More than Navigation: How shipping is transforming to deliver economic growth and improved sustainability
This is a past event
School of Marine Science and Policy Professor Jim Corbett presents the February lecture in World of Discovery, the College of Earth, Ocean and Environment's lecture series in partnership with the Delaware Museum of Natural History.
Shipping is engaged in the most dramatic long-term transition since the introduction of the marine diesel engine. Logistics supply chains are adapting in ways similar to the emergence of containerized cargo transport. Similar to other major periods of innovation in shipping, this transformation in shipping requires new discoveries, bold ideas, and diverse collaboration. And, similar to the emerging age of steam ships, age of oil-powered ships, and age of containerization, industry leaders are variously pursuing and resisting these changes. The most notable characteristic of this transition in shipping is its motivation: a new commitment to energy conservation is coupled with broad ambitions for environmental stewardship.
