Current Challenges
Global shipping is facing major challenges. In addition to strong fluctuations in capacity utilization, exacerbated by disruptions in the supply chains, the requirements for climate protection and the reduction of the CO2 footprint are increasing. In turn, disrupted supply chains also affect the punctual supply of ships with personnel as well as maintenance and spare parts. And the digitalization of many processes presents shipping companies, ship management companies and training and further education institutions with the decision of which solutions are most relevant to their own business model.
