The future of the logistics industry in the European Union by 2032 - challenges of the operational adoption of wind-powered cargo vessels in the logistics industry
| Resumo: | This research study has its origin in the environmental concerns regarding carbon dioxide emissions in maritime logistics. Through the exploration of sustainability innovation, the focus is put on wind-powered cargo vessels. This paper aims to explore and explain the industry dynamics that complicate the operational adoption of wind-powered cargo vessels. Through the application of the multi-level perspective, three key factors were identified to challenge wind power in the maritime sector: managerial reluctance, locked-in heavy oil fuel, and gradual industry reorientation. These hinder the sustainable transition process, required for ocean freight to comply with the global sustainability goal. |
