WÄRTSILÄ INVESTS IN MARINE DIGITAL PLATFORM TO SUPPORT SHIPPING DECARBONIZATION


Wärtsilä Voyage, part of the technology group Wärtsilä, has completed an investment in Marindows, a Japanese company delivering an open digital platform for Japan’s marine industry, in an effort to accelerate decarbonization and efficiency in the global marine industry.


Together, Marindows and Wärtsilä Voyage will be creating significant value for the Japanese market through their collaboration, which will include the areas of vessel optimization and autonomy. Safer, greener and more efficient operations are some of the benefits both companies set to bring to the market by reinforcing synergies and leveraging a digital ecosystem of applications that run on board and ashore.


“We can accelerate new value creation and technology adoption by supporting Marindows with our advanced platform and suite of technologies. At Wärtsilä Voyage, we’re proud of our solid digital portfolio which supports the acceleration of maritime digitalization, cascading the positive effect on the whole shipping industry, the planet and the people,” said Sean Fernback, President, Wärtsilä Voyage and Executive Vice President.

The latest creation of Steve Kozloff Designs is The Glory, a 170m, five-deck, ice class, triple-masted motor sailor with three Solid Sail mast systems, which can tilt 70 degrees to reduce the air draft from 244ft to 153ft.


The Glory is the latest design to fall under The Goliath Series; a range of customisable, purpose-built, steel- hulled ice class expedition yachts aimed at revolutionising the shipping, expedition and explorer market.


Bureau Veritas gave an Approval in Principle to Chantiers de l’Atlantique for its Solid Sail in March 2022. The Solid Sail system is the automated setting and dropping of the sails. Chantiers de l’Atlantique says the yacht can be pointed in any direction when raising or lowering the sails. The Solid Sail System has a 360-degree rotating mast and the Solid Sail material has a claimed 20-year-plus service life.


UPS TESTS SHORT SEA SHIPPING ACROSS NEW YORK HARBOR


United Parcel Service says it is running a pilot project to move trailers by barge across New York Harbor, an alternative to trucking on the region’s notoriously congested roadways.


The experimental shuttle runs a 4.5-mile route across the harbor between Red Hook in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Bayonne, N.J. That compares to a nominally 19-mile highway route through Staten Island and over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.


UPS is working on the project with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration, Red Hook Terminals, barge operator Hughes Marine, and the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
