Towards Sustainability in Shipping and Shipbuilding

EXOPRODIGI project’s final event “Charting the Course for Sustainability – Baltic Sea region as a front-runner in clean shipping and shipbuilding” was organised online on Tuesday, the 21st of September 2021. The event focused on sustainable shipping and shipbuilding in the Baltic Sea region and the ways digital technologies can be utilised for the benefit of eco-efficient maritime industry. The webinar gave EXOPRODIGI partners an excellent opportunity to share lessons learned and findings of the work done during the past nine months with the wider audience. In addition, the event provided the audience with interesting insight into the outlook of sustainable shipping and shipbuilding, the progress that has been made as well as the challenges still remaining in the Baltic Sea region and beyond.

We would like to thank all the participants of the webinar for their interest in the event! Extra-special thank you to our excellent moderator Dr. Michele Acciaro (Associate Professor of Maritime Logistics & Director, Hapag-Lloyd Center for Shipping and Global Logistics at the Kühne Logistics University) and the thought-provoking keynote speakers Jaap Gebraad (Executive Director, Waterborne Technology Platform) and Markus Helavuori (Professional Secretary, HELCOM Secretariat). Similarly, we would like to thank the panellists Andrius Sutnikas (Development Manager, Klaipeda Science and Technology Park), Elisa Mikkolainen (Project Director, Maritime Affairs, BSAG Baltic Sea Action Group), Johanna Yliskylä-Peuralahti (Project Manager, University of Turku, Centre for Maritime Studies) and Valdemar Ehlers (Technical Director, Danish Maritime) for their valuable time and contribution.
