Scenarios, risks and opportunities of digital solutions in transition towards green and sustainable marine logistics

Description of the granted funding

Digital smart concepts and services are claimed to have a significant role in introducing cleaner, safer, and more efficient logistics. Putting new devices and tools into operation by numerous actors in different parts of the operational environment may, however, increase the risk of technical issues and human errors. Focus of the green transition is in reducing GHG emissions, but to ensure the sustainability of the transition, it is important to also work proactively on identifying the potential risks the new digital solutions can create. Acknowledging this, GYROSCOPE aims, through participatory processes and modern risk analytical methods, to produce a comprehensive picture of sustainable transition to low-carbon marine logistics in Finland, and potential pathways to achieve it. GYROSCOPE aims to understand the nature and preconditions of sustainable green transition in general, as well as the development picture of the digitalisation as part of it.
