Our Cooperations

Academic Collaborators

Through EU-InnoWaTr and EU-WASP projects, we've worked closely with:
These partnerships ensure HHX.blue uses validated methodology and incorporate latest research—while staying practical for daily use.

How We Work

  • For routine analysis: Use SeaCheck. Fast, free, professional output. You work directly with the tools we built.
  • For complex advisory: Work with us at HHX.blue. You talk directly to Orestis or Olaf, not junior analysts. We bring in specialists from our network only when needed for your specific situation.
  • For EU projects and research: We collaborate with academic institutions and maritime operators. This feeds back into improving HHX.blue activities and keeping our expert work current with latest developments.

Why Small Works

Big consultancies have impressive org charts. They also have layers of junior people, high overhead, and slow decision-making.

We're few people with 60+ years combined experience and a network of specialists we activate when needed. You get:

  • Direct access to decision-makers
  • No paying for junior analysts learning on your project
  • Faster responses
  • Lower costs
  • Personal relationships, not client numbers

For SeaCheck tools: You get the analytical capability of a full team, available 24/7, for free.
For HHX.blue advisory: You get senior-level expertise from day one, not passed to associates.
That's the advantage of small.
