Shore-side power is being touted as a promising solution to curbing emissions from large ships and the EU has recommended all ports adopt the technology by 2025 – however, scepticism prevails within the industry. We investigate how feasible this implementation timeline is and what challenges need to be overcome.
We also take a look at the construction of the UK’s new state-of-the-art polar research ship designed to keep the country at forefront of climate and ocean research, speak to GE Marine about its SeaStream Insight remote monitoring and asset support platform, and examine Transafe’s new incident management simulator for emergency crews.
Plus, we find out how cruise operators are stepping up their culinary game with the help of celebrity chefs and high-end restaurants, and we take a look at initiatives underway in the UK to attract and train the next generation of seafarers.
