Condition monitoring has always underpinned reliability and uptime in shipping.

Speaking at the 2026 Petersberg Climate Dialogue, Germany's Federal Minister for the Environment, Carsten Schneider, emphasised the need to advance electrification in international climate policy. He said this was a "global megatrend" with rapidly growing markets.

The maritime sector has made measurable progress in reducing its impact on global oceans, but it remains well short of the scale and pace of change needed to meet its 2030 ambitions, according to the first Shipping and Ocean Health 2026 progress report.

For much of the past decade, the maritime industry's decarbonisation debate has focused on technologies, fuels, and regulations.

The maritime industry has spent much of the past decade focused on a fundamental challenge: identifying fuels and technologies to achieve net-zero.

Ships are designed to a specification. Yet that starting point - calm waters, a single design speed, and constant draft - rarely mirrors the varied conditions encountered at sea.
