    Description
    Description

    The World Ocean Council, along with the Centro Tecnologico Naval y del Mar, the Port of Barcelona and Barcelona Activa as well as numerous other key stakeholders from across the Mediterranean, including regional governments and industry leaders, commits to advancing sustainable maritime practices through an innovative Centre of Excellence on Mediterranean Green Shipping. This initiative aims to foster innovation, enhance environmental stewardship, and promote sustainable development within the Mediterranean maritime sector. The Centre of Excellence on Mediterranean Green Shipping is designed to become a pivotal institution in driving the transition towards greener maritime operations. Objectives: 1a Innovation in Green Technologies: Accelerate the development and deployment of green shipping technologies by facilitating research, development, and innovation through collaborations between academia, industry, and government. 2) Capacity Building: Enhance skills and knowledge among maritime professionals regarding sustainable practices and technologies through targeted training programs and workshops. 3) Policy Advocacy: Work with regional policymakers to formulate and promote regulations that encourage the adoption of sustainable maritime technologies and practices. 4) Environmental Protection: Implement initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, minimizing waste, and preserving marine biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea.

    Implementation Methodologies: Partnerships - Leverage partnerships with maritime companies, technology providers, academic institutions, and governments to pool resources, share knowledge, and coordinate efforts; Technology Incubation - Establish a green technology incubator to support startups and innovations focused on sustainable maritime solutions; Training and Education - Develop a comprehensive education and training program that includes courses, seminars, and hands-on workshops for maritime professionals; Demonstration Projects - Launch pilot projects to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of new green technologies in real-world maritime operations.

    Follow-up Mechanisms:
    Monitoring and Reporting - Regularly monitor the environmental performance of implemented technologies and practices using established metrics, and report findings to stakeholders and the global community; Feedback Loops - Create mechanisms for feedback from all stakeholders to continually improve the effectiveness of the Centre’s initiatives; Annual Conferences - Host annual conferences to share progress, disseminate best practices, and facilitate dialogue among maritime stakeholders.

    Governance:
    The governance structure of the Centre of Excellence on Mediterranean Green Shipping includes a Steering Committee composed of representatives from the World Ocean Council, regional maritime authorities, and industry leaders. This committee is responsible for strategic decision-making, oversight of the Centre’s activities, and ensuring alignment with international maritime sustainability goals. The Centre will also include several working groups focusing on specific areas such as technology innovation, policy development, and environmental monitoring. These groups are tasked with executing the Centre’s initiatives and ensuring stakeholder engagement across the maritime industry.

    Impact and Sustainability:
    Through this voluntary commitment, the Centre of Excellence on Mediterranean Green Shipping aims to lead the transformation of the maritime sector in the Mediterranean towards sustainability, significantly contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 14: Life Below Water. The initiatives will not only enhance maritime environmental standards but also promote economic growth and social development in the region, establishing a balanced approach to maritime activities in the Mediterranean.
