MLA College

Requirements

  • Essay (Question 3)

With reference to the maritime sector identified in Question 1 Blog Post, critically evaluate to what extent do external factors influence sustainability of the relevant maritime operations. Please remember to specify the sector or case study you are referring to in the introduction of your essay.

In answering this question, you are required to:

  • Provide a brief description of contemporary political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental developments in the context of your chosen company or sector.
  • Use AI tools of your choice to explore developments related to your chosen company or sector, supplementing the materials provided in your TLP. It is essential that you critically evaluate any AI-generated content by applying your own knowledge, critical thinking, and experience. Avoid copying AI-generated text and ensure your work reflects original insights and analysis.
  • Use the PESTLE strategic analysis model to help organise your answer.
  • Evaluate how these external factors restrict or enhance sustainable maritime operations, providing specific examples and explaining how this can impact your chosen sector or case study.

Our Writer’s Comment

This assessment evaluates whether students can prioritise and critically assess how those forces impact sustainability outcomes in real maritime operations.

Common challenges students encounter include:

  • Generic PESTLE breakdowns. Factors are listed without direct relevance to the chosen maritime sector or case study.
  • Limited sustainability evaluation. External developments are described but not assessed in terms of operational or environmental impact.
  • Uncritical use of AI-generated content. AI insights are included without sufficient judgement, verification, or sector expertise.

High-performing submissions clearly establish the sector upfront and use PESTLE as an analytical tool rather than a checklist.

How to Improve Your Performance for This Assignment

This is a strategic evaluation task.

  • Link every PESTLE factor to sustainability outcomes. Show how regulations, technology, or market pressures affect long-term operations.
  • Focus on relevance. Strong analysis prioritises key external pressures over exhaustive coverage.
  • Demonstrate control over AI tools. Use AI for exploration, then refine and challenge outputs using your own reasoning.
  • Support claims with concrete examples. Emissions rules, fuel transitions, or port policies should translate into real operational effects.

Well-structured answers read like professional strategic assessments.
