Shipping has a long history of regulatory interventions to protect the environment, from the London Convention to MARPOL, through the Ballast Water Convention, and now the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).

All these initiatives involve data collection. In most cases, however, these data sets are stored on paper, in spreadsheets, or lurk elsewhere in the email box: all inaccessible, siloed, unsecured locations where the gathered information adds no value and serves no purpose beyond compliance.

We can deliver a step-change in mitigating shipping's environmental impact - likewise, better its social responsibility & governance - if we break data silos and share information more seamlessly along the value chain.
