- Supply chain disruptions due to climate events (droughts, floods, cyclones, sea-level rise).
- High capital cost for shore power infrastructure.
- High electricity price for shore power compared to marine fuel.
- Lack of port emission control regulations to incentivize shore power development.
- Restrictions on renewable power plant installations due to Gujarat State laws.
