The Green Transition of Vietnam’s Maritime Industry: Reality and the Implementation Roadmap for Hai Phong Port toward Green

Abstract

The 2023 World Maritime Day adopted the theme “Marpol at 50 - Our Commitment Goes On” to highlight the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships. As the world shifts towards developing green industries, Vietnam’s maritime sector also faces the critical task of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing environmental pollution. This article presents the criteria for Green Ports, the Green Transition plan as well as the roadmap for the development of green seaports of Vietnam’s maritime industry, while also analyzes the case of the development of Hai Phong Green Port as a testimony to Vietnam’s maritime sector’s determination and efforts in the Green Transition.
