Shipping Decarbonisation: Truth or Myth?: Why Energy Efficiency, System Thinking, and Reality Matter More Than Hype
Shipping decarbonisation has moved from technical discussion to political mandate.
Yet much of the debate is driven by narrative rather than system reality. This book challenges prevailing assumptions around alternative fuels, net-zero targets, and compliance technologies, and examines shipping decarbonisation through the lens of energy efficiency, upstream emissions, operational constraints, economics, and human factors.
Written by a senior maritime practitioner with decades of shipboard and shore-based experience, Shipping Truth or Myth? argues that real progress will come not from fuel hype or accounting optics, but from reducing energy demand, reforming upstream systems, and designing solutions that crews and operators can actually sustain.
This book is essential reading for shipowners, technical managers, regulators, financiers, and anyone seeking a realistic understanding of what maritime decarbonisation can — and cannot — deliver.
