Sažetak
Containerisation has changed the world and enabled modern globalisation. The invention and usage of containers notably facilitated and expedited the transportation of various commodities and enabled enormous progress in transport technology. However, in addition to all its advantages, container shipping by sea also has disadvantages, such as emissions of noxious gases, which pollute the environment and negatively affect people’s health. Therefore, it is necessary to make the transport of containers by sea more environmentally friendly and sustainable. The paper presents the most prominent methods by which container shipping by sea is evolving to be more sustainable. The authors reviewed and used available literature dealing with techniques like reducing energy consumption, navigating at a reduced speed or optimising the sailing route. In addition, methods like using alternative energy sources for the propulsion of container ships, such as liquefied natural gas, and measures undertaken at container terminals, are presented. Moreover, automation and digitalisation of the transport process, along with using smart containers, are introduced. Digitalisation and smart containers are considered the future of containerisation and represent the path toward a sustainable and safe technology for container shipping by sea.
