Our Plan
What goals we aim to achieve in the coming year(s) and the targets we set to achieve them
No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. Experimentation, combined with speed of execution trumps perfect plans filled with all kinds of assumptions. Planning is still essential however in order to determine the targets (and resources) required to achieve the goals. Our plans are thus not to be followed to the letter, but used as a guideline for our organization and to clarify decision making to our crew as well as the rest of the industry. It serves as our compass. Although the exact route might change each time we take a step forward, our North stays the same.
Long term plan
Create an “open-source” virtual twin / marketplace for a ship and fleet a la Spotify / Sim City Maritime
The ultimate goal is to provide shipowners with true sustainability on demand, or ‘Sustainability as a Service’. Our definition of SaaS is to unburden a shipowner fully, providing all services and solutions without having the need to exit the Sustainable Ships platform.
We will be a platform to connect shipowners, technology suppliers and investors. All three will use the same tool and adjust their own parameters, providing validity for both user and supplier. The tool will include near-instant and scalable solutions to decarbonize their vessel and assist in administration (CII/EEXI), comparing investments based on the business case when upcoming rules and regulations are applied. Finally, financing solutions are available to ensure an all-round solution for the shipowner. This will include the possibility of an ‘energy mortgage’, which can be seen as a power purchase agreement for a whole ship.
The whole ecosystem is to be set up like ‘Spotify for sustainability on demand’, where a subscription is paid by users (shipowners or others) to make use of services, an the revenue is divided amongst the crewmates. These are the experts or other ‘artists’ who have contributed to making products or improve the platform generally.
Below are some of the features we are currently considering for this phase. It should be stated that these features do not have to be made, owned or operated by Sustainable Ships. We simply want to create the portal through which these can be brought to market, and provide financial services for them.

When we start with the end in mind and pretend we have infinite resources, we can determine the ultimate steady-state of our organization. In other words, we can determine what we would ultimately want to build.
Taking into account our mission and values, our ultimate goal is to create a place where anyone can make money with sustainability. This is what we call the hub.
