Our Vision

  • The maritime transport sector should contribute to the EU’s climate ambitions in becoming the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Our vision is to facilitate the shift in maritime transport and to contribute to a low impact, sustainable and desirable society. Next to the initiatives at sea, our aim is also to show that inland transport under sail is possible.
