The beautiful, gnarled, nooked-and-crannied reefs that surround tropical islands serve as a marine refuge and natural buffer against stormy seas. But as the effects of climate change bleach and break down coral reefs around the world, and extreme weather events become more common, coastal communities are left increasingly vulnerable to frequent flooding and erosion.
Chevron is chartering its first hybrid electric bunker tanker—a vessel that fuels other ships. The tanker arrived at Singapore facilities last summer.
MOL PLUS announced its intent to invest in Fleetzero Inc., a developer and manufacturer of marine battery systems and EV vessels.
When it comes to wind turbines, the bigger they are, the harder they work, generating more renewable offshore wind energy, and a greater return on investment for developers.
International® Marine Coatings (International) has published a new whitepaper which reveals the high degree of accuracy of its predictive Intertrac® Vision tool to real life vessel operations by correlating to the speed loss of a globally trading VLCC vessel over a five-year docking period, in line with the principles of the ISO 19030 standard.
On March 22, 2024, the Damen Shipyards Group delivered an ASD Tug 2811 to Croatian vessel operator Brodospas. On March 27, Brodospas held a ceremony, welcoming the vessel to its fleet and naming it Hrabri. The cutting-edge vessel boasts 60 tons of bollard pull, with which it will enhance harbor towage operations in the ports of Split and Ploče on the Dalmatian coast.

Kraken Technology Group, a maritime technology leader specializing in the disruptive design and manufacturing of high-performance platforms, and Auterion, the company building the software-defined future for mobile robotics and powering the world’s leading drone manufacturers, have announced a strategic partnership to exponentially develop autonomous capabilities in the high-performance littoral security boat sector.
Oasis Marine, a small company in North-East Scotland, is leading the way in the decarbonization of vessels with pioneering technology.
Traditional benthic samplers such as box corers must be deployed with sufficient momentum to ensure penetration of the seabed. This creates a bow wave that will disrupt the surface layer of the seabed before the corer is able to collect a full sample.
Ocean Infinity, a world leader in robotic and uncrewed vessel technology, is pleased to announce the signing of a Global Framework Agreement (GFA) with Shell, marking a significant milestone in the provision of lean-crewed and robotic seabed geomatics, spanning geophysical and geotechnical services, within the offshore energy sector.
Innovative new technology to isolate gas pipelines in need of repair or maintenance has shown to prevent gas leakages and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 95% compared with venting pipeline contents to atmosphere—the equivalent of switching off 1,760 gas boilers for a year or taking 1,000 cars off the road.
Santorini is one of the best-studied volcanic archipelagos in the world. An international drilling expedition has now for the first time used a scientific drill ship to explore and investigate the seafloor around the Greek volcanic island. The researchers have uncovered evidence of an underwater eruption in 726 CE, previously known only from historical records. Their findings are published today in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Low oxygen conditions that pose a significant threat to marine life are widespread and increasing in coastal Pacific Northwest Ocean waters as the climate warms, a new study shows.
