Maritime transport is the backbone of global trade, responsible for transporting over 80% of the world’s trade volume. However, it also accounts for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, a complex challenge that demands innovative solutions. Mystic Cruises, committed to sustainability and innovation, closely follows the development of energy alternatives for the maritime sector.
In this context, today, March 12th, the Escola Superior Náutica Infante D. Henrique hosted a public lecture on the use of nuclear energy in the naval industry. The event featured renowned experts, including Luís Guimarais, Sérgio Ribeiro e Silva, Prof. Luís Baptista, and Bruno Soares Gonçalves, who discussed the challenges and opportunities of nuclear energy as a viable alternative for the decarbonization of the maritime sector.
The need for sustainable and efficient energy solutions requires a multifaceted approach, where the training of new generations of professionals plays a crucial role. The inclusion of nuclear propulsion topics in nautical school curricula will be essential to equip future sailors and naval engineers for this potential energy revolution.
Mystic Cruises believes that such debates are fundamental for the advancement of the industry and for building a sustainable future. By supporting initiatives like this lecture, we reinforce our commitment to innovation and the development of solutions that ensure a cleaner and more efficient maritime sector.
