Maritime industry transformation toward sustainability confronts critical knowledge gaps regarding stakeholder perspectives on environmental imperatives versus operational realities. This investigation transcends disciplinary fragmentation by examining integrated stakeholder perspectives as complex professional phenomena rather than simple attitudes. The research explores how maritime professionals, educators, and graduates conceptualize sustainable ship design relationships with operational innovation, identifying perspective convergence and divergence points. Qualitative descriptive analysis employing semi-structured interviews across three stakeholder categories, utilizing thematic analysis and cross-group comparative approaches. Stakeholder effectiveness assessment reveals consistently high performance (8.5-9.0 scores), demonstrating sophisticated sustainability understanding with strong convergence around alternative fuel integration and energy efficiency, while divergences reflect distinct professional contexts rather than attitudinal differences. Sustainable maritime transformation requires recognizing stakeholder perspectives as complementary resources, integrating professional caution with innovative enthusiasm through collaborative implementation strategies that honor both environmental objectives and operational wisdom.
