According to World Economic Forum, ports play a pivotal role in the global economy, handling 80% of the world’s trade by sea, but their importance goes far beyond logistics.

Moving towards a low-emission global economy will require new 'green jobs' and reskilling, and the maritime industry is no different, says World Economic Forum (WEF) in a new article. Global shipping's green transition could create new jobs and skills for hundreds of thousands of seafarers worldwide. Therefore, coordinated policy-making will be key to matching supply and demand and for countries to capitalize on green job opportunities.
