About Future Maritime

We are a micro consultancy with macro ambitions and 20+ years of leadership experience

Sofia

I am the founder and partner of Future Maritime, where I help stakeholders across the maritime space develop sustainability strategies that go beyond decarbonisation. I am an analyst at the core, and use my skills as a facilitator to create common ground for fact-based decision-making.

My experience as a maritime professional spans 15+ years and includes projects linked to energy transition, port infrastructure development, and stakeholder collaboration.

Conor

I joined Future Maritime as a partner in 2019 with the ambition to drive a positive change in the industry.

I enjoy engaging with leadership across all levels within maritime organisations, and draw on my my 20+ years of experience in maritime corporate, both on- or offshore.

What I’m most passionate about, and what drives my work at Future Maritime is positioning sustainability in this wide, organisational maritime context.

Our approach to Sustainability

There is an urgent need to improve sustainability in the maritime industry.

Our holistic approach considers economic development, social development, and environmental protection as interdependent, yet mutually reinforcing components.

Learn more about how we approach key aspects of maritime sustainability below.

White Paper: Holistic approach to maritime sustainability

Our white paper explores how a holistic approach to sustainability can help the maritime industry navigate complex challenges while building future resilience

Our mission

Our mission is to build long term resilience across the maritime industry through holistic sustainability strategies and sector collaborations.

In the maritime industry, impact-driven business models, such as B-Corp, remain rare. While success is still largely measured through commercial performance, the growing urgency of sustainability challenges are putting industries' future resilience under pressure.

We do not believe the industry can transform overnight. Meaningful progress requires a gradual shift towards centering sustainability in core strategies, building internal capacities, and engaging in collaborations across the sector. Our role is to support maritime stakeholders in navigating this transition through strategy work and though leadership.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see a maritime industry providing a fully sustainable service and deploying its critical position to be a catalyst for sustainability globally.

Our partners

We partner with purpose driven leaders and organisations who are looking to move beyond regulatory compliance and ESG-reporting to embed sustainability into core strategy.

Our Story

Our journey starts in 2019 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

After long careers in maritime corporate, we were both curious about starting something on our own. We saw a need for clearer focus, a more structured roadmap and much less noise.

We are husband and wife, but it wasn’t obvious that we would start our own consultancy together. We come with very different perspectives - Sofia with a more theoretical approach, and Conor with a more commercial and operational point of entry. It turned out that was our golden combination to work as a team.

So we decided to use our combined 35+ years of corporate experience to support the transition towards a more resilient and sustainable maritime industry. The thing is, we also have a lot of fun pursuing this ambition. Together. 

In 2021, we made the decision to move to Bromölla, and registered our company in Sweden. And that is how our mission of creating a fully sustainable maritime service continues.
