Step 7: Promotion of our Project

Hy together!

Did you know that there are new laws in the world of the ship transportation:

Then: In a new regulation, the International Maritime Organization (a specialized agency of the United Nations) has determined that from 1 January 2020 the sulphur content of ship exhaust gases may only be 0.5 percent.

So the world is from now on a little bit more sutainable.

Project planning / Step 4: Shape and create

Since we already promoted our idea with a small film at the beginning of the school project, we wanted to work with films in the main project as well. In a simple learning video we wanted to explain in a simple way what the challenges in shipping are.

The first thing we thought about was, which 3 challenges come first. So it was possible for us to split up and collect each of us on the various challenges on the Internet. After the text was written, we created the appropriate videos.

On the Internet, we searched for suitable programs in the field of animated films that can be used free of charge. We chose the "Animaker" website. First we had to get to know the program and understand how to use it. Since not all applications within the program are free, we had to be creative. The time per film was also limited to 2 minutes. So we had to limit ourselves in terms of content and bring only the most important facts.

So that the educational films had an appealing background music, we searched the internet for music that could be used free of charge. We were able to find the right pieces of music on Bensound and mentioned the source accordingly in the films.

We wanted to reproduce the interviews as we had conducted them with the two companies. We therefore decided to make the interviews available in PDF form in English and German at the end of the article.

Step 5 - Reflexion

Reflexion

The project gave us the opportunity to see ship transport from another side. We were initially impressed by the size of the ships and the amount of cargo on the ship. 

It was very interesting to see what difficulties arise in shipping. It is astonishing how much attention has to be paid so that the ship can get safely from A to B. 

Fortunately, we were able to count on two very friendly companies who stood by our side and answered questions about less or more critical issues without any problems.
We noticed how important the ship is in the transport chain. Without this ingenious invention, fewer people in the world could benefit from globalization. It is an elementary part of human care.

Team Transportation: Propagation

 
 Hey!
 

Did you know that every day for the satisfaction of our needs about 6000 cargo ships are on the way? With them, goods can be transported from A to B in a targeted manner. In addition, about 20,000 containers can be shipped per ship. They are fundamental to today's globalization. On this link you can watch the ships live on a radar.

 

 
Do you know what the biggest difficulties in cargo shipping are? What do you know about the sustainability of products in overseas transport? Do you also know how many containers are lifted and moved every day only in the port of Rotterdam? Do you know what position shipping in the world takes?

Reflexion of today

Hey!

Here is the post of the goals of today.

Today we will tackle the following tasks:

- writing of our article "ready for publish" (dontwastemyenergy.com)

- get the feedback from our teacher, Ms. Suter
- plan the next steps

We made a big step in writing our text from dontwastemyenergy.com. Futhermore we got our feedback.

In conclusion I note here what the next steps are.

- Finish our text
- Finish the secret movie
- Find the challanges of sustanability in maritime transportatiion
