Innovating waterborne transportation
25037
TML conducted a European study that explores how innovation can support a greener, more competitive waterborne transport sector. TML led the analysis of remote navigation, energy conversion, and storage technologies, and coordinated the technical and market assessments.
Together with Ramboll, the University of Antwerp, and DST, TML worked on a new European study to explore how innovation can drive the future of waterborne transport—both maritime and inland navigation. The aim was twofold: to help decarbonise the sector while also boosting Europe’s competitiveness, strategic autonomy, and economic security. The study assessed how current and emerging technologies can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient waterborne sector.
A wide array of technology groups were explored, including:
For each, the study conducted a comprehensive SWOT analysis, looking at everything from lifecycle and market dynamics to supply chains, know-how, human capital, and intellectual property. The end goal: a detailed picture of Europe’s industrial capacity and innovation potential in this strategic sector.
TML took the lead on three technology areas: remote-controlled and autonomous navigation, energy conversion systems, and energy storage solutions. We also coordinated the technical and market analyses across all technology groups.
