Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to reduce the carbon footprint of the Saudi commercial shipping industry
The Saudi commercial shipping industry, a crucial component of the nation’s economy, significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This paper explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize shipping operations and reduce the industry’s carbon footprint. We delve into various AI applications, including route optimization, predictive maintenance, and smart vessel design, illustrating their capacity to enhance fuel efficiency, minimize emissions, and foster sustainability. Furthermore, the paper examines the current state of AI adoption in the Saudi maritime sector and highlights the challenges and opportunities for its wider implementation. By harnessing the power of AI, the Saudi commercial shipping industry can achieve significant environmental gains while maintaining its economic vitality.
