Today’s DS Daily is presented by Thetius
Thetius and Marlink are inviting maritime professionals to share their insights on the use of cloud-based vessel IT in the maritime sector.
This short survey explores how operators are approaching the shift to cloud-based software, from adoption and integration to key challenges and expectations for the future.
Your input will directly inform our upcoming research on IT applications at sea, helping to build a clearer picture of where the industry stands today and what support is needed for the next phase of digital transformation.
Have your say: The future of cloud-based vessel IT
Mintra has completed its acquisition of SQLearn, strengthening its role in the Greek maritime training market. For shipowners and ship managers seeking consistent digital learning and crew competency tools, the combined organisation brings deeper local expertise and broader global support.
The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has launched its Enterprise Content Management System, bringing digital processes into core regulatory work. For shipowners and ship managers, this promises clearer documentation handling and more predictable administrative procedures across Nigeria’s maritime sector.
Where operational excellence meets net zero ambition
Green Whale Technology and EVE Energy have formed a partnership focused on long life marine battery systems. The agreement aims to give shipowners and ship managers a more affordable and reliable route into vessel electrification. The collaboration combines certified systems, lifecycle support and local service capability.
ABB has introduced a new DP2 control capability that was recently proven at sea on DEME’s new wind turbine installation vessel Norse Wind. The development strengthens vessel handling and decision making for complex offshore operations. This marks another development towards safer and more efficient low-emission project vessels.
Nordic governments and industry partners have launched Phase 2 of the regional roadmap for sustainable fuels in maritime transport. The programme, led by DNV, aims to progress green corridors and strengthen collaboration across shipowners, ports and financial stakeholders.
