摘要: The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions due to transport operations have drastically increased in recent years. sea particular contributes 2.7 3 percent of CO2, a major component GHG globally. Numerous measures been undertaken locally and internationally alleviate the share Gases. However, most these will be fruitful if ship investors (e.g., owners operators) would fully employ emission reduction strategies. Due scarcity statistical data this respect, study therefore presents rough set synthetic assessment (RSSA) model abatement strategies Tanzanian shipping sector. results reveal that companies engaged Cabotage trade are aware moderately apply them.
