UMAS is a sector focussed, commercial advisory service that draws upon the world leading research of the UCL Shipping Team combined with the advisory and management system expertise of MATRANS.
We are the largest university based consultancy on energy and environment matters related to shipping with over 50 years collective experience on this subject.
UMAS undertakes research using models of the shipping system, shipping big data (including satellite Automatic Identification System data), and qualitative and social science analysis of the policy and commercial structure of the shipping system. Research and consultancy is centred on understanding patterns of energy demand in shipping and how this knowledge can be applied to help shipping transition to a low-carbon future. UMAS is world-leading on two key areas; using big data to understand trends and drivers of shipping energy demand or emissions and using models to explore what-ifs for future markets and policies.
