Every delayed visa, missed connection or disrupted crew change has a human and operational cost.

Digitalisation delivers the greatest value when it removes friction between organisations and gives people the confidence to make better decisions.

In an industry built on global movement, seamless coordination remains one of the hardest challenges to solve. Getting it right benefits operators, crews and customers alike.

Today’s question: Has shipping spent too much time automating processes and not enough time improving decisions?

Digitalisation is often discussed as a technology challenge, yet ATPI argues the real opportunity lies in connecting the people and processes involved in crew changes. From disruption management to emissions reporting and crew welfare, the company believes collaboration across stakeholders delivers greater value than automating outdated workflows.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue. A new initiative covering 1,000 vessels highlights how insurers, cyber specialists and shipowners are working more closely to manage operational risk.

Despite oceans covering most of the planet, large areas remain poorly mapped. A new expedition in the Pacific is testing technology that could significantly increase survey coverage and reshape how offshore data is collected.

NYK's new hydrogen-powered passenger vessel will provide a real-world test of fuel cell technology in commercial service from 2027. The project combines maritime, energy and automotive expertise as owners continue exploring practical pathways to lower-emission operations.

A new study involving Lloyd's Register, Rotterdam, CORE POWER and Maersk examines how existing port safety frameworks could be adapted for nuclear-powered commercial vessels. The findings add a new dimension to the industry's search for scalable zero-emission propulsion solutions.

A vessel carrying more than 10,000 vehicles while cutting emissions by around 24% offers a glimpse into how automotive logistics is responding to decarbonisation demands. Seaspan's latest delivery combines scale, fuel flexibility and lower emissions intensity in a single asset.
