Since our last update, the number of participating vessels has increased from 278 to 303. This is more than doubling of the vessels that participated in the campaign last year! The industry-wide effort to drive #decarbonisation is showing fantastic results, with innovative initiatives and remarkable engagement from vessels across the board. The main purpose of the campaign is to create collaboration and awareness around emission reductions. That is also why this year we have decided to invite everyone to follow the development of the campaign...drumroll🥁...introducing the Maress Campaign Dashboard. This industry-first tool is now open for everyone in the industry to track the collective progress. Updated daily, it provides a transparent and exciting view of the leaders in each category, showcasing the close race towards efficiency gains. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to see who's leading the charge and to join the movement towards a greener future.

Dare to share! There´s a paradigm shift going on! When I came into maritime industry from other fields six years ago I was surprised by the limited data sharing in the value chain. Very few players were willing to share vessel/fleet emissions and efficiency data, and most companies kept all cards close to the chest. This has now turned 180 degrees in the #offshore sector, and the vessel owners are showing that the best in class are seeing it in everyone´s best interest to be as open as possible. It helps the industry at large in being more efficient, but at the same time it also directly benefits the individual companies daring to share - meeting stakeholder expectations about transparency and staying ahead of the curve wrt regulations. This kind of emissions data #transparency is a complete paradigm shift and a key enabler to reach the industry emission targets in time. Standing ovation from me to the vessel owners and crews participating in this campaign - for paving the way and daring to share. And also to my stellar colleagues here in VPS for making this campaign happen + creating an awesome visual collab tool.

Gernot Ruppelt, Ardmore’s newly appointed CEO, recently spoke with SAFETY4SEA, outlining his key priorities as he takes on the role. Asked what the industry can do to help engage seafarers as the Energy Transition progresses, he said: “In the maritime industry, engaging seafarers in the energy transition is not just about talking about them but, more importantly, talking to them. Seafarers are at the forefront of where energy efficiency truly matters, and they often have invaluable insights and ideas. Engaging them directly in dialogue and actively listening to their feedback is crucial.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eXvXQstt #ArdmoreShipping #Maritime #ShipsAndShipping #Seafarers #CEO

Great session today with Plymouth and South Devon Freeport stakeholder forum discussing #netzero strategies. This Freeport has the added bonus of being within the context of the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park and wider Maritime UK South West Ocean Technology cluster - a recipe for material positive change at pace!    Key takeaways include the need to account for threats and opportunities across the E2E value chain, ashore and afloat - with enabling actions being critical to decarb success e.g. transport and logistics uplifts to avoid emission creation. As ever, skills and talent availability restraint are significant aspects to achieving target state e.g. for handling & use of alternative fuels, and technology development, deployment & operation.  But the appetite for change is apparent #wecandothis #collaboration #decarbonisation #maritime #coastalpowerhouse

Bakker Sliedrecht has successfully implemented Energy Storage Systems (ESS) on two of Boskalis' Diving Support Vessels, the BOKA Atlantis and BOKA Da Vinci. This innovative technology has reduced fuel consumption and emissions by up to 20%, while also providing power and energy storage capabilities when the vessels are docked. The conversion of both vessels was completed in a record time at the Boskalis Service Center in Rotterdam. Bakker Sliedrecht's comprehensive scope of supply included a battery pack, power converter system, transformer, switchboard panels, and a sophisticated ESS control system with multiple functionalities. Andy Waterstreet, Project Director at Bakker Sliedrecht, highlighted the efficient execution of the project: "We managed to limit the downtime to less than 2 months, including comprehensive offline preparation and in-house testing." This project underscores the importance of innovation and collaboration in reducing environmental impact and enhancing efficiency in the maritime sector.
