Özet

This project examines how shipping companies respond to the environmental dimension of sustainability. In particular, it adopts a research design focusing on the impact of sustainability practices in shipping on logistics costs. The study indicates that with the increase in environmental awareness, maritime transport companies are moving towards adopting ecological strategies. Maritime transport was specifically chosen because of the critical role of its international trade and accessibility. However, the pressure to be sustainable puts the maritime transport sector in a dilemma between cheap or dirty fuels and sustainability regulations.

The research draws attention to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions from ships used in maritime transport and emphasizes the importance of maritime transport companies aligning their environmental strategies with sustainability. The stated aim of the project is to evaluate the impact of sustainability measures in maritime transport on logistics costs with empirical data. This assessment includes steps such as examining the impacts of the environmental dimension of sustainability on the maritime transport sector, classifying current costs, identifying sustainability activities, and measuring the impact of these activities on logistics costs.

The research aims to evaluate the true impact of sustainability measures on maritime transport logistics costs by analyzing studies in the sector. As a result, this project aims to offer a novel perspective on the sector by examining the impact of sustainability practices in maritime transport on the costs of enterprises.
