Trade organization Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) is a close-knit network of Dutch shipyards, suppliers and service providers who work together in all locations and conditions. In the field of maritime technology, these companies – large and small – aim to lead the way in the quest for new challenges and solutions.
NMT connects, represents and strengthens the maritime manufacturing industry of the Netherlands. Members’ interests are best served from a strong, strategic sector. NMT provides shipbuilders, maritime suppliers and service providers with an inspiring network, in which mutual contact and knowledge development are important returns. The network is supported with a sophisticated program of matchmaking, seminars, trainings and publications.
With numerous international trade fairs, trade missions and strategic PR, innovation project NMT helps its members create and exploit economic opportunities. Dutch maritime branding in optima forma. To build international competitiveness, innovation is key. Besides sector-specific themes and market intelligence, NMT also – and in cooperation with other maritime organizations – focuses on complex challenges such as digitalization, energy transition, circularity and the influx of sufficient professionals.
What is the role of NMT in the project?
The main goal from NMT in this project is to involve all parties: shipyards, suppliers, and other stakeholders. NMT is responsible for the communication, dissemination and development of trainings and workshops within the program. Stakeholders are approached who we believe would benefit from integrating Circles of Life into their vision and operations. It’s important that all chain parties are involved throughout the entire lifecycle of a ship, because the goal is for all parties in the chain to use the Ship Lifecycle Passport (SLP) and the Shipyard Environmental Performance Index (SEPI). Ultimately, all the materials and components must be mapped out throughout the entire process from design to dismantling. This makes recycling much easier and brings circular construction closer.
