The TwinShip consortium has launched its fourth pilot demonstration: an unmanned Ro-Ro vessel powered by green fuels and renewable energy, targeting Net Zero Emissions by 2045. Utilizing advanced digital twin technology, the project optimizes voyage planning and explores renewable energy as a cost-saving and decarbonization strategy for sustainable maritime operations.
A fire broke out on the Grande Brasile, a roll-on/roll-off vessel in the English Channel, prompting an international rescue operation. The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency coordinated efforts with Dutch, French, and Belgian authorities, successfully evacuating the 28-member crew. An investigation into the fire’s cause is underway.
The first LNG battery-powered RORO vessel, NYK Line’s Jasmine Leader, has arrived at Hambantota International Port (HIP) with transshipment cargo destined for Dammam and the Maldives. This environmentally friendly vessel offers reduced emissions and a lower risk of oil spills, representing the next generation of sustainable maritime transportation.
