From Ship to Shore: Scaling Maritime Climate-Tech Through Digital Innovation

What if environmental responsibility could become a competitive advantage for the global maritime industry? SeaSustain is building a digital ecosystem designed to connect maritime operations, environmental compliance, resource efficiency and financial value creation. By bringing together ships, ports, waste operators and environmental markets, its long-term vision is to transform fragmented environmental data into actionable intelligence that reduces operational costs, manages regulatory risks and unlocks new economic opportunities. Developed from over a decade of real maritime operations by Mexico's Maritime Procurement Services (MPS), and selected for Singapore's PIER71 Smart Port Challenge 2026, SeaSustain demonstrates how climate innovation can emerge from real industry challenges. This showcase explores how digital infrastructure can enable a more efficient, circular and financially sustainable maritime economy, and the international partnerships needed to scale it.
