Opportunities in Maritime Resource Efficiency
Jonathan Williams
Why is Resource Efficiency Important for Business?
• Reduces costs & raises profitability– Minimise material used in production– Avoid disposal costs– Meet customers’ green procurement needs
• Creates new business opportunity– New markets for resource efficient operations
and equipment• Adapt existing products/processes• Create radical new solutions
What Kind of Business Opportunities?
• Traditional maritime sectors:– Shipbuilding & repair– Maritime transport– Leisure & tourism– Fisheries
• and their supply chains
• Emerging maritime sectors:– Aquaculture– Renewable energy– Surveillance– Blue biotech
• and their supply chains
