Question

What are the impact of global warming to the shipping industry?

Answer 1

On the negitave sid there will be more storms at sea. Higher taxes on fuel. Greater wear on ships due to increased storm action.

On the plus side, Ports will become deeper as the sea level rises.

Answer 2

I think the ocean pollution will cause the bleach of coral, sea weeds, the melting of the ice caps, the extinction of penguins up in the arctics, getting lessen ocean spices in the ocean, and many sea water plants will be affected. The diesel fuels used in shipping engines that polluted the ocean a lot. It will eventually has the phenomenon of too cold in some places (supposed it was warm or hot), too hot (supposed cold spots), too high or too low in water level (flood and drought) in some continents.

I think the shipping industry may need to pay some environmental protection fee just like the air transportation industry.
