Today’s stories reflect how maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation are becoming operational realities rather than future plans. From crew transparency and workforce skills to data driven decision making, vessel design and zero emissions energy supply, owners and managers are being pushed to connect technology, people and infrastructure more closely than ever.

Transparency is becoming a management asset. Crew experience is moving from anecdote to data. Offshore Ship Advisor gives shipowners and managers structured, moderated insight into life onboard, turning seafarer feedback into a practical tool for recruitment, retention and vessel standards…read more

AI is becoming part of the maritime decision chain but trust and responsibility remain with people. The real opportunity lies in human + AI collaboration, where technology supports situational awareness and decision-making without eroding human accountability or increasing crew burden.

In this live webinar, on Tuesday, February 24th | 9 AM GMT/10 AM CET, maritime operators and technologists will discuss how AI can be operationalised responsibly enhancing safety, reducing uncertainty, and supporting consistent outcomes across fleets.

The ocean is becoming measurable. Persistent ocean data is edging closer to daily fleet use. With fresh funding, Apeiron Labs is scaling underwater monitoring that supports routing, risk assessment and compliance by making ocean conditions observable rather than assumed…read more

Technology moves faster than skills. Automation in ports is only as effective as the people operating it. PortSkill 4.0 shows how terminal operators are linking digital investment with structured training, social dialogue and long term workforce planning…read more

Efficiency now extends beyond propulsion. Decarbonisation is reshaping even secondary onboard systems. A new offshore construction vessel shows how energy efficient lighting is being designed in from the start to support safety, endurance and lower emissions…read more

Energy supply is the real constraint. Zero emissions shipping depends on more than vessel design. A new partnership highlights how continuous, non intermittent clean power could underpin ports, shore power and future maritime fuel production…read more

Connectivity is becoming a design choice, not a retrofit. Connectivity is now being designed into vessels rather than added later. Auerbach’s decision to deploy fully managed, bonded connectivity across its newbuild heavy lift fleet signals how shipowners are aligning digital capability with performance, compliance and crew expectations from day one…read more
