Summary
The Atlantic Ocean is a crucial area for shipping and serves as a gateway to Europe. More and more goods and ships are expected to pass through this region in the coming decades. While this increase in transportation is good for trade, it also means a greater impact on the environment due to maritime transport. To address this, the SaferSEA project aims to make everyone aware of the challenges faced by the shipping industry.
The project's main goal is to help create a safer and more eco-friendly maritime sector. They want to provide ready-made solutions to support the industry in becoming more environmentally friendly. SaferSEA plans to encourage the development of new technologies for both ships and ports, and build stronger connections between different groups involved in shipping – like shipowners, port authorities, researchers, and innovative startups. The overall aim is to help the maritime sector transition to a more environmentally conscious and sustainable future.
