Offshore Technology
Offshore Technology explores the systems, engineering practices, innovations and challenges, driving offshore operations across energy and marine sectors. Topics you can expect include subsea engineering, floating production systems, offshore wind technologies, digital monitoring and control systems, and asset integrity management.
Delve into analysis, and insights on emerging technologies improving safety, efficiency, and performance in increasingly harsher offshore environments in the journey to cleaner sustainable energy sources.
The acceleration of electrification
Power & Sustainability (Newsletter)
Powering shortsea trade requires a lot less electricity than might be expected. Pictured: Yara Birkeland, the World's first fully electric and autonomous containership. Image: Yara
Advances in battery technology make it possible for short-sea ships and feeder vessels to electrify. That simultaneously offers the possibility to cut costs and emissions and improve vessel efficiency
LNG, a transitional fuel or GHG?
Power & Sustainability (Newsletter)
Technology, investment and progress made with LNG as a transitional fuel should be acknowledged believes Dominguez. Pictured: LNG-powered containership, CMA CGM Jacques Saadé. Image: VesselFinder
Savings of more than 50% on fleet-wide emissions can be achieved using cheap modifications on ships. Compared to the cost of building new LNG powered vessels, there is no contest. And the cuts to carbon emissions are twice as high
Wind Propulsion 2026 overview: Momentum meets method

RINA’s Wind Propulsion 2026 conference brought together industry leaders to examine how wind-assisted propulsion is moving from concept to fleet-level implementation
Sallaum Lines moves in on net-zero with newbuild PCTC Ocean Breeze
Ocean Breeze is the first of six China-built, dual-fuel LNG PCTCs scheduled for handover to Sallaum Lines by 2027
A series of six LNG-enabled pure car and truck carriers are set to play a crucial role in Sallaum Lines’ efforts to decarbonise its transportation operations
New approach to shipbuilding with LSM deal
