A major step toward zero-carbon shipping has just moved from theory to practice.The world’s first commercial ammonia bunkering operation has been completed—bringing alternative fuels closer to real-world deployment at scale.
As the cruise sector moves from climate targets to real-world execution, Estonia is stepping forward with a hands-on model for decarbonization—focused not just on ambition, but on delivery.At Seatrade Cruise Global 2026, the country is showcasing an integrated approach that connects funding…
India’s shipbuilding sector is taking a decisive step into future fuels. A major order for ammonia-capable bulk carriers signals growing confidence in both domestic yards and next-generation propulsion.
Ports have long been built to resist the sea. But a new approach is emerging—one that works with the ocean instead of against it, reshaping how maritime infrastructure is designed and deployed.
Port State Control (PSC) regimes are moving toward closer coordination worldwide. The goal: more consistent inspections, smarter targeting of substandard ships, and better use of shared data.
Shipping has invested heavily in digital tools—but smarter decisions haven’t always followed. A new industry report suggests the problem isn’t lack of data, but how it’s connected and used.
The shipping industry is gearing up technically for engine retrofits—but investment decisions remain cautious. A lack of regulatory clarity is slowing conversions, even as viable fuel solutions and retrofit pathways continue to mature.
The UK is accelerating its carbon capture and storage (CCS) ambitions, with strong industry participation in its latest offshore licensing round. For maritime and offshore stakeholders, this signals a growing pipeline of subsea infrastructure, new vessel demand, and long-term energy transition…
Japan has taken another decisive step toward autonomous shipping, certifying a domestic RoRo vessel for fully autonomous navigation during commercial operations. The milestone reflects a broader push to modernise coastal logistics while addressing workforce and safety challenges at sea.
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has floated out what it describes as the world’s first hydrogen-fueled cruise ship, Viking Libra, at its Ancona yard. The vessel, ordered by Viking, is scheduled for delivery in late 2026 and marks a notable shift in propulsion strategy for passenger…
Shipbuilder Damen and defence specialist FN Herstal are strengthening cooperation in the naval defence sector.A new agreement aims to combine shipbuilding platforms with advanced weapons and security technologies to support future naval operations in Europe and within NATO.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming shipping operations — from fleet optimisation to recruitment. But new research shows the same technology is also accelerating cyberattacks, shrinking the time companies have to respond to vulnerabilities to just hours.Artificial intelligence is…
