Sustainability in Ship Design and Operations (SISDO) is an important topic that is currently being discussed in the maritime industry as it focuses on developing innovative and environmentally friendly technologies to reduce the impact of shipping on the environment. The goal is to create ships that are more efficient and emit fewer pollutants, making the shipping industry more sustainable in the long run.
Webb Institute and the USMMA, in conjunction with MARIN and Wind Support NYC, hosted a two-day conference on Sustainability in Ship Design and Operations. The conference brought together experts from the maritime industry to discuss the latest technologies, concepts, case studies, and success stories related to SISDO.
The conference presented topics on alternative energy and power technologies, emission reduction methods, ship recycling and more. You can watch the videos below for more information.
