Innovation didn’t start with us. And it won’t end with us either.
The @marine_zero team is proud to be part of a global community of maritime innovators, applying our creative, technical, and engineering expertise to rethink how we power vessels and ports on the journey to zero emissions.
But innovation isn’t just about what is happening right now. It doesn’t belong to a single era, or to one product or technology. It is not a one-off event. Innovation is a mindset – an ongoing continuum. One that builds on the achievements, infrastructure, and legacy of those who came before.
And for those of us working in maritime today, this is just our chapter within that story.
That’s one reason why we’re delighted to be involved in Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures (MHMF) – a skills programme led by the education team at The Danny.
Built in Birkenhead in 1903, SS Daniel Adamson is a powerful reminder of what ‘cutting edge’ in maritime once looked like. Her steam boiler was, in its time, at the forefront of engineering and power generation – just as new alternative fuel solutions are today.
Through the MHMF skills programme, The Danny has become a living classroom – continuing to shape what comes next. As part of the programme, our communications lead, @mcwattlou , visited the Museum of Liverpool to speak with business and marketing students from @crontoncoll. They discussed the importance of maritime and decarbonisation, and looked at the breadth of opportunities across the sector – not just in STEM, but in business, marketing and communications too.
Maritime innovation didn’t start with emissions targets, digitisation, or alternative fuels. But its future will depend on the interest, skills, and ambition of the next generation – and that starts with showing them how exciting ‘what comes next’ really is.
As part of our involvement with MHMF, Louise set the students a challenge: to develop a marketing campaign for maritime decarbonisation, designed to engage their peers with the power and potential of careers in our sector.
The MHMF programme is doing important work, and we’re grateful to The Danny’s learning and participation manager, Cathriona Bourke, for inviting us to be part of it. We look forward to seeing the students’ ideas come to life later this year.
