Although container shipping capacity remains in short supply, there is no shortage of forecasts for what 2022 holds for the sector and those that rely on its services.
Challenged with reducing greenhouse gas emissions, shipping is entering a transformational period, currently led more by the industry than by regulators.

The climate is changing and increasingly so towards more extreme weather events. It necessitates greater awareness of weather-related risks in the global supply chain.

Innovation is about qualitative change, the much-needed novelty and originality that pushes organisations, markets, and agendas forward. Concepts and processes (of technical or other nature) replace the status quo, bringing about progress.
At ZeroNorth, we have recently integrated a new service into our platform to provide ship operators with the voyage insights they need to analyse, forecast, and proactively strive for their Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) goals.
