Client Testimonials
“Dr. Tristan Smith and his team have been instrumental in ensuring that our initiatives to identify profitable carbon emission reductions in shipping are grounded in high-quality rigorous science, research and analysis.”

“UMAS research gave substance to our initial assumptions enabling us to transition renewable powered shipping from a technology-only offer into a wider system solution where UMAS’ techno-economic modelling provides the ongoing and solid foundation for realising 21st century industrialised wind-powered ships.”
“Dr Tristan Smith and his team have provided our association with an invaluable and objective insight on the carbon intensity of the Belgian merchant fleet. The dedication of the team to get it right is exemplary”
“The team behind UMAS are great people to work with”
“We have been impressed at Dr. Smith and his team’s ability to not only generate best-in-field research, but also to engage with the private industry to ensure the findings are applied and generate genuine efficiencies in the sector. The ability to improve knowledge transfer between research institutions and the shipping industry is what sets UMAS apart from the field”
