Om oss

We are 7 partners participating in SUDEMAR project. We are all involved in one way or another in the maritime industry and we are aware of the importance of sustainable development in our industry. We want to help the industry to achieve the sustainable development goals.

Thanks to Erasmus+ programme we are able to produce and maintain the products we believe are beneficial for the achievement of SDGs in the maritime industry.

We are addressing all SDGs although there is no particular SDG explicitly addressing the maritime sector and maritime sector is focused mostly only on caring for the environment.
