- High asset costs and long vessel life present a daunting challenge for decarbonization.
- Increasing regulatory pressure across the marine fuel supply chain.
- Demand for higher volumes in shorter sea trades, leading to higher carbon intensity.
- Challenges in installing additional ballast water treatment systems due to availability issues and lack of experienced installation companies in Canada.
- An ageing workforce and maritime skills shortage in Canada and Australia.
