As environmental issues come into sharp focus on a global scale, coastal shipping is gaining attention as an environmentally friendly means of transportation. For example, energy efficiency. The energy consumption required to transport one ton of cargo one kilometer is about one-seventh that of a freight truck, and CO2 emissions are about one-sixth. It is also attracting attention as a means to accommodate truck-transported cargo, which has been facing a serious driver shortage in recent years.
