“…In the fi rst of two studies examining shipyard processes from a life-cycle perspective, the environmental impacts of steel shipbuilding and recycling were evaluated. The study concluded that the shipbuilding process accounts for 85% of the total impacts, and the life cycle assessment method is recommended as an important approach in the evaluation of shipyard processes [23]. In the second study, the environmental impacts of the shipyard processes for yachts made of aluminium and steel were evaluated from a life cycle perspective.…”

Shipyards are the place where the life cycle of a ship begins and ends. The life cycle of a ship, which starts with painting, blasting, and welding processes during the construction, is completed with the recycling of the steel parts and other equipment after the ship is scrapped. In this study, the harmful waste generated during the construction and recycling of ships in the shipyard and the environmental damage caused by this waste were investigated through a literature analysis. The content, implementation procedures and development processes of the relevant regulations are also examined. To fully evaluate the cumulative and holistic environmental impacts of shipyard processes, it is recommended to make greater use of the life cycle assessment approach. In this way, it will be possible to determine which process is more environmentally harmful during the shipbuilding, operation, and recycling phases, and to accurately determine the overall impact.

“…In this context, the studies conducted can be of a general nature, like those that will be analyzed in this review, but also very specific, addressing the impact of particular activities, such as the impact of fishing [22][23][24] and of fishing-specific fish species, such as tuna [25], bluefish [24,26,27], and others [28][29][30], through an LCA. Other studies focus on the manufacturing methods of boats [31,32] and the materials used [33].…”

The naval sector holds paramount importance for the global economy, yet it entails significant environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of ships. This review explores the application of life-cycle assessment (LCA) in the naval sector, a methodology for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with all the life stages of a product or service. LCA analysis in the naval context is essential for identifying and mitigating environmental impacts, thus promoting more sustainable development of the sector. This work provides a comprehensive overview of current LCA applications in the naval sector, highlighting major environmental impacts, in particular focusing on greenhouse-gas emissions and climate change. Additionally, this study integrates an analysis of greenhouse-gas emissions using a normalization approach, which has enabled the comparison of various types of fuels and ships, thereby enhancing our understanding of their environmental impacts. Moreover, the limits and challenges to applying LCA in the naval sector are discussed, offering insights for future research and developments in the field. This review aims to raise awareness among policymakers, designers, and operators in the naval sector about the importance of adopting LCA for more sustainable and responsible management of naval activities, thereby contributing to the protection of the marine and global environment.

“…Different environmental policies should be established for the shipbuilding, operations, and ship recycling subsectors, considering the entire industry [ 1 ]. The literature on evaluating and reducing the environmental impacts caused by the fuel consumption of actively operating ships contains a wealth of resources [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] ].…”
