Amogy Powerpack: Turning Ammonia into the Fuel of the Future
The maritime sector is systemically searching for substitutes to replace fossil fuels in order to achieve its global climate targets. While passenger vehicles have extensively adopted battery electrification, maritime needs face more complex challenges due to long travel times, high power output demands, and trade-offs with cargo storage space. These factors necessitate energy-dense fuels for…

From Sea to Sky: Bennu’s UV Technology Looks to Remove Methane from Vessels’s Emissions
In July 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) revised its targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector. The more ambitious goals aim to achieve net-zero emissions by or around 2050 compared to a 50% reduction in their previously agreed plan. Methane, as a potent greenhouse gas, is of concern to the industry…

Automation Will Create New Opportunities for Sustainability at Sea
If “Driverless” ships become a reality, what will be the environmental impact? Without question, automation is already playing a growing role onboard vessels, signalling a potential revolution in maritime operations. While automation today is most often used to optimize select tasks, a future where Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are sailing the seas is certainly…

Automation: The Future of Sustainable Shipping
As the maritime industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, optimizing onboard energy management is becoming an essential aspect of sustainable shipping. Beyond the power required for propulsion, a significant amount of electrical power is needed to sustain the crew and various support systems, including cooling water pumps, ventilation fans, control systems, and…

AliciaBots: The Future of Eco-Friendly Hull Cleaning
It’s no secret that hull maintenance is a significant cost for ship owners, not only in direct costs but also because poor maintenance can lead to expensive and avoidable repairs. Data shows that 87% of structural failures start with corrosion. Improved efficiency in hull maintenance can also have a significant environmental impact, as it’s estimated…
