Is your fleet connected, or is it truly integrated?

There is a difference. Data can flow between ship and shore, yet remain fragmented across departments and vendors.

The next digital discussion is less about bandwidth and more about trust. Trust that every decision starts with reliable information.

Connectivity was once the finish line. Today, it is simply the starting point. Konstantinos Sakellakos, IT Manager at NAVARONE SA, explains why trusted data, system integration and governance have become the industry's next digital priorities.

You can have the best system with the best data in the world, but if it's not adopted onboard, it will still just be data. Adoption, not capability, is where most integration projects quietly stall. The Great Integration Report looks at why technical integration is usually the easy part, and what shipping companies need to get right onshore before the master on board will trust the call coming through the screen.

A major credential leak linked to Fortinet firewalls has exposed administrator logins used across the maritime sector, with shipowners and ship managers accounting for the largest share of affected organisations. The findings raise fresh concerns over identity security as fleets rely on connected IT and operational systems.

Singapore has set out a five-part strategy to strengthen its maritime sector, with digitalisation, resilience and ecosystem collaboration at the heart of its long-term plans. The roadmap gives shipowners and ship managers a clearer view of how one of the world's busiest maritime hubs sees competitiveness evolving beyond operational efficiency.

A new analysis from VesselBot suggests shippers may be paying substantially more than the operational fuel cost recovered through bunker surcharges on one of the world's busiest container routes. The findings add weight to calls for shipowners, managers and cargo interests to use operational data when assessing fuel cost recovery.

Klaveness Digital has released a whitepaper arguing that fragmented emissions data, rather than a lack of information, has become one of the biggest obstacles to accurate carbon reporting. The company says shipowners, managers and charterers need structured data workflows as emissions reporting becomes part of everyday fleet operations.

Hydrogen ambitions often hinge on infrastructure. Höegh Evi's latest testing moves floating ammonia terminals closer to commercial reality. The next phase will determine whether the technology performs beyond the pilot plant.
