The latest Houlder “Navigator Survey” finds #shipowners face an ‘uncertainty dilemma’ – the path to #decarbonisation is unclear, but inaction isn’t an option. Agility is key. Read more: Houlder highlights ‘uncertainty dilemma’ stalling shipping’s decarbonisation | Houlder

Advances in processing power, #AI, & #data have resulted in smarter operational simulation tools, such as HOME™. This isn’t just about looking at how #ships do what they do; it’s about making them do it better. Learn more:

Slow steaming is a #ship operation strategy that reduces fuel consumption & #emissions by lowering engine power. Houlder's latest case study explores key considerations for incorporating #SlowSteaming into #sustainability plans. Read:

With #methanol uptake slowing down, #EnergyEfficiency must be prioritised, says @dnv_maritime CEO Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen. No matter the fuel #shipping deploys, fuel bills will increase, so fuel-agnostic fuel efficiency technologies are key. @RivieraMaritime:

“As onboard #CarbonCapture becomes more commonplace, almost every ocean-going #ship type has the potential to become a #CO2 carrier,” says Sean McLaughlin, Houlder’s Strategy Consultant. Read more @ShipManInter:

Houlder is joining the @IWSA_Secretary, collaborating with other parties to shape industry & government attitudes & policies towards wind-assisted propulsion. Houlder looks forward to partnering to drive #maritime towards a greener future. Learn more:

As #UK ramps up clean energy efforts and floating #OffshoreWind sector, addressing cost-efficiency challenges in scaling this tech is vital. Bold decisions & collaboration can unlock its potential to power #Britain #sustainably. https://t.co/TDGNf1NvZ6

As the #maritime industry evolves towards #ZeroEmission #shipping, transparency in #data sharing is essential to ensure these #technologies meet operational & #environmental goals. Iebum Shin, recently shared his insight with @ShipTechMag. Read:

“Verifying #EfficiencyTechnology performance, & including the wider technical & economic context, is key to progressing #maritime #decarbonisation,” says Jonathan Strachan, Houlder’s CTO, speaking to @RoyInstNavArch. Read more in The #NavalArchitect (£): https://t.co/T6vnQzZsEO
