GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Dec. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
This spring, Concordia Maritime started a collaboration with
the non-profit organization Keep Sweden Tidy, and during the autumn
we organized a coastal cleanup operation in Gothenburg. Now we present a web quiz with the
common goal to illuminate and spread knowledge about marine
littering and its consequences for the environment.
Since Concordia Maritime's activity is sea-based, we have a
strong commitment to the issue of marine littering. The world's
oceans are rapidly becoming full of litter, one of the biggest
environmental problems in our time. If we do not act now, there
will be more litter than fish in the sea in the year 2050. In the
web quiz, which can be found on the websites of both Concordia
Maritime and Keep Sweden Tidy, as well as via social channels, you
can test your knowledge of litter and plastic in the sea. Here you
can also learn more about what kind of litter is most dangerous for
marine life, and find out what the biggest source of microplastics
in the sea is. Additionally, you can access an international
knowledge bank via the website.

"It is very important for us to provide knowledge, and increase
the awareness of how littering affects our oceans and our
environment. We are happy for the collaboration with Keep Sweden
Tidy and hope that as many people as possible will do the web quiz
and spread it to others," says Ola
Helgesson, CFO Concordia
Maritime.

company. Our focus is on cost-effective and secure transports of
