As the world continues to grapple with its carbon footprint and with 2020 likely to be the world's second hottest year according to the UN, there are now calls for a quantum leap in decarbonisation across all industries and sectors. With regulations increasing and environmental consciousness growing, it is important for the port and terminal industry to evolve and adapt to the newest technology and reach the industry’s goal of zero emissions operations.
While aware of the pressing need to decarbonise their activities, the road towards that end is still unclear. Operationally this provides several logistical and financial obstacles for an industry in need of harmonizing its decarbonisation efforts.
Following the IMO’s sulphur cap, the maritime and logistics sector continues its efforts to decarbonise its operations. In Latin America the main barrier to this goal, however, is the significant infrastructure investment that ports and terminals in the region need, which in turn requires government approval to meet international environmental standards.
Furthermore, by developing adjacent sustainable economic activities in ports, these will gain added value while having a positive impact upon surrounding communities.
