Part of a new industry series Shipping the Future™: Climate Business Intelligence™ For The Maritime Industry
Shortcomings of Traditional Hazard Maps and Scenario Tools
Traditional hazard maps and scenario tools only provide a static and often overly simplified view of risk. Floodplain maps might display exposure zones but fail to account for dynamic factors such as storm surge during future sea-level rise or compound hazards like heat and flooding occurring together. Basic scenario planning tools typically operate at regional or national levels, offering limited detail for asset-specific decisions. For the maritime industry, where just a few centimeters of sea-level rise or a few hours of downtime can disrupt billions in trade, such coarse models offer minimal actionable insights.
The clear result is that current methods cause operators to respond to risks only after they happen, instead of preparing for them in advance. To safeguard global shipping and port infrastructure amid a changing climate, the industry needs a major change in risk intelligence—one that is proactive, integrated, and accurate at the asset level. This change underpins Climate Business Intelligence™.
Enter Climate Business Intelligence™
The maritime industry has reached a point where traditional climate analytics and historical benchmarks no longer offer the foresight needed for resilience. To handle the uncertainties of a rapidly changing climate, a new level of intelligence is required, one that combines advanced science, cutting-edge computing, and asset-level accuracy. This forms the basis of Climate Business Intelligence™, an integrated approach that goes beyond standard risk models and provides maritime stakeholders with actionable insights.
Beyond Standard Analytics
Unlike traditional tools that provide static maps or regional forecasts, Climate Business Intelligence™ offers dynamic, forward-looking insights. It merges physical, financial, and systemic risks into a single framework, giving operators, insurers, and regulators the visibility needed to anticipate disruptions before they happen. Instead of just describing past events, it forecasts what is likely to occur under multiple future scenarios, empowering decision-makers to plan strategically rather than react to crises.
