Challenges and Countermeasures of Green Shipping Legal Issues in China

中国绿色航运法律问题的挑战与对策

With the rapid development of the global shipping industry, the pollution problem in the shipping industry has long been the focus of attention in the international community. Shipping undertakes approximately 90% of the world's trade transportation. As one of the main sources of water pollution, emissions from ship transportation should be given due attention and improved. The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major deployment for building a strong maritime country. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China explicitly proposed to “adhere to the integrated development of land and sea and accelerate the building of a strong maritime country.” Green shipping has become an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of China's shipping industry. This not only helps the world address climate change and achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, but also is an inevitable trend in promoting the modernization of maritime governance and Marine environmental protection. This article analyzes the challenges and countermeasures of developing green shipping from a legal perspective, with the aim of promoting the development of green shipping in China.
