IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON MARINE TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

English

Global Warming with climate change related to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns. These changes occur naturally, for example through changes in the solar cycle. However, since the 19th century, human activities have been the main trigger for climate change, especially due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. Burning fossil fuels creates greenhouse gases which act like a blanket on the earth, generating heat from the sun and increasing temperatures. This climate change has significant consequences for maritime transportation zones. Maritime transportation involves the shipping of ships or the movement of passengers or cargo between ports throughout the world. So, in this research, we want to look at the correlation between climate change and shipping and its consequences. This research uses a literature review and qualitative descriptive analysis. The research results show that there is a correlation between climate change and sea transportation. The consequences of climate change include changes in traffic flow patterns, danger, damage to infrastructure such as ports, traffic lane efficiency and accidents in maritime transportation. Considering that these consequences impact shipping operations, preventive measures need to be taken, one of which is improving shipping safety. Not only that, urgent efforts are needed to use environmentally friendly ships, improve infrastructure and long-term shipping technology and share learning about environmentally friendly ships..Keywords: Climate, Infrastructure, Transportation

Global Warming dengan perubahan iklim terkait pergantian temperatur serta pola cuaca dalam jangka panjang. Pergantian tersebut terjalin secara natural misalnya lewat pergantian siklus matahari. Tetapi semenjak abad 19, kegiatan manusia jadi pemicu utama pergantian iklim paling utama akibat pembakaran bahan bakar fosil semacam batu bara, minyak, serta gas. Pembakaran bahan bakar fosil menciptakan gas rumah kaca yang berperan semacam selimut di bumi, menciptakan panas dari matahari serta tingkatkan temperatur. Pergantian iklim ini memiliki akibat yang signifikan terhadap zona transportasi laut. Transportasi laut mengaitkan pelayaran kapal ataupun pergerakan barang penumpang ataupun kargo antar pelabuhan di segala dunia. Jadi, dalam penelitian ini, kita hendak memandang korelasi antara pergantian iklim serta pelayaran dan akibatnya. Riset ini memakai tinjauan literatur serta analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil riset menampilkan terdapatnya korelasi antara pergantian iklim serta transportasi laut. Akibat pergantian iklim antara lain pergantian pola alur lintas, bahaya, rusaknya infrastruktur semacam pelabuhan, efisiensi lajur lintas serta kecelakaan pada transportasi laut. Mengingat akibat tersebut mengecam operasional pelayaran, hingga butuh upaya preventif untuk dicoba salah satunya dengan tingkatkan keselamatan pelayaran. Tidak hanya itu, dibutuhkan upaya mendesak pemakaian kapal ramah lingkungan meningkatkan infrastruktur serta teknologi pelayaran berkepanjangan dan membagikan pembelajaran pemahaman kapal ramah lingkungan.
