88% of the maritime industry agrees that the ‘Green Agenda’ is good for the global industry, but less than 46% say it actually offers good value for money, according to a survey carried out by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).
With around 200 responses, the survey also claims that 75% of respondents think the ‘Green Agenda’ can impact business and could act as a success factor, with 78% agreeing that more options need to be made available to encourage companies to invest in green initiatives.
“The survey results are really interesting and clearly highlight that the industry as a whole could use a best-practice guide or a set of options that are clearly available,” said John Barnes of the IMarEST.
