This report examines potential future challenges to safely shipping commodities around the world. The marine transportation system is constantly influenced by a range of environmental, economic, and technological factors. These present new opportunities while at the same time potentially posing risks for which the system as a whole must be prepared. This report seeks to identify and assess emerging risks in marine transportation. These risks, while not fully understood now, have the potential to alter the nature and location vessel casualties in the future. While it is beyond the scope of this study to recommend specific risk avoidance or mitigation strategies, the report’s broader purpose is to aid in risk mitigation and response preparation.
