ABS - nuclear powered LNG carrier capex 2.5x more, but cheaper over lifecycle
A joint study with ABS, Blossom Energy and a global shipping company found that while the initial investment for a nuclear-powered liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier would be approximately 2.5 times that of a conventional LNG carrier, the design would substantially reduce fuel costs over the vessel’s operating life. Presented at Gastech 2026, the study examined a 174,000 CBM LNG carrier equipped with a 20-25 MWe high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) under development by

Marlink and NORMA Cyber combine forces to connect threat detection with expert response

Marlink and the Nordic Maritime Cyber Resilience Centre (NORMA Cyber) have closed that gap with a combined service that connects fleet-wide threat detection directly to expert maritime response. Höegh Autoliners, a long-standing Marlink customer, is among the first operators to deploy it across its

Ulysses - all operational data in one place, not e-mail + ERP
It is normal for people in maritime operations roles, on ship and shore, to manage their work today by e-mail and structured specialist software tools such as ERP. They receive e-mails when things have changed, and have to monitor their inboxes continuously. They also retrieve and enter data into structured software, such as ERP and maintenance management. Work could be much more effective if people also had an online place where they could find their e-mails properly sorted,
