One key trend is the increasing focus on sustainability, as ferry operators strive to reduce carbon emissions and comply with stricter environmental laws. This is leading to the adoption of greener technologies, such as hybrid or fully electric ferries, which not only help lower emissions but also attract environmentally conscious passengers.

Another trend is the digital transformation of ferry services.
