Challenges: Marine & offshore the century of the sea

The oceans are playing a vital role in globalization of the world’s economy, making this century the most maritime-focused in history.

Today, with 90% of the world’s merchandise transported by sea, totalling €1,500 billion in revenuesThe flow of shipments increased five-fold in the past 30 years, and will double again by 2020

Besides these economic stakes, the sea is the earth’s future, especially in areas such as energy, food, pharmacology, and mineral resources available deep in the oceansToday, only 10% of the ocean’s flora and fauna and 5% of underwater soils have been discovered.

But humans are dumping 6 million tons of garbage in the Earth’s waters every year, and plastic waste that totals billions in the Mediterranean sea alone – of which 80% originates from individuals²– environmental protection is clearly an essential concern.
