Main Topic
Transforming the maritime economy: Who finances it?
According to the “Economic Costs of Climate Change” study, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Germany could face costs of up to 900 billion euros by the middle of the century. There are a wide range of reasons for this, including product and raw material supply bottlenecks, damage to buildings and infrastructure and the implementation of environmental and climate protection measures. The industry is tackling the latter challenge in very different ways, including with subsidies.
ALL in the MIX
In recent years, logistics and the maritime industry have launched countless activities that are either sustainable or designed to combat climate change. Ten such projects from the ports of Bremen and Lower Saxony demonstrate the focus by those responsible on a wide range of alternative solutions, charting the course for future generations to do the same.
A question of perspective

Why trucks should meet more often
Start-up MANSIO plans to reinvent road transport with the help of AI. Longer transport routes are divided into legs on which regional transport companies operate and work together in a network with relay transports. Semi-trailers are handed over to the next driver at the relay locations. This is intended to solve numerous issues at once.
More coordination and fewer emissions
Through the “Digital Weser” project, a shared platform will be developed to improve management of ship calls over the distance of the 35 river kilometres to the North Sea.
BLG sets sustainability milestone
The C3 Bremen is not only a logistics centre, it is also a groundbreaking project that sets high standards in environmental protection and equipment. Consequently, it serves as a blueprint for the future design of logistics properties.
