The maritime shipping sector, responsible for nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, faces significant regulatory, infrastructural, and economic barriers in its transition toward decarbonization. This study employs a multiple case analysis of the European Union’s emissions trading system, China’s green shipping corridors, and Maersk’s adoption of alternative fuels to examine the challenges of regulatory fragmentation, high costs, and inadequate infrastructure. Findings reveal that policy misalignment, insufficient investment in alternative fuel supply chains, and stakeholder disengagement hinder the industry’s green transition. This study advocates for a globally harmonized regulatory framework, strategic investments in alternative fuel infrastructure, and enhanced stakeholder collaboration. By proposing innovative strategies, such as public-private partnerships and digital compliance mechanisms, this research provides a roadmap for overcoming these barriers and accelerating the adoption of sustainable maritime practices. The insights contribute to global efforts to meet the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 decarbonization targets.

The maritime transport of dangerous goods (DG), including hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), poses escalating environmental and legal challenges, particularly in Southeast Asia’s high-traffic corridors. While international frameworks such as UNCLOS, MARPOL, and the IMDG code impose clear obligations, ASEAN member states exhibit fragmented implementation and limited HNS-specific preparedness. This paper critically assesses the region’s regulatory landscape through a legal-doctrinal and theoretical lens, identifying gaps in treaty ratification, port state control, and regional cooperation. It argues that soft-law mechanisms and institutional inertia undermine effective risk governance. This study calls for a binding regional instrument on HNS response, harmonized inspection regimes, and integrated liability frameworks to align ASEAN practices with global marine protection standards. Accordingly, the purpose of this work is to examine how ASEAN’s approach to DG transport aligns with international maritime law and to propose reforms that strengthen both regional and global marine environmental governance.

The marine insurance contract primarily aims at providing security for the performance of the commercial activity of transporting goods. This contract has a special nature that aims to indemnify the insured against losses to the marine adventure. Marine insurance contract disputes, like several other types of disputes, are determined by various resolution procedures, either in the courts or through alternative methods such as arbitration, negotiation, and mediation. This characteristic influences the choice of the substantive and procedural rules that will apply to resolve possible conflicts between the parties. If disputes do arise, peaceful and quick resolution is in the interest of everyone involved. Commercial parties usually insert in marine insurance contracts the choice of court and applicable law clauses that determine a timely resolution of disputes. The choice of dispute resolution method is therefore critical. In this paper, we discuss modern, quick, and effective resolutions to ensure that the disputes arising from a marine insurance contract are resolved at the lowest cost. We also analyze several cases.
