Sustainability in Ship Design and Operations (SISDO) is a key focus in the maritime industry, emphasizing innovative, eco-friendly technologies to reduce shipping’s environmental impact. The aim is to design more efficient ships that produce fewer emissions, paving the way for a sustainable future in shipping.
Webb Institute and the USMMA, in collaboration with MARIN and Wind Support NYC, recently hosted a two-day conference dedicated to SISDO. This event brought together maritime industry experts to explore cutting-edge technologies, innovative concepts, case studies, and success stories in sustainable ship design and operations.
The conference was held from October 28th-29th and covered a range of topics, including alternative energy and power technologies, emission reduction strategies, and ship recycling. For more insights, watch the videos below.
