'Deep dive on seafarer sustainability: Supporting the opportunity for Africa and women to create a sustainable supply of seafarers for the future', was carried out by the World Maritime University. It highlights that investment in Africa and support for more women to play a significant part in maritime roles provides a viable option in a sustainable future for seafarers.
The question this report addresses is what will be needed to make this happen. It presents a challenge with significant implications for the future of the industry and demands innovative and evidence-based solutions as highlighted in the report’s recommendations.
The Global Maritime Trends programme launched by Lloyd’s Register and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, is a dynamic, multi-year research initiative, designed to provide evidence, insight, and foresight into the major challenges shaping the maritime industry between now and 2050, taking a holistic view of the maritime world, from fishing to offshore wind.
The programme launched in 2023 with the Global Maritime Trends 2050 Report (GMT2050 Report) by Economist Impact, which analyses possible future scenarios for maritime in 2050, based on the speed of technology adoption and the level of global collaboration, to help the industry forecast risks, opportunities, and required investment.
