UMAS was established in 2013 out of the belief and understanding that the maritime and international shipping sector was going to require significant support to meet the challenges of the 21st century, none more challenging than that of decarbonisation and achieving higher levels of sustainability. UMAS is a collaboration between UMAS International Ltd and UCL. Since 2013 UMAS has grown into a significant niche consultancy focused on delivering consultancy services and innovative software derived products for the maritime and shipping sector.
