Summary
This introductory chapter discusses major changes in the shipping industry, traditionally rather conservative and static, but now increasingly characterized by fundamental innovations and dynamism. Several of the drivers for these key innovations are discussed, such as technological advances, changes in legal requirements, effects from climate change, as well as economic pressures to become even more efficient.
