Digital Legal Sustainability Benchmark for the Maritime Industry

In collaboration with IT company Delaware our student team developed in 16 weeks a digital tool, a "pogress bench mark' to support Maritime Companies in a check regarding how compliant they are with new and complex sustainability legislation. Why? The maritime sector is responsible for around 90% of the world's trade, and the shipping sector alone generates an estimated $500 billion in revenue annually. In 2018, the global shipping industry was responsible for 2.9% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is a significant amount and clearly needs to be cut to create a future for the maritime industry.
