The synergy created when shipyards, tech providers, and maritime consultants unite their diverse expertise leads to solutions that surpass what any single entity could achieve independently. We have witnessed this phenomenon firsthand across numerous projects. Time and again, the combined efforts of various stakeholders have sparked innovations and breakthroughs that seemed unattainable at the outset. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of collaborative problem-solving, especially when tackling the complex challenges of maritime sustainability. We curious about your collaborative experiences. Who are your go-to partners for driving innovation in this space? Let's start a conversation about how we might work together to push the boundaries of sustainable maritime practices. Together, we can chart a course towards a greener, more sustainable future for our seas. #SustainableShipping #GreenMaritimeSolutions #CollaborateForChange #EcoFriendlyShipping #MaritimeInnovation #GreenTechPartners #BlueEconomy #FutureOfShipping #CleanSeas #SustainableMaritime

Great to see #circularity is becoming part of the #sustainablemaritimefuture dialogue between shipowners, financiers and stakeholders at the Mare Forum! The way we deal with (scarce) raw materials is not only essential for a #futureproof maritime sector from an autonomy point of view, it is also the way to increase our European competitiveness. Curious how? Check out our joint exploration with BlueCity (010) on Circular Opportunities for Maritime. At the Mare Forum we only scratched the surface as far as circularity goes, yet it became clear that for true #circular steps and a #sustainablemaritimefuture we need new business models, new ways of financing and especially close collaboration with both value chain partners as well as stakeholders. Looking forward to continuing the discussion! 🚀 Annet Koster Ann-Christin Stucke Dewi Wesselman Katalin Dobránszky-Bartus, PhD Marina Tzoutzouraki Renze Boersema KVNR | Royal Association of Netherlands Shipowners NMT | Netherlands Maritime Technology SEA Europe CirclesOfLife Nederland Maritiem Land Maritime Sisters Sylvia Boer Sabine Biesheuvel #bluesisters
