Concerns about the planet’s health are undeniably increasing, particularly in relation to the impacts of human-induced global warming, which significantly contributes to the excessive accumulation of greenhouse gases—such as CO2—in the atmosphere. This paper outlines a series of critical advancements in the maritime industry’s efforts toward greater transparency in greenhouse gas emissions linked to fender manufacturing activities. Initially, it examines the current scenario, highlighting various measures that all fender manufacturers can adopt to reduce CO2 emissions through design modifications, material selection, transportation, and maintenance practices. Subsequently, it presents a Carbon Footprint Assessment, offering product-specific CO2 emissions data for each engineered fender system order upon request. The focus here is on enhancing supply chain oversight to deliver a level of transparency and accountability that is unprecedented.
