Main Topic
En route to a new order
The world is in flux – things we once understood to be true are now different. But how are developments as diverse as the post-pandemic boom in new builds, piracy in the Red Sea and China’s geopolitical aims affecting the maritime economy? And how do all these puzzle pieces fit together?
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.
Global situation accelerates rethinking processes
The pace at which changes in society and technology are influencing the working environment is accelerating.

Point of View
Digitalisation
Digital coffee
Coffee logistics has been the bread and butter of the long-standing Vollers company in Bremen for more than 90 years. But digital services such as a digital marketplace and, more recently, a global auction platform and its corresponding interfaces have become increasingly important.
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.

Low-pressure system Bernd caused extensive damage
Global warming has been causing more and more natural disasters over the years, resulting in insurers and reinsurers facing mounting costs. As a result of this development, Allianz – a German multinational financial services company – is increasingly focussing on risk advice as well as on a more appropriate distribution of costs.
Green pioneer
EKB Container Logistik is a company often referred to in the industry as the “Greens”. This is not only because the company logo is green but also due to the climate and environmental protection concept they implement in their day-to-day business.
