Multicriteria Analysis of Alternative Marine Fuels in Sustainable Coastal Marine Traffic [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Marine transportation is considered to be one of the most important aspects of global transportation services. Due to the increase in marine transportation, there are significant impacts on the marine environment. One of the possible measures for mitigation of the environmental impact could be switching to environmentally friendly fuel.
