Navigation and berthing are set to become more challenging due to changes in wind patterns, water agitation, and increased water depth. Loading equipment, storage, and hinterland connectivity are also set to be disrupted by flooding, rising heat levels, irregular wind, lower visibility, and overtopping. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What can be done? <\/strong>Owners and operators need to embrace a two-pronged approach to adaptation for what\u2019s yet to come \u2014 \u201csoft\u201d and \u201chard\u201d adaptation, according to a 2022 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/9\/1646.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">report (pdf)<\/a> by the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Defense Fund<\/a> (EDF).

Governments may consider zoning or restricting areas prone to sea level rise, and providing financial grants or subsidies to support resilience investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Meanwhile, \u201chard\u201d adaptation measures comprising structural modification to ports should also be on the table<\/strong>, the EDF said, adding that these measures can usually be summarized as adopting one or more of these three tactics: Elevate, defend, or retreat. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- Elevating port infrastructure:<\/strong> This strategy of \u201celevate\u201d prescribes raising port surfaces and infrastructure, implementing fill materials, and reconstructing facilities at a higher elevation. A number of infrastructural components are raised, including piers, yard areas, roads, and warehouses. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some issues to expect:<\/strong> Environmental compliance as well as demolition costs, erosion control, and reconnecting electricity and rail infrastructure are likely to drive up the cost of this type of adaptation measures, the report says. For example, some ports may not possess locally available fill material needed for elevation, in which case, trucking the materials would inflate the bill considerably. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A case in point: <\/strong>A study into the cost of elevation in the Los Angeles Port revealed that elevation measures would require an annual investment of USD 100 mn per year. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- Raising defenses against rising water levels: <\/strong>Measures of \u201cdefending\u201d ports include establishing dikes, seawalls, floodgates, breakwaters, and drainage systems, among other defenses. These systems aim to bolster a port\u2019s formidability against rising storm surges that are caused by the combined effect of rising heat and sea levels. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The drawbacks:<\/strong> In addition to their high cost of construction, similar defense structures may disrupt surrounding marine ecosystems, which may in turn create new problems for a port\u2019s infrastructure through increased erosion or altered soil salinity. Storm-surge barriers and similar defenses can also restrict ship traffic, leading to delays and reduced operational efficiency. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.1500000000000001;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3- Strategically retreating: <\/strong>Relocating ports away from possible danger zones may ostensibly be less cost-intensive than other \u201chard\u201d adaptation measures, but no existing studies have established definitive cost estimates, the EDF report says. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!--

By gross tonnage, 8.9% of the global fleet can currently operate on alternative fuels, while 51.1% of ships on order are designed for such fuels \u2014 both slightly higher than last year\u2019s 7.4% for operational ships and 49.5% for ships on order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A problem of conversion: <\/strong>As of the report's release, some 91% of the world's operating tonnage can only run on conventional oil fuels and can fully decarbonize with oil fuel sourced from biomass or green hydrogen \u2014 bio-MGO and e-MGO \u2014 the global supply of which remains uncertain. Another alternative is to convert to alternative fuels or adopt onboard carbon capture. Among vessels on order, 48.9% of total tonnage and 73.5% of ships face the same limitation. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Decarbonization trends vary, from ship to ship: <\/strong>Shipping decarbonization seems to vary according to whether the ship in question is a bulker, tanker, or containership, according to the report. Bulk carriers usually have lower asset values and less predictable routes, making it hard to justify the extra cost of conversion. In turn, only 0.6% of existing bulkers can run on alternative fuels compared to 5.2% of those on order. Containerships \u2014 which have more predictable routes \u2014 show 4.7% of them having alternative fuel systems, compared to 76% of those on order. The stark difference is owed to a higher willingness from freight buyers in this segment to pay a premium to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Shipping needs access to low-GHG fuels\u2026:<\/strong> Maritime players will have to seek out low-GHG fuels \u2014 such as biofuels \u2014 as regulations like the International Maritime Organization\u2019s (IMO) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/logistics\/en\/news\/story\/a73704f0-9a5f-4a01-859c-18404a0f2233\/imo%25e2%2580%2599s-new-rules-to-power-maritime-decarbonization,-but-low-green-fuel-supply-%2B-oil-prices-risk-limiting-its-power\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Net-Zero Framework<\/a> (NZF) come into effect, the report finds. There are also major headwinds facing low-GHG adoption, evidenced by the fact that DV found only 4% of hydrogen-derived low-GHG fuel project pipelines successfully reached their Final Investment Decision, with around 1% reaching operational status. The challenge is that suppliers are seeing higher cost pressures, uncertain market demand, and industry-wide economic hurdles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u2026 as well as carbon storage infrastructure: <\/strong>While global carbon dioxide storage is projected to grow by 25% by 2030, available capacity remains quite limited, as it is reserved in advance.
