Ships can be platforms to gather climate data as offsets, says futurist

Ships can be used as platforms to gather climate-related data from oceans with that knowledge being used to offset against carbon emissions, maritime futurist KD Adamson suggested at a London International Shipping Week (LISW) event.

The idea of “ships as platforms of opportunity” has been raised at the World Ocean Council, Adamson said at the OneWeb LISW Talk Show event ‘Shaping a new vision for accelerating ESG strategies in shipping’.
