Did you hear that "K" line (Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd), Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation, Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Sales Dept., and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. Marine & Engineering have joined our Digital Twin Project? Senior editor at ship.energy, Ariane Morrissey, spoke to Naoki Mizutani, Executive Vice President for NAPA Studios about how the project is progressing. By creating a secure platform for sharing 3D models, the project is aimed at increasing data sharing between shipyards and shipowners to enhance the use of digital twins in shipping. As Naoki highlighted, this can help shipowners make better operational decisions, on optimizing maintenance, voyage planning, and reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

🇬🇷 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting the NAPA Shipping Solutions Forum in Athens, Greece! With practical insights and actionable #strategies for #decarbonization, we sparked meaningful discussions on driving change and shaping a sustainable future for shipping. Digitalization is undeniably a strategic driver for long-term sustainability. From optimizing fleet operations to collecting the right quality and quantity of data - data-driven decisions are the foundation for progress. The presentations shared by our speakers showed how we can put these strategies into action today! A big thank you to our speakers Savvina Giannioti, Nikolaos Stavrou, Matthew Maheras, Baiqian Jiang, Ossi Mettälä , and Artemis Flori. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and driving innovation together. #Maritime #VoyageOptimization #DigitalTransformation #SustainableShipping #Digitalization

Shipyard digitalization has just reached a whole new level. We’ve partnered with one of the biggest shipbuilders in Europe, Chantiers de l'Atlantique, to enhance the efficiency of its hull design process by co-developing advanced 3D software and digital workflows. Our collaborative agreement will help digitalize the detailed design process at Chantiers de l’Atlantique. By integrating NAPA Steel with a software used in the production design stage, the combined solution will enable teams of engineers and naval architects to communicate swiftly and work together from the basic design stage, with hull design and outfitting, through to production design. Speaking on the announcement, our CEO, Mikko Kuosa said: “It has been an exciting journey with Chantiers de l’Atlantique to take their digital shipyard vision to new heights. Co-developing a solution that makes greater use of 3D-based digital tools and workflows is the way forward for ship design, unlocking a new level of collaboration and efficiency."

Pekka Pakkanen and I had a great opportunity to visit Aalto University to give a lecture on Shipping and Emission Regulations, and how that connects to today's ship design. A few points that were discussed: effects of rotor sails and other energy saving devices, cost of incoming EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime penalties, and what ship designers can do to have designs that better comply with the upcoming emission regulations while staying cost competitive. For those who are interested, there are great case studies on NAPA's website on how to reduce your emissions and fuel costs using rotor sails, especially when combined with voyage optimization.

This International Women’s Day, we recognize and celebrate the talented women powering the shipping industry and beyond. Diversity and inclusion are key to fostering successful businesses, and we’re so proud of the amazing women in our NAPA team around the world. Their expertise, resilience and innovation continue to shape a more innovative, safe, and sustainable maritime future for everyone. But progress doesn’t happen on its own. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, is a call to push forward. Advancing gender equality in maritime requires real commitment, collaboration, and systemic change, both onboard and onshore. To the women and allies in our industry driving progress every day: we see you, we appreciate you, and we support the work still ahead. Let’s keep moving the industry forward! Let’s keep up the momentum to achieve a more diverse future for all! 🩵 #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #Maritime #Diversity #Inclusion
