本論文は、海運業の脱炭素化に伴う船員の役割の二重変革（伝統的労働からデジタル・知的技術へ、船上業務から陸上協働へ）と、それに伴う保護欠陥（代替燃料の複雑化、安全リスク、規制の断片化による法的責任の増大）を分析する。公正な移行原則に基づき、固定航路運航、専門訓練、刑事責任の慎重な適用などの提案を行う。
English
This paper analyzes the dual transformation of seafarers' roles in shipping decarbonization (from traditional labor to digital technologies, and from onboard to shore cooperation) and associated protection deficits (complex alternative fuels, safety risks, fragmented regulations increasing legal liability). It advocates for the Just Transition principle, proposing fixed-route operations, specialized training, and cautious application of criminal liability.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は海運大国であり、船員の保護と公正な移行は日本の海運政策や労働環境に直接関係する。SSBJや有報では直接扱われないが、IMO規制対応やESG投資家の要求に影響を与える可能性がある。
In the global GX context
Globally, shipping decarbonization is a key focus under IMO regulations. This paper addresses the workforce dimension, which is often overlooked in disclosure frameworks like TCFD/ISSB that focus on emissions. It provides insights for just transition policies and corporate human capital management.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a framework for analyzing workforce transitions in decarbonization, relevant for energy justice and just transition scholarship.
🏢実務担当者:Shipping companies can use the proposed measures to mitigate operational and liability risks while supporting crew welfare.
🏛政策担当者:Offers guidance for IMO and national regulators on incorporating just transition principles into shipping decarbonization rules.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The shipping industry is undergoing a critical phase of green transition, in which seafarers constitute the core driving force of decarbonization. As this transition deepens, seafarers’ roles are undergoing a dual transformation: from reliance on traditional mechanical labor to functions empowered by digital and intelligent technologies, and from exclusively shipboard operations to integrated cooperation with shore-based control and support. However, seafarers are confronted with multiple protection deficits throughout the green transition, with issues of energy justice becoming increasingly prominent. Specifically, complex combinations of alternative fuels intensify seafarers’ operational burdens, safety risks associated with clean fuels threaten their physical and mental health, and the fragmented landscape of global emissions regulations significantly heightens their exposure to legal liability. In response, this paper advocates for the Just Transition principle as the guiding framework: adopting fixed-route operation models to alleviate seafarers’ fuel-handling pressures, implementing specialized training schemes to mitigate health risks, and promoting a cautious application of criminal liability and reasonable exemptions for seafarers within evolving decarbonization-related liability regimes. This paper provides a valuable contribution to advancing the global shipping decarbonization process while balancing environmental sustainability with the protection of seafarers’ rights and interests.
