The maintenance of ocean-going vessels is of prime importance. Cleaning a ship’s hull represents both a logistical challenge and high monetary cost, yet a failure to carry this out has consequences on the smooth passage of the ship as well as the risk of overlooking maintenance issues.
The average cost of cleaning a ship’s hull is between 150,000 to 300,000 Australian dollars. It takes around 8 days to complete and means the vessel is out of service during that time. The current method of...
Shipping needs to develop a continual learning environment to equip the seafarer of the future for the rate of change that is coming to the industry. That was the call from Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman, President, and CEO in an interview with Esben Poulsson, International Chamber of Shipping Chairman, at Sea Asia.
“How do we get everyone ready for the new language of shipping which is going to be CO2 emissions per ton mile? As we look forward, I think the talent equation is going to...

As governments come together at the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO) to consider important next steps to decarbonise maritime transport, the global shipping industry urgently calls on them to take forward its proposal for an industry-financed, USD 5 billion research and development programme, to catalyse the transformation of the industry from dependence on fossil fuels to operating with zero-carbon energy sources.
Although total emissions from shipping are about 7% lower than in...
Port of Rotterdam Authority is a member of the new Future Fuels Network that has been announced on 6 October at the maritime conference in Singapore.
In collaboration with the port organisations of Singapore and Japan, the Port of Rotterdam Authority will develop a roadmap on the adoption of clean marine fuels in support of decarbonisation.
Next to research and development, parties will collaborate on possible joint bunkering pilot runs with identified shipping lines to support the...
In the TrAM project 14 project partners work together to develop a zero-emission fast going passenger vessel through advanced modular production. “Trying to change the industry’s perception of modular and more standardized vessels has been the biggest challenge,” say modular experts Tobias Seidenberg and Christoph Jürgenhake of the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design IEM.
In addition to developing and building a zero-emission demonstrator fast ferry, the TrAM project aims to...

According to a recent statement, ABS and P&O Maritime Logistics (POML) have agreed to a pioneering condition-based class (CBC) pilot project for the platform supply vessel (PSV), DMS Courageous. It is said that this three-phase agreement paves the way for a transformation from calendar-based to condition-based classification.
Delivered in three progressive phases, the project focuses initially on improving alternative means of compliance verification; expanding and evolving to apply remote...
