Sustainable Goals and a Workforce Shortage in 2024

Each year, the Maritime Monitor is published, sharing the most relevant economic and labor market figures of the year. For Smart-Ship, this is a valuable moment to gain insight into the current state of the maritime sector. 💡

At Smart-Ship, we aim to contribute to a greener maritime future and help address the significant workforce shortage currently affecting the industry. Based on the report, there are several areas where Smart-Ship can make an impact:

  • ♻️ Wind-assisted systems and hybrid technologies, particularly in coastal shipping, are achieving fuel savings of 7-10%.
  •  ⬇️ Target: 30% CO₂ reduction by 2030. Achieving this will require substantial investments in new technologies.
  • ⚡ Electrification of vessels, especially in inland shipping, is an emerging trend.
  • 👥 The sector is facing a growing workforce shortage, both at sea and onshore.

 

Smart-Ship can play a significant role in these areas by making your operations more efficient, both by helping to green the fleet through the installation of our levers and dashboard and by mitigating the workforce shortage through remote operations support (e.g., our Seafar use case).
