The shipping and maritime industry is in the early stages of understanding and applying circular economy principles throughout the lifecycle of ships. The industry is facing major decarbonisation and sustainability efforts, a larger global fleet and an urgent need for more reuse and recycling capacity (SSI, 2BHonest, 2021). These circumstances are the ‘perfect storm’ and thus a great opportunity for the maritime industry to start applying circular principles throughout the lifecycle of every ship, starting from design.
Inspiration Session Circular Ship Design
Earlier this month Circular Flanders, Maritime Campus Antwerp (MCA) and switchrs held an inspiration session on circular ship design.
We challenged the participants to think about the possibilities of circular innovation within the maritime industry.
And this was just the beginning, as a tailor-made skills course will be set up to become a Circular Innovation Manager within your maritime company. This could also be the spark that initiates a longer innovation journey.
