▲"Navigating the future: safety first!" has been selected for the International Maritime Organization's 2024 World Maritime Theme.

新技術和替代燃料時代的海事安全是國際海事組織2024年世界海事主題的核心。

“領航未來：安全第一！”被選為國際海事組織2024年世界海事主題，該主題將在2024年9月26日慶祝世界海事日時達到高潮。

該主題反映了國際海事組織在保護海洋環境的同時加強海上安全和安保的工作，同時確保其監管發展進程安全地預見到技術變革和創新的快速步伐。

國際海事組織秘書長林基澤說：

“這一主題將使我們能夠專注于新技術和適應技術以及替代燃料的引入所產生的全方位安全監管影響，包括減少船舶溫室氣體排放的措施，因為國際海事組織努力確保航運的安全和效率得到維持，并可能得到改善，從而使海運國際貿易的流動繼續保持平穩和高效?！?/p>

自1948年海事組織成立以來，安全一直是該組織所有活動的核心。隨著差距日益明顯，以及國際海事組織積極主動地預測適應新興技術和創新所需的變化，監管框架正在不斷發展，一個突出的例子是目前正在進行的基于目標的海上自主水面船舶規則(MASS Code)的開發。

2024年是1974年《國際海上人命安全公約》（SOLAS Convention）通過50周年，該公約是國際海事組織規范海上安全的關鍵條約。

數字化和自動化通過引入新技術，增強安全、安保和效率，優化性能，減少環境影響，確?？沙掷m性，正在日益徹底改變航運業。

這提高了航運業的整體效率和競爭力，使船舶的設計、建造和運營更加高效，處理更多貨物，降低成本，提高客戶滿意度成為可能。

海運運輸約占全球貿易的90%，是對環境破壞最小的運輸方式。很明顯，提高船舶安全性和減少溫室氣體(GHG)排放是齊頭并進的——兩者對于實現可持續和高效的海運業至關重要。

“領航未來：安全第一！”的主題促進了國際海事組織雄心勃勃的加速溫室氣體減排政策，其中包括對引入新技術和適應技術及替代燃料所帶來的安全風險進行評估，以及制定監管措施以解決并最終減輕這些風險。

該主題還與《聯合國2030年可持續發展議程》和若干聯合國可持續發展目標密切相關，特別是

可持續發展目標7：通過促進獲得清潔能源研究和技術，確保獲得負擔得起的、可靠的、可持續的現代能源；

可持續發展目標8：促進持續、包容和可持續的經濟增長、充分和生產性就業以及人人享有體面工作；

可持續發展目標9：建設有彈性的基礎設施，促進包容性和可持續的工業化，促進創新；

可持續發展目標13：采取緊急行動應對氣候變化及其影響；

以及可持續發展目標14：關于保護和可持續利用海洋和海洋資源促進可持續發展。

海事組織理事會第129屆會議根據海事組織秘書長林基澤的提議核可了這一主題。

Maritime safety in an era of new technologies and alternative fuels central to IMO World Maritime Theme for 2024.

"Navigating the future: safety first!" has been selected for the International Maritime Organization's 2024 World Maritime Theme, which will culminate in the celebration of World Maritime Day on 26 September 2024.

The theme reflects IMO's work to enhance maritime safety and security, in tandem with the protection of the marine environment, whilst ensuring its regulatory development process safely anticipates the fast pace of technological change and innovation.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim said:

"This theme would allow us to focus on the full range of safety regulatory implications arising from new and adapted technologies and the introduction of alternative fuels including measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships as IMO strives to ensure the safety and efficiency of shipping are maintained, and potentially improved, so that the flow of seaborne international trade continues to be smooth and efficient."

Safety has been at the heart of all of IMO's activities since the Organization was established in 1948. The regulatory framework is continuously evolving as gaps become apparent and as a result of IMO's proactive work to anticipate changes needed to accommodate emerging technologies and innovation – a prominent example being the currently ongoing development of a goal-based Code for maritime autonomous su***ce ships (MASS Code).

2024 marks 50 years since the adoption of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, the key IMO treaty regulating maritime safety.

Digitalization and automation are increasingly revolutionizing the shipping industry by introducing new technologies that enhance safety, security and efficiency, optimize performance, reduce environmental impact and ensure sustainability.

This is improving the overall efficacy and competitiveness of the shipping industry, making it possible to design, construct and operate ships more efficiently, handle more cargo, reduce costs and enhance customer satisfaction.

Shipping transports about 90% of global trade and is the least environmentally damaging mode of transport. It is manifestly obvious that improving the safety of ships and reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions go hand in hand – both are critical to achieving a sustainable and efficient maritime industry. The theme "Navigating the future: safety first!" promotes IMO's ambitious and accelerated GHG reduction policy which includes the assessment of safety risks, that come with the introduction of new and adapted technologies and alternative fuels, and the development of regulatory measures to address and ultimately mitigate those risks.

The theme is also closely linked to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy by facilitating access to clean energy research and technology; SDG 8 on promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all; SDG 9 on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation; SDG 13 on taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts; and SDG 14 on conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.

The IMO Council, meeting for its 129th session, endorsed the theme following a proposal by IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim.
