One idea is to better harness wind power to help power ships, reduce emissions and save fuel. Experts believe that fuel savings of up to 50% are achievable, …
Regulation without enforcement is meaningless. Remote sensing can add to maritime domain awareness and monitor emissions and carbon reduction targets.
Future fuel selection challenges for shipping to meet carbon reduction targets.
Fuel quantity accuracy has been a headache for the industry for as long as there has been fuel. The quantities and values involved have resulted in numerous and well publicised thefts and frauds from the small and often repeated to the large and infrequent.
The problem of reducing carbon intensity in shipping and maintaining global regulation for trading efficiency.
Increasing adoption of wind power technologies in shipping results in new challenges and opportunities for voyage optimisation.
Beyond 7 days the router or the software can either assume that nothing changes and that the last weather experienced will persist, this is known as ‘persistence’, or default to climatology.
