The large-scale survey, coordinated by the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association (HELMEPA) with backing from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, gathered 898 responses from shipping companies, seafarers, ports, suppliers and civil society. It found rising awareness of climate obligations, but also persistent gaps in infrastructure, training and technology. According to the findings, 74 per cent of shipping company respondents said they were already aligned or planning to align with the IMO’s net-zero targets, though progress remains uneven. Onshore power systems are the most common planned initiative, yet 40 per cent of ports have no decarbonisation interventions underway. Many citizens believe shipping contributes 50–70 per cent of global GHG emissions, whereas the actual figure is closer to 3 per cent.
