A new report from the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP), supported by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA), reveals that the "industrial sunbelt" of developing economies will lead the energy transition. 

According to IMCA, an economic impact assessment by PA Consulting highlights the critical role of the marine contracting sector in advancing Europe’s energy transition, digital security, and economic resilience.

DNV has published its "Energy Transition Outlook CCS to 2050" report, forecasting that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is reaching a pivotal moment, with global capacity set to quadruple by 2030 and long-term growth driven by hard-to-decarbonize sectors like shipping. 

Adopting digital systems to help container ships get in line to offload their cargo at busy ports appears to reduce GHG emissions by 16-24%.

On May 28, 2025, the Smart Maritime Council released Version 2.0 of its Standardised Vessel Dataset (SVD), now incorporating emissions reporting capabilities.

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) published a report focusing on the impact of shipping emissions in the Arctic.

The Global Ro-Ro Community (GRC) has launched new guidelines to calculate GHG emission intensity from Ro-Ro ships, such as car carriers.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) made history by approving the IMO Net-Zero Framework, but more steps are needed.

A new study VesselBot reveals that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at major global ports are still rising, despite advances in technology and sustainability initiatives.

Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) has validated the Blue Visby Solution, a platform that reduces shipping emissions by about 15% by optimizing vessel arrival times to avoid unnecessary idling at ports.
