	abstract = {The rapid transition of the maritime sector toward emission-reduction goals set by international regulators leads to increasing pressure on the industry. Within this context, the present study aims to explore the potential impact of green technologies and strategies (GT&S) on voyage planning, a core process governed by IMO provisions, central to ensuring safe and sustainable navigation. The analysis highlighted current research gaps and proposed insights for future studies, with the aim of supporting the ongoing effort toward maritime decarbonization. In order to explore how GT&S may influence voyage planning, a targeted literature survey has been conducted. The selected contributions were grouped into six categories reflecting current technological and operational trends. Then, their potential impact on the components of voyage planning was assessed from a qualitative perspective. The survey suggests that all components are likely to be affected, introducing challenges which have been explored. The fact that most scholarly efforts appear to be primarily directed toward GT&S enabling short and medium-term sustainability reveals future research opportunities that cannot overlook the specificities of the shipping segment examined. The human element, in particular the role of masters and relevant stakeholders, also emerges as pivotal in managing this transition, supporting the need for further research focused on onboard operators.},
