Ports and fleets are increasingly deploying solutions that deliver practical emissions reductions and operational clarity today, from at-berth capture to digitalisation and alternative fuels.

Here, shipowners are combining technology, data, and partnerships to bridge the gap between regulatory pressure and commercial realities. Immediate action is becoming as important as long-term strategy.

Cleaner air starts at the dock. With regulatory deadlines looming and fleet-wide fuel transitions still in progress, at-berth emissions capture offers an immediate path to compliance. STAX Engineering’s system can bring vessels into line within 30 minutes, cutting particulate matter and nitrogen oxides without disrupting operations…read more

Data is transforming bulk handling. A £4m digitalisation partnership is revolutionising bulk terminal operations across UK ports. From automated check-ins to connected cargo tracking, Peel Ports is improving accuracy, reducing stock losses, and enabling more predictable service for customers…read more

Visibility matters at sea. Dark vessel activity is increasingly a commercial and safety concern. KSAT’s new platform integrates satellite detection, AI analytics, and real-time tracking to give fleet managers a single operational view, shortening decision cycles and enhancing situational awareness…read more

Waste fuels gain commercial traction. XFuel’s $20m Series A funding highlights growing confidence in waste-based drop-in fuels. The technology converts vessel sludge and other hydrocarbon waste into low-carbon transport fuels that fit existing engines, providing near-term decarbonisation without operational disruption…read more

Wind is no longer just a trial. Berge Bulk completes its second rotor sail installation, demonstrating wind-assisted propulsion that integrates into commercial operations. Folding rotor sails reduce fuel use and emissions while maintaining operational flexibility for ports and weather conditions…read more

Expertise enables practical fuel transition. A new partnership strengthens technical support for Greek and Cypriot shipowners adopting methanol, ammonia, and biofuels. The alliance ensures responsive service from commissioning through retrofit and lifecycle management, reducing risk and supporting actionable decarbonisation…read more

Rising weather disruption and geopolitical shifts are making it harder for shipowners to prove the value of efficiency investments. Weathernews warns that traditional planning and performance assessment models are breaking down, leaving operators with growing commercial blind spots. Digital foresight is now becoming essential to protect fuel savings, emissions performance and return on investment…read more
