Two car carrier ships are getting a major green upgrade that slashes pollution today and prepares them to capture carbon tomorrow. It's the first time this innovative technology has been installed on this type of vessel.
The world's maritime authority just approved the first global safety rules for self-driving ships, setting the stage for safer seas by 2032. The move comes as autonomous vessel technology rapidly advances across international waters.
A London startup just solved one of shipping's toughest environmental challenges by capturing CO2 from cargo ship exhaust and turning it into usable limestone. The technology could clean up pollution from tens of thousands of ships already on the ocean.
Norwegian researchers just solved one of the biggest challenges facing electric ships: how to recharge without returning to shore. The breakthrough uses wireless charging technology that works right in the middle of the ocean.
Battery-powered ships are already making economic sense for short routes, and a new study shows they could slash nearly a fifth of shipping emissions within six years. The best part? It's profitable right now.
A South Korean company is pioneering self-navigating ships that could make ocean travel safer and cleaner. Avikus is turning science fiction into reality on the world's busiest shipping routes.
The shipping industry is installing onboard carbon capture systems on existing vessels to slash emissions while waiting for clean fuel technology to scale. This retrofit solution helps one of the world's hardest industries to decarbonize meet climate targets years ahead of schedule. #
Two European cargo ships are getting a groundbreaking upgrade that slashes pollution now and prepares them to capture carbon later. It's the first time this dual-purpose technology has been installed on car carrier vessels.
A groundbreaking global study shows that adding wind propulsion to cargo ships could slash maritime emissions by nearly 8% by 2050, equal to taking 170 million cars off the road. The technology exists today, but policy support is the missing piece.
The Orient Express Corinthian just launched in France as the world's largest sailing cruise ship, combining old-world luxury with wind-powered technology that slashes emissions. With robot-controlled sails and whale detection systems, it proves eco-friendly travel doesn't mean sacrificing comfort.
Chinese battery makers say cheap sodium-ion batteries could power cargo ships across the ocean within three years, potentially ending diesel's dominance on the high seas. The math shows these massive vessels might actually carry more cargo while running on batteries.
After eight years of international cooperation, over 100 countries just created the world's first safety rules for autonomous cargo ships. The breakthrough code gets published next month and marks a major step toward self-navigating vessels becoming reality.
The shipping industry is embracing an old technology in a new way. High-tech sails and wind-smart routes could slash cargo ship emissions by more than half.
Two cargo ships hauling aluminum from Norway to Europe just slashed their carbon emissions by up to 35% using wind power and smart tech. It's a major win for an industry that's notoriously hard to clean up.
Scientists in Norway just solved one of shipping's biggest climate challenges with small nuclear reactors that could replace diesel engines. These safe, self-contained units would give cargo ships unlimited range while cutting the industry's massive carbon footprint.
A breakthrough study shows ships running on liquefied natural gas can slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 29% compared to traditional fuel. The finding marks a major step forward for cleaning up the shipping industry.
Scientists in South Korea just solved a major barrier to eco-friendly shipping with a breakthrough coating that protects ammonia-fueled ships from corrosion and wear. This innovation could help the maritime industry meet its zero-carbon goals by 2030.
Brazilian mining company Vale just ordered the world's first massive ocean-going ships powered primarily by ethanol, slashing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%. The innovative vessels combine biofuel technology with wind-assisted propulsion to chart a new course for cleaner shipping.
South Korean engineers just solved one of the biggest challenges blocking clean shipping—a breakthrough system that slashes toxic emissions from ammonia-fueled ships by up to 99.7%. The innovation could finally make carbon-free ocean transport a reality.
A massive French container ship just made history by transiting the Suez Canal, proving the legendary waterway can handle tomorrow's biggest vessels. The crossing marks a major win for global trade efficiency and cleaner shipping.
