ZeroNorth’s technology uses artificial intelligence and real-time data to optimise voyages and reduce emissions

‘A few lines of code can bring a marine shipping business to a grinding halt,’ says Lockton’s Pordham

Advancements in remote survey techniques will not only provide significant safety benefits, but will also reduce costs and vessel down time

US tax credits for clean hydrogen and carbon capture have survived Trump’s green energy raid, but the shorter runway will make conditions tougher for new projects

Ships in shallow waters, including nine of world’s 10 biggest ports, can churn up bubbles of planet-warming methane from the seabed to the surface, according to a study by Chalmers University in Gothenburg. These emissions may be a big and so far unknown source of shipping’s climate impact

The deployment of robots in shipyards aims to improve efficiency, safety and productivity, particularly where there is a shortage of manpower

The IMO has work to do to calculate out how much to reward wind power when taxing ships for their GHG emissions. But the carbon price alone will propel the technology forward

Other energy-saving device makers view the policy bonus as unfair, but how to get the policy right is a thorny problem. Interest in wind-assisted propulsion has ‘skyrocketed’ since the onset of the FuelEU Maritime green regulation. But the EU’s plan creates loopholes and not everyone is happy with it.

Venture capital backed digital start-ups have long promised scalable solutions to improve everything from voyage optimisation to back-end efficiencies, but the persistently fragmented sector has delivered congestion among differentiated businesses, not consolidation

Wood Mackenzie predicts the CCUS market will surge 28-fold by 2050, creating opportunities for CO2 carriers
