After discussions we decided that we should create a research and development (R & D) department in our company, in order to study the development of some issues, to improve as far as possible the footprint of the ship’s operation both in the general financial data of the shipping company and in the environment.
We have already started and are monitoring very carefully and then we are preparing, as far as possible, a complete analysis of the requirements of the market of ship’s operation but also of the people, who are either active in this market or use it, as recipients of its operation. The results of these analyzes seem to lead us to the design of improved “products”, which are either ships or ship-related services.
