Co-Creation of New Data Solutions in Focus as HUB Ocean and the Center Join Forces
HUB Ocean and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (the Center) formalized their collaboration by signing a Knowledge Partnership Agreement.
HUB Ocean is an independent, non-profit tech foundation which invests considerable resources into unlocking ocean data. Its flagship product, the Ocean Data Platform, aggregates big ocean data from multiple sources. This accelerates the creation of new analytical models for deeper insight into sustainable solutions for ocean use, such as renewable energy, green transportation and science-based ocean management.
Combined with the Center’s ongoing work and expertise in designing green corridors, the partnership has the potential to ignite real climate action.
In welcoming HUB Ocean to the Center, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO of the Center, said:
“This is a great addition to the Center’s eco-system of partners. The collaboration between HUB Ocean and the Center will co-create new data-based solutions that can help promote and accelerate the sustainable decarbonization of shipping. HUB Ocean has vast amounts of data and solutions on its Ocean Data Platform, and this partnership brings plenty of opportunities for activities of mutual benefit,” said Bo Cerup-Simonsen.
In welcoming the Center to the HUB Ocean Partner Network, Kimberly Mathisen, CEO of HUB Ocean, said:
“We are very excited to partner with the world’s first mover, the Center, in its strong push to decarbonize shipping. We look forward to contributing to create new analytical models to speed up the critical work on green corridors and deliver insights on other vital aspects of biodiversity and nature. Together, we will further our aim to create a science-led and data-driven world – and a healthy ocean that can sustain us all,“ said Kimberly Mathisen.
