CREATING A BETTER MARITIME WORLD
THE MISSION
At the Center for Sustainable Shipbuilding (CSSB), we are driven by a single, overarching goal: Creating a better maritime world. Our mission is rooted in the principles of sustainability, innovation, and collaboration. In a world where maritime transport accounts for approximately 80% of global trade, the importance of sustainable practices cannot be overstated. Our seas and oceans are vital ecosystems that must be protected from pollution and exploitation.
The maritime shipping industry, responsible for a significant 6.7% of worldwide oil consumption, has a critical role to play in safeguarding our planet’s future. At CSSB, we are committed to leading the charge towards a truly sustainable maritime industry. By bringing together the best minds, the latest technologies, and a shared commitment to excellence, we are laying the groundwork for a future where the seas are cleaner, maritime trade is more efficient, and our shared maritime heritage is celebrated and preserved.
Join us on this exciting journey as we work together to create a brighter, more sustainable future for the maritime world.”
