Worldwide transport and logistics have been characterized by supply chain disruptions and container congestion in ports. The question is now how maritime transport can respond to this challenge, as an important element in the worldwide supply chains. But how can this be achieved? One important answer can be more resilience and flexibility but also by a more sustainable and responsible organization of our maritime world, there can be a less disruptive future.

Responsible economic action also includes sustainable maritime transport. The world of shipping is in a transition process towards a cleaner and smarter economy.
