Imagination in 100 Years

4. December 2019 Matthias-Baenziger Step 1 Imagination, Team Transport, TZ19 Zurich, The Horse (0)

Hey!
Today we asked ourselves the question how the maritime transportation in 100 years looks like.

we think the ships are not going to get bigger, because in the ports and canals (Suez and Panama canal) it would be tight for maneuvers. However, we believe that the ships will be using more sustainable fuel. Thus could be dispensed with heavy oils.

 

We could imagine that goods would also change because the world will continue to develop and become more interconnected during this time.

 The fact that the sea level will rise rapidly in the next few years, we can assume that the increased water, new trade routes for shipping arise.

Even the autonomous driving on the oceans could be or become an issue. However, it might be difficult to give the necessary security. When the barges are so alone on the oceans, they are as lost as they are.

Pitching our Project Idea: Maritime Transportation of Food

3. October 2019 Jeannine-Herren Project ideas, Team Transport, TZ19 Zurich (9)

We believe we have found a topic that could be very interesting for an international project. 

When we walk through the aisles in the shops today, we notice that more than half of the products come from abroad. This raises the question: Where do these products come from? And how did they find their way to our shops? We would like to focus our attention on the transport of food by sea.

Check out our video on Vimeo:

Are you interested to work with us on that topic? Then join our team and contact us!

Kind regards,

Matthias and Jeannine from Switzerland (Wetzikon)
