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
