The Global Maritime Issues Monitor lists critical issues impacting the maritime industry, which are existing and potential sources of disruptions.
Digital technologies are becoming increasingly powerful tools as the maritime industry embraces digital transformation and digitalisation.
The maritime ecosystem consists of diverse stakeholders, each playing a vital role in driving growth and innovation in the industry.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Maritime ReDi (Resilience & Digitalisation) develops research insights at the intersection of resilience and digital transformation.
The world cannot escape the turbulent times ahead. But the future for the maritime industry is still bright. If we plan ahead and take the right steps now, we have every chance of continuing to thrive.
Adversity into Opportunity: Staying Ahead in a Troubled World
Previously known as MAritime Digital Efficiency (MADE), Maritime ReDi (Resilience & Digitalisation) is a research programme launched by the NUS Centre for Maritime Studies (CMS) to advance maritime resilience by analysing digitalisation and disruptions, developing scenario-based insights, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration for a robust, future-ready ecosystem.
The Centre focuses on a few research areas, including but not limited to:
- Energy Efficient and Sustainable Shipping
- Human Resource Management
- Safety and Training
