Description
Massive growth in global GDP brings big opportunities to the marine industry, and world trade continues to rise in conformity with economic expansion. Maritime is at a historic crossroads on the way towards digitalisation, while also facing major sustainability and decarbonisation changes. Growth in the world economy results in concern for environmental impact due to marine activities. New environmental regulations are some of the greatest challenges that all marine sectors will face in the forthcoming years.
To make our challenges feasible, enhancing maritime safety should be a high priority always. The activities, in seas and the oceans, are perhaps one of the most dangerous and the most international of all the world's great industries. The coming years are crucial in finding sustainable and commercial solutions that enable us to have safer carbon-neutral vessels for the future. The shipping industry faces an uncertain future, nevertheless, there will be many opportunities. Advances in technology will be the keys to meeting the growing demand, therefore innovative cooperation between academia and industry is significant to achieve our goals.
