Sjøfolk har de siste årene måttet forholde seg til missilangrep, GPS-forstyrrelser og væpnede konflikter i områder som tidligere ble ansett som ordinære handelsruter.

Hva betyr det for global handel når handelsfartøy må seile gjennom områder preget av konflikt?

Dette diskuterer vi under Arendalsuka: Når skip blir uskyldige mål i konflikt og krig

AI is gaining traction across the maritime industry, but knowing where AI can add value remains a challenge for many organizations.

To help bridge that gap, DNV Maritime Academy has introduced new AI training courses that combine AI fundamentals with practical maritime applications, designed to equip maritime professionals with the knowledge and confidence to unlock the potential of AI powered tools and systems.

Our expert Dr. Piyush Raj explains why, if you're working in maritime today, building AI skills matters. Get in touch with our team to learn more about our upcoming Maritime AI courses here: https://www.dnv.com/training/applied-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-the-maritime-domain/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_video&utm_campaign=ma_26Q3_m-p_prom_ma_ai_training&utm_id=701bG00000pzgPzQAI

What happens when one the world’s largest heavy-lift ships meets the world’s largest battery-electric ferry?

Residents of Hobart, Tasmania, were treated to a rare sight this week as the MV Black Marlin transporter began the process of lifting the DNV-classed Hull 096 ferry.

Built by Incat for South American ferry company Buquebus, Hull 096, dubbed China Zorrilla, underwent a complex multi-day process to be loaded onto the heavy-lift vessel before it embarks on an approximately 40-day journey to South America.

The China Zorrilla, which can transport up to 2,100 passengers, is named after the Uruguayan theatre, film and television actress noted for her displays in the 20th century, and will service the Rio de la Plata route between Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, when it begins operation.

Peering through binoculars and nestled on camp chairs, onlookers encircle Hobart's River Derwent to behold one of the most complex marine undertakings in Tasmania's history.

Did you know that around 7% of global shipping GHG emissions occur during port stays?

In case you missed it, DNV launched a white paper focused on shore power at Posidonia 2026 that outlines shore power’s position as near‑term lever for emissions reduction at berth.

𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 looks at how shore power is shifting from a local environmental measure to a mainstream operational and regulatory issue for shipowners. It provides a structured overview of the regulatory landscape, highlighting how, as FuelEU Maritime requirements take effect from 2030 and port access regulations tighten across Europe, California and parts of Asia, that ships owners trading into managed regions must understand their exposure today.

Behind every successful cruise operation is a network of experts who continuously learn from each other.

That why we brought together passenger ship surveyors at our DNV Miami Cruise Center, who met with industry and regulatory stakeholders to share their experiences and discuss emerging challenges in the segment, with the goal of strengthening the expertise cruise operators can tap into anywhere in the world.

Participants heard directly from cruise line leaders on the evolving expectations of their customer and how this was impacting the industry's day-to-day operations. In addition, representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard also spoke about inspection and approval processes for foreign-flagged passenger vessels operating in the United States.

As cruise operations become increasingly complex, as new fuels, AI, battery and hybrid operations rise in use and escalating regulatory and public demands grow, the importance of this shared learning will only grow. DNV’s Miami Cruise Center is there to help facilitate these exchanges, merging global expertise with local insight and creating opportunities to build across the industry.

A practical pathway to offshore decarbonization can't stop at setting targets. It needs structures to keep the implementation and utilization of different emission reduction measures on track, and flexibility to adapt as technology or operating conditions change.

That's why our Abate notation starts from the design and operation of the asset, giving owners and operators a framework to assess the measures they are using to enhance the sustainability of their individual installation.

In one pilot, on the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO, we helped Altera Infrastructure to track their progress towards targets that made sense, while retaining the ability to shift to new tools and systems that could offer greater efficiencies in the future. And we built their feedback and the lessons learned, back into the notation.

The IMO’s adoption of the MASS Code marks an important milestone for remote control and autonomy in shipping.

As the first global framework of its kind, the Code provides a common basis for assessing new operating concepts, while supporting innovation through a structured, experience-based approach.

But why is the Code voluntary today? What role will remote operation centres play? And how will remote control and autonomous functions be adopted in practice?

In his latest Expert View article, Georgios Kasimatis examines what the MASS Code means for the future of shipping.
