The voice of IT Leadership in the commercial maritime industry

Shipowners are investing in digital tools that bring safety and operations closer together on the bridge. A new partnership between Hefring Marine and SEA.AI aims to combine vessel performance intelligence with real time visual awareness in a single operational picture.

Smarter Sustainability Starts Here

Regulatory readiness is just the beginning. LOREKA360° Emissions Desk helps shipowners go beyond compliance to drive measurable sustainability gains. With advanced CII forecasting, corrective action planning, and data-backed advisory from maritime experts, the service identifies opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce emissions across every voyage. Integrated digital tools ensure accurate data and transparent tracking across IMO DCS, EU MRV, SEEMP, and ETS frameworks, while expert auditors guide continuous improvement. Built for performance, accountability, and long-term impact, Accelleron turns compliance into climate progress.

Shipowners and managers planning complex river operations face rising expectations on environmental certainty. CSA Ocean Sciences has completed a detailed riverbed survey on the Columbia River, using digital imaging to support infrastructure planning and risk awareness in a busy inland waterway.

Container losses remain a safety, environmental and reporting challenge, often unfolding out of sight of the bridge. Eyesea, working with EVI Safety Technologies, is preparing ship-ready camera-based detection that aims to give owners faster visibility and cleaner reporting when containers go overboard.

Where operational excellence meets net zero ambition

Shipowners exploring practical decarbonisation are moving beyond trials towards repeat investment. Amasus Shipping’s second installation of bound4blue’s eSAIL® technology signals growing confidence in wind propulsion as a working solution for general cargo fleets.

For shipowners, access to scalable alternative fuels is becoming as important as vessel design. Hapag-Lloyd’s second win in a ZEMBA tender places e-methanol at the centre of its near-term fleet strategy on deep sea routes.

Chemical tanker owners are beginning to test where electrification can fit within commercial operations. Spain’s Mureloil has signed a second contract with AYK Energy, reinforcing its decision to adopt diesel electric propulsion across newbuild product tankers.

Yesterday’s Most Engaging Story:

Gram Car Carriers has taken a fleet-wide step in digital navigation by adopting Orca AI across its owned PCTC vessels. This puts the shipowner’s safety culture and shore oversight at the centre of its digital strategy.
