Abstract
Although around 96% of greenhouse gas emissions occur during the operational phase of a ship, the contribution of the shipbuilding phase to greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase in view of the energy transition towards zero emission fuels. There is therefore room for improvement in decarbonizing the manufacturing of ships. The author of this chapter reports on the analysis of data about a sample of shipyards, and identifies that the focus on decarbonization is strongest in developed countries and is progressively weaker in shipyards in developing and least developed countries. The author goes on to identify a number of reasons why this is so.
