The voice of IT Leadership in the commercial maritime industry
As maritime decarbonisation accelerates, shipowners are contending with one of the most complex operating environments the sector has ever faced. Carbon pricing is rising year on year; fuel markets remain volatile, and regional policies are tightening at different speeds, creating a patchwork of compliance obligations even on a single voyage.
Trelleborg Marine and Infrastructure has completed the first large scale deployment of its SafeTug technology at Port of Port Hedland. The project highlights how maritime digitalisation is reshaping tug fleet management in ports where safety and continuity are critical.
Austal USA is extending its long running digital shipbuilding strategy with the adoption of SSI’s ShipbuildingPLM platform. The move highlights how shipbuilders delivering complex government fleets are turning to integrated data systems to improve certainty, consistency and long term programme performance.
Where operational excellence meets net zero ambition
HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions is expanding its footprint in offshore energy by supplying salt based battery systems to floating production units operated by leading oil and gas companies. The projects show how shipowners and offshore asset managers are adopting alternative energy technologies to improve safety, resilience and long term decarbonisation readiness.
Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) has taken a decisive step towards zero emission ferry operations with seven fully electric newbuilds for Scotland’s west coast. Backed by large scale battery supply from Corvus Energy, the programme places ship ownership and long term fleet management at the centre of maritime decarbonisation.
Synergen Green Energy is moving ahead with a large scale green ammonia project in the United States aimed at supplying maritime and industrial markets overseas. By selecting Electric Hydrogen’s electrolyser technology, the developer is targeting fuel volumes that could support shipowners planning long term transitions away from conventional marine fuels.
