NAPA

🇬🇷 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.

Bunkerspot's annual ship.energy survey is live and our Executive Vice President, Shipping Solutions, Pekka Pakkanen, was among the industry leaders invited to share his thoughts. From CII revisions to the impact of FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS on shipping, Pekka went into detail on the impact of these changes on the industry. He explained: ‘Looking at the big picture, environmental regulations and economic measures are expanding and becoming more impactful. In this regulatory landscape, NAPA Voyage Optimization – which use real-time data on weather and sea conditions to evaluate and adapt a vessel’s course – not only slashes fuel expenses and emissions but also reduce the costs of regulatory compliance. In today’s market, these solutions are no longer “nice to have” but rather a commercial necessity." Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/erjGx4Gd #Maritime #ShipsandShipping #Regulations #Decarbonisation
