Not-for-profit shipping pressure group Global Maritime Forum (GMF) was nearly overwhelmed by the response to its latest essay writing competition for students and young professionals.
The organisation posed the question: over the next decade, how can the maritime sector continue to contribute to realising the Sustainable Development Goals?
A total of 101 essays were received from 37 countries, covering climate change, ocean health, ship recycling, the circular economy, inclusive growth, the well-being of seafarers and diversity in the workforce.
