Autonomous subsea robotics and software solutions innovator Nauticus Robotics, Inc. has announced the successful completion of the first prototype of its internally developed next-generation electric manipulator, purpose-built for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and next-generation robotic systems.

Bureau Veritas | Marine & Offshore has granted approval in principle to Singapore shipyard group Seatrium for a 30MW floating data centre concept.

A successful demonstration proves little unless robotic vessels can continue operating through heat, corrosion, equipment failures and communications disruption, writes Joe Robinson from Ocean Infinity.

Maritime risk intelligence specialist Dryad Global - Risk Intelligence Planning Tools & Cyber Solutions for Maritime has launched Verihelm, a new platform designed to help companies track trade flows, identify disruption risks and assess exposure across shipping and supply chains.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲? 🔍📈 That question sits behind many of the conversations happening across shipping right now. The industry has spent years exploring new technologies, running pilots, and testing new ways of working and while interest remains high, as adoption matures the discussion is changing. It's no longer enough to show what technology can do. The real question is what value it creates! 💭 As our MD Ingrid Kylstad told SplashTech: "The conversation can quickly become about cost lines instead of outcomes." That shift from costs to outcomes may be one of the most important changes taking place in maritime technology today. Whether the goal is reducing demurrage, improving vessel utilization, cutting fuel consumption, or making better commercial decisions, success is increasingly measured by results. Technology buyers want proof, not promises. In the article, Kylstad points to one customer that reduced demurrage from high double-digit levels to single digits after digitalizing its workflows over a two-year period. It's a reminder that meaningful returns rarely come overnight, but from systematically improving the way decisions are made. ⚙️ 🔗 Read more in the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eEnP6sW9 #Shipping #Technology #AI
