Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), one of the world’s largest privately owned ship management companies, has recorded strong demand for self-directed learning after MarinePALS, a maritime e-learning provider, rolled out its microlearning platform across all 161 vessels within 30 days. In the first 45 days, 485 active users watched 26,722 videos and completed a combined 2,181 hours of training, averaging more than 55 videos each. The scale of the uptake suggests that seafarers ar

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

As cyber attacks continue to evolve, Witherby's new edition of the Cyber Security Workbook for On Board Ship Use equips seafarers and shoreside staff with the knowledge needed to safeguard ship operations This workbook supports the owner, Master and the ship's crew with cyber security risk management. It contains comprehensive checklists to support the day-to-day management of onboard cyber security and facilitates collaboration between ships, onshore IT departments and equip

Marea Scale Models has launched in the UK, bringing its proprietary AI-assisted design process, Ai Refloat™, to the European maritime market. The process has been developed to produce highly detailed & accurate, immediately recognisable maritime scale models more efficiently while preserving the hand-finished detail clients expect. Already used on the company’s first commercial commissions, Ai Refloat™ addresses a longstanding challenge in maritime model making: reproducing t

Mintra’s Mentor AI has been named a finalist in the Innovation and Technology category of the Crew Connect Global Awards 2026, recognising its use of governed AI to give seafarers trusted operational information at the point of need. Launched in December 2025, Mentor AI addresses a longstanding gap between completing formal training and applying that knowledge in real operational situations. Seafarers may need to recall critical knowledge weeks, months or even years after com

Detecting a cyber threat on a vessel is only half the battle with operators still needing to assess it, understand the operational impact, and act fast enough to avoid disruption. 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

GTT Marine, a business unit of the GTT Group, and Normec Verifavia, announce a new integration between GTT Marine's Vesper Insights solution and the Normec Verifavia Emissions Verification dashboard, enabling automated data exchange and continuous emissions verification for shipping operators. The integration enables the secure and automated transfer of vessel performance, voyage and emissions data directly into Normec Verifavia's verification dashboard. By eliminating manual

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,

Brittany Ferries, Adrena and Bureau Veritas Solutions Marine & Offshore (“BV Solutions”, the M&O advisory services business line of Bureau Veritas) have successfully demonstrated fuel savings of up to 6% through the deployment of an advanced digital twin-enabled routing solution. The AdrenaShip concept highlights the potential of advanced digital technologies to improve vessel efficiency and support maritime decarbonisation. Combining Brittany Ferries' operational expertise,

GTMaritime has launched GT Connect, a collaboration platform designed to help maritime teams connect everyday communications with the operational work that follows. Much of the activity involved in running a fleet still begins with email, but the resulting tasks, cases, bookings, documents and decisions can quickly become dispersed across individual inboxes, spreadsheets and separate systems. GT Connect is intended to bring that information together within a shared operationa

With bunker prices having increased by 76% since the US war on Iran, together with an ageing fleet operating longer voyages as ships navigate around conflict zones, shipmanagers and crews need to look more closely at their engines if they want to reduce costs, advises engine monitoring specialist CM Technologies (CMT). CMT believes the combined effect of higher fuel costs, older ships (average age is 13 according to Clarksons data) and machinery and tighter emissions requirem

M2INTELLIGENCE today announced the successful completion of the fleet-wide rollout of its GVMS solution across Newport’s vessels, providing shore-based teams with direct access to live and recorded visual information from onboard operations. With GVMS deployed consistently across the fleet, Newport can remotely follow critical vessel areas and activities, review operational events and incidents, and support troubleshooting, inspections, training and collaboration between ship

SEA.AI, a pioneer in AI-powered maritime machine vision, and The Carlisle & Finch Co., which has manufactured searchlights since 1894, today announced an integration between SEA.AI's Sentry system and Carlisle & Finch's SmartVIEW Gateway. It brings together two very different kinds of expertise: proven searchlight engineering and machine vision technology. The integration allows a vessel's searchlight to turn towards and track a target detected and classified by SEA.AI, whe

The Nautical Institute is highlighting the growing importance of electronic evidence following maritime accidents and incidents as modern ships generate more data and complex records of their operation. The forthcoming second edition of Guidelines for Collecting Maritime Evidence, Volume 2 examines how evidence from onboard systems should be identified, recovered and preserved, and how it can be used to understand the circumstances surrounding a maritime casualty. Originally

UAB-Online, the cloud platform for digital collaboration in dry and liquid bulk logistics, and Dropboard, the planning and scheduling platform developed by Systems Navigator, are deepening their integration to help terminals connect berth planning with day to day port call coordination. Many terminals still manage berth planning in spreadsheets, whiteboards or separate planning tools. These methods may support internal planning, but they often make it difficult to keep agents
