In coastal countries, the maritime industry has a structure that complements and strengthens the sectors it is connected to, and its ties to tourism are growing stronger every day. In today’s world, where the value of green maritime practices is increasing, the collaborations of maritime transportation and tourism with related fields, their sustainability, and environmental sensitivity will contribute to the long-term development of these two industries. The aim of this study is to examine the research on green maritime studies using visual mapping technique and bibliometric analysis. In this context, Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database was used to analyze scientific publications in the field of green maritime and searches were made with the keyword “Green Maritime”. Based on the search results, the most influential articles, countries, authors and titles were identified, and citation, word mining and bibliometric matching analyses were performed using VOSviewer software. The research findings reveal the distribution of studies in the field of green maritime studies by year, publication categories, authors with the most publications and the most cited articles. According to the results of the analysis, “China, Denmark and Norway” stand out among the countries that publish the most in this field. Among the universities with the highest number of publications are “Technical University of Denmark”, “Dalian Maritime University” and “Shanghai Maritime University”. In the study, a word map and co-authorship map of green maritime literature were also created. While keywords such as “green maritime logistics”, “maritime transport” and “speed optimization” stand out in the word map, the co-authorship map shows the prevalence of international collaborations. This study provides theoretical contributions to related fields and offers data to support strategies for advancing sustainable maritime practices.
