Innovative solutions are needed to reach the ambitious climate neutrality and emission reduction goals established by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Commission (COM) at the international and European levels.

Our organisation has recently released an analysis that looks at retrofitting costs of a very large crude carrier (VLCC) to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel within the context of the upcoming International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).

Shipowners and operators should be well into planning for the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulations coming in from 2023 and what improvements they should make so their vessels comply.

The Baltic Ports Conference 2022 concluded in Gdynia on 8 September.

The promises of the digital era are high: data from onboard sensors and systems can provide unprecedented insights into a vessel's operations, while digital reporting should reduce workloads for crews.

ioCurrents, a data analytics specialist, and ScanReach, a maritime wireless Internet of Things solution provider, have formed a strategic partnership to help ship operators and the offshore sector become more efficient and sustainable while safeguarding the safety of their personnel.

The past decade has made the global supply chain increasingly intricate and unpredictable.

The global ports system's resilience is being tested by a series of worldwide supply chain shocks: the post-pandemic trade rebound due to the accumulation of stranded cargo, sanctions against Russia, and climate change effects.

There are few options to digitise processes for cargo owners that rely on contracts of affreightment (COA) and spot voyages.

With the advancement of technology in recent years, the applications of efficient virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) realities have picked up speed.
