The melting of Arctic ice is opening up new sea routes and opportunities in trade and oil exploration, but unpredictable weather conditions in the regions are increasing the need for heavy icebreaking capabilities. We find out when and where future icebreakers will be needed, and which countries are best prepared to push ahead in the Arctic sea.
As ship and port operators come under more pressure to clean up marine diesel engines in order to comply with new, stricter emissions regulations, we explore the technological options available and find out how they compare in terms of cost and efficiency. We also profile a new device that could allow ships to harness power by capturing wave movement in any direction and ask if it can be scaled up for commercial use.
Moreover, we ask how the Egyptian Government’s plan for a massive industrial hub around the Suez Canal will fare in the midst of political tension and find out how the EU-funded DockingAssist initiative aims to improve port efficiency and safety in Europe.

Developers have been devoting a significant amount of time to charting the world’s seas and have come up with several apps for gadget savvy sailors. From the open source SEAiq to the Garmin BlueChart Mobile we profile the best navigation apps available on the market today.
We also take a look at the drives of continued growth in the cruise industry, investigate the viability of Rolls-Royce‘s groundbreaking design for unmanned cargo vessels, and speak to the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution about the construction and the capabilities of its new, publicly funded Shannon class lifeboats.
Moreover, we assess the threat posed by ‘ghost ships’ to shipping traffic and explore the tracking technologies that are being used to minimise such risk, and find out more about DNV GL’s plan to transform phased-out tanker ships into floating wastewater treatment plants for seaside cities.
