Abstract

According to sustainability, the Strategy to protect the oceans, water surfaces, and water resources that constitute 70% of the world is generally called a Blue Economy (BE). This Strategy maximizes the return from the aquatic environment, which can only be achieved when economic activity is perfectly balanced with the long-term activity of ocean ecosystems. Threats arising during and after studies and activities should be anticipated and actively reduced. This proactive stance is fundamental to the Blue Economy philosophy and allows us to reap its benefits while protecting our oceans. One of the most essential elements of the Blue Economy philosophy is maritime transportation, Ships, and Ports. The maritime industry should remain sustainable and green as it develops. The study investigated the impact of the Blue Economy on maritime transportation and how maritime transportation affects world trade.
