Ocean data non-profit
HUB Ocean is a non-profit, technological foundation that is dedicated to unlocking and sharing ocean
data. Established in 2019, it is the first thematic centre dedicated to the ocean.
In May of 2021, HUB Ocean and Mercuria announced an important strategic partnership.
Established in 2019 by the Aker Group and the World Economic Forum network of Fourth
Industrial Revolution Centres worldwide, HUB Ocean is the first thematic Centre dedicated to the
ocean.
Companies rarely share their emission data beyond the minimum required by regulation, which
varies all over the world. This makes it challenging to calculate the emissions of the world fleet.
Mercuria took an important step forward as a progressive industry player by increasing
transparency of its shipping data and sharing it with the HUB Ocean’ss flagship project Ocean
Data Platform.
Why a partnership with HUB Ocean?
We believe that facts and data will provide ocean industries, research institutions, and nations the
insight needed for improved decision-making. That is why we are dedicated to the sharing of
ocean data.
Through our core product, the Ocean Data Platform, you can aggregate unprecedented volumes
of diverse ocean data sets. The Ocean Data Platform itself is a global, open-source and integrated
digital data ecosystem providing new and faster insight for the ocean we need and want.
But connecting the technological dots is not enough unless you connect people too; the scientists,
the ocean managers, and the industry leaders. We bridge the divide by catalyzing innovation
through combined data across all sectors. So, there you have it; HUB Ocean unleashes the power
of data, technology, and people to change the fate of the ocean.
This partnership will bring about many synergies by combining Mercuria’s expertise in the global
maritime industry with HUB Ocean’s expertise as an international provider of market-leading
ocean and maritime technological solutions.
