How to Use Wind Energy for the Maritime Industry?
Although sea shipping is the most common way to transport goods worldwide, the maritime industry is considered as one of the main greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters.
To be more sustainable, the maritime industry relies on the work of all the actors present in this industry. We are talking about creating a better world where humans, the environment, and biodiversity live together. On a maritime scale, we are talking about greener shipping, companies in line with the SDGs, and all maritime actors considering the environmental and social responsibility of their activities.
Although sea shipping is the most common way to transport goods worldwide, the maritime industry is considered as one of the main greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters.
As one of the most polluting economic sectors, the maritime industry has a leading role to play in the fight against climate change and other great “carbon constraints” issues, such as public health preservation.
Blue economy refers to an integrated approach based on the sustainable use of the oceans and coastal areas to deal with environmental degradation and resource depletion.
The environmental challenges faced by the shipping industry and the role of the IMO in coordinating efforts to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint. It examines the IMO’s priorities from an environmental perspective.
Metocean data is fundamental to the success of all marine offshore & renewable projects, from planning and exploration to design and implementation.
Metocean concerns understanding meteorological and oceanographic conditions in offshore coastal engineering or renewable energy projects.
Countries are accelerating their energy transition with the fight against climate change. They are actively exploring alternative solutions for electricity generation.
Climate change, pollution, loss of resources, social inequality, income disparity, and famine… —are all pressing issues that countries are currently facing.
The path to creating a better world for future generations is no longer solely the concern of governments and international organizations.
Encouraging the use of offshore wind farms as a source of renewable energy is an important step toward becoming a greener, more sustainable world, and fighting climate change.

The maritime industry is a strategic economic sector, but it is also one of the most polluting activities. Artificial intelligence-based systems are bringing changes, helping the shipping business to be more efficient, reduce its environmental impact and improve its profitability.

The environmental impacts related to shipping call for innovative solutions to these problems. Here are five environmental impacts related to shipping.
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) enables organizations to focus on and minimize the impacts of their activities on the environment. Today, maritime businesses are increasingly using an EMS to plan, implement, monitor, and review processes.
At Sinay, we pride ourselves on supporting the European Union’s goal of a sustainable future as communicated through the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Ports, the center of maritime-based business activities and crucial to the economic development of their surrounding area, are a major actor of the shipping industry. Now, ports are going greener to reduce waste emissions and help the climate, while simultaneously increasing their competitive advantage.
Managing stormwater using digital data systems is enabling ports to step ahead – benefiting both the environment and helping them to grow their business capacity. Extreme rainfall events combined with increasing development provide significant challenges for maintaining high standards of water quality.
Monitor air quality in real-time, be alerted when a threshold is reached & easily comply with regulation thanks to the automated reports.
Monitor water quality in real-time, predict and avoid water pollution & comply with regulations thanks to the automated reports.

We may not always realize it, but the environment affects us every day both long term and short term.
As 90 percent of goods are shipped by sea, evidently the maritime sector has a big impact on economic activity and equally a big impact on the environment. With maritime activities and environmental impacts increasing every year, we must care more about the Earth’s health.
When ports and shipping companies focus on reducing their environmental impacts, they also increase their business efficiency. For example, when shipping companies use less fuel or other sources of energy, they are reducing their environmental impact while decreasing costs. When ports focus on reducing port congestion, they reduce fuel emissions which helps the surrounding community, yet they also make their port more efficient. Caring for the environment in fact cultivates economic growth while positively impacting the human population, marine life, and wildlife.
The maritime industry must also prepare for non-renewable resources to continue to decrease. They must therefore use renewable and less harmful energy sources. This switch is often digital, encompassing Smart Ports and Smart Ships.
Human health, natural resources, the ecosystem, economic growth, and future generations are all impacted by how we treat our environment.
Environmental monitoring uses real-time data, Artificial Intelligence, and advanced monitoring systems connected to sensors to give key environmental indicators so that maritime actors can reduce pollution and decrease environmental impacts. These key indicators help measure air, water, and noise pollution.
Digitalization and real-time data allow maritime actors to more efficiently measure environmental impacts than with past techniques that only use sampling and lab tests.
Environmental monitoring helps maritime actors to assess risk and generate risk assessment and impact reports. It also helps maritime actors to have more support from the surrounding community.
Environmental monitoring reduces the short-term and long-term environmental impacts of maritime activities, contributing to more national support for ports and shipping companies.
Digital automated monitoring systems are essential for the future of maritime activities and the future of the impact on air, water, and noise quality for the human population.
The demand for environmental monitoring is increasing worldwide, and there exist many types of environmental monitoring analyses including water quality monitoring, air quality monitoring, and noise quality monitoring.
