Stringent Emission regulations driving the adoption
The emission control will be effectively enforced in South Korea due to its encouragement of green technologies, which is estimated to drive the market for water buses. South Korea has set strict emission standards for all transportation sectors, including maritime operations, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Such rules further ensure the development and deployment of electric, hybrid, and alternative fuel water buses as the nation remains focused on sustainability and environmental conservation. Besides, air pollution within cities would be reduced, and water ecosystems would be protected. The ecological aspects of eco-friendly water buses are integral to public transportation.

The South Korean government has introduced several initiatives and policies to support this shift. Key urban centers like Busan and Incheon have already started introducing green water buses into urban transit systems to meet emission targets and increase public demand for clean transport options. Further, public-private partnerships have been set up to speed up the development of eco-friendly water bus fleets, with big shipbuilders in South Korea, such as Hyundai Heavy Industries and Samsung Heavy Industries, taking part in designing energy-efficient vessels.
Also, in its Smart City initiatives, which deal with sustainable transportation solutions, South Korea plans to put water buses in multimodal transportation networks for its cities, such as Seoul and Busan. Electric and hydrogen-powered vessels for the ongoing projects in Incheon Bay, which modernize the ports and terminals, are strong proof that the country is acting ahead of time to fulfill its emission regulations.
