When DeepSea Technologies was founded, the industry was collecting more data than ever before, yet struggling to translate it into measurable operational gains. According to Dr. Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos, the company’s CEO & Co-founder, the problem was not access to information, but the inability to model vessel behaviour accurately as conditions changed over time.

For shipowners and fleet managers, digital oversight is increasingly tied to safety and readiness. NAVTOR’s partnership with the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue shows how integrated fleet management can strengthen decision-making where it matters most.

As cyber risk moves firmly onto the ship management agenda, compliance is becoming a commercial differentiator. Air Products Membrane Solutions’ certification under new IACS requirements signals a shift in how critical onboard systems are assessed and selected by shipowners.

For shipowners weighing alternative fuels, real voyages matter more than concept studies. Cargill’s first green methanol dual-fuel bulker enters service as a working test bed for low-carbon operations, bunkering and freight demand.

For shipowners considering ammonia as a future fuel, supply chain certainty remains a central concern. A new agreement between CF Industries, Trafigura and TFG Marine focuses on building the production, logistics and bunkering links needed to make low-carbon ammonia a practical option.

For shipowners and port operators, harbour craft are becoming a proving ground for zero-emission technology. Echandia’s battery delivery for India’s first fully electric tug highlights how long-life energy systems are reshaping port operations and fleet strategy.

FarSounder’s AI research points to a future where bridge teams receive clearer, more consistent interpretation of sonar data. Automated target classification could reduce watchkeeper burden, support safer navigation in restricted waters and strengthen risk management as crews get smaller.
