ABSTRACT
The concept of sustainability has become increasingly significant and has forced companies to take
sustainable measures because of the reduction of energy resources and operational efficiency, the increase in emission release, and environmental pollution. In addition, technological developments and
globalization have also affected the maritime industry and coerced shipping companies to struggle to
survive in a highly competitive environment. Sustainability is addressed by environmental, social, and
economic aspects under the GRI. It should be noticed that many important elements based on economy,
environment, social aspects, technology, and information determine sustainability. Sustainability also
benefits from KPI indicators that determine ship performance criteria. This chapter examines the concept
of sustainability in various dimensions and establishes a general framework by searching the literature
of sustainability of liner shipping and also sustainability reports of the international maritime transport
companies.
