Emissions at four of the world’s largest ports are up 79 per cent since the start of the pandemic, according to a study conducted by Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University.
Currently, maritime shipping currently accounts for three per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, a higher rate than planes.
