Published Reports
Autonomy at Sea
This report features a selection of the companies that are diving into the space, such as Fincantieri, with its swarm of subsea drones; Subsea Europe Services, which has a holistic approach to connect assets from deep underwater to the clouds above; and Hefring Marine, which is improving its predictive models by daily gathering more and more data on real-time events to inform situations at sea.
Batteries in Maritime
Batteries are becoming extremely important in many industrial sectors, partly because they are considered ‘green’. But are they? This is one of the themes our Special Report into batteries in maritime explores, alongside interviews with marine battery makers, vessel operators and a catch-up with the first electric tug, Damen’s Sparky.
Upcoming Reports
Alternative Fuels
The workboat sector is facing a quandary: which fuel (or fuels) will power the next generation of vessels? Methanol, hydrogen, batteries and hybrids claim to lower emissions, yet diesel remains proven, available and affordable. In this Special Report, we speak to the industry to try and understand how it’s weighing risk, cost, regulation and reality, and what it thinks – or doesn’t know – about where the sector is heading.
Tugs, Towing & Salvage
Tugs, towing and salvage vessels sit at the sharp end of maritime operations, where power, reliability and responsiveness are critical. As ports aim to get greener and regulations tighten, operators are having to rethink how these hard-working vessels are designed and powered. In this Special Report we examine the latest propulsion technologies, alternative fuels and newbuild strategies, and the challenges ahead for one of the industry’s most demanding sectors.
