We’re excited to share that Cavotec has secured three major shore power orders worth EUR 7 million for Italian ports. These projects, spanning multiple ports and vessel types, represent a significant leap toward greener and more sustainable maritime operations in Italy. With deliveries scheduled between early and mid-2026, these solutions will play a vital role in reducing emissions, improving air quality, and advancing sustainable port technologies across the region.

We’re happy to announce another great shore power order, following last week’s announcement of a significant order from Italy! This time, Cavotec has secured a €4 million shore power order from a leading global shipping company. This milestone marks the first retrofitting package for low-voltage vessels in the company's fleet, paving the way for reduced emissions and improved air quality in ports worldwide. At the core of this agreement is Cavotec's PowerFit containerised shore power system – a cutting-edge solution that minimizes retrofitting time and risks by enabling installation while vessels are sailing. Deliveries of these systems are scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025.

🌍🚐 The worldwide push for electrifying transport has often overlooked the paratransit sector. While progress is evident in the electrification of 2- and 3-wheelers in Africa and Asia, the transition for minibuses remains challenging. In East Africa, where the formalization of paratransit services and mass transit systems is underway, there is a unique opportunity to discuss and enable the electrification of minibuses. Right now, the first regional exchange on minibus electrification is taking place, bringing together government decision-makers, researchers, and experts to modernize the minibus sector across the continent. Here are some first impressions of this event, organized by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH's IKI-funded Mobilize Net-Zero Project in partnership with VREF Volvo Research and Educational Foundations, MobiliseYourCity, and TUMI. #ElectrifyParatransit #Minibuses #ExploringPopularTransport #ElectricMinibuses

The UK and Norway signed a Memorandum of Understanding earlier this year to work together on decarbonising the maritime sector. Artemis Technologies Ltd and Evoy talk about its value. The MoU on Maritime Cooperation, signed in February 2024, represents a significant milestone in the drive to decarbonise the maritime sector. For innovators like Iain Percy, CEO of Artemis Technologies, and Leif A. Stavøstrand, CEO of Evoy, the agreement offers exciting opportunities to lead the transition towards clean maritime transport. Both companies are already developing sustainable solutions that are redefining the future of workboats, ferries and crew transfer vessels. In this Q&A Iain Percy and Leif Stavøstrand explore what their MoU means for the industry and how they see the future of maritime transport.

RIX #RigaAirport was proud to participate in the Tech Tour European Hydrogen Valleys 2024 programme in Riga, emphasizing the critical role of hydrogen in driving innovation across the #aviation sector. During the event, Member of the Board of Riga Airport Normunds Feierbergs showcased Riga Airport as a prime location for testing hydrogen technologies, highlighting our involvement in the Interreg Baltic Sea Region project BSR HyAirport, where we collaborate with 16 partners from Scandinavia, the Baltic States, Poland, and Germany, focused on creating the preconditions for the use of green hydrogen in aviation: "Our goal is to achieve Net Zero by 2035. We invite innovative companies to use our airport as a testing ground for hydrogen production, refueling, and hydrogen-powered equipment, including heavy-duty transport vehicles. RIX Riga Airport - your sandbox for hydrogen technology testing - is closer than expected.” #HydrogenInnovation #NetZero #SustainableAviation #BSRHyAirport #RigaAirport #sustainability

To decarbonise its maritime industry, #Singapore has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Norwegian companies Evoy and Pascal Technologies for a high-speed electric harbour craft. This project will integrate cutting-edge technologies such as advanced electric propulsion and air lubrication systems to maximise energy efficiency and performance. Designed by SeaTech Solutions International (SSI) and built by Lita Ocean, the new vessel will set new standards for sustainable port operations and support Singapore's green transformation goals in maritime transport. #Sustainability #FutureOfMaritime #MaritimeIndustry #MarinePropulsion

My latest piece - green groups are now backing #efuels for #maritime and #aviation. This should come as no surprise to stakeholders. The era of policy brinksmanship (for lack of a better word), is over. Now, we are entering the era of implementation and due diligence. Perhaps, this will also be the era of the technocrat? #transport #sustainability #policy

New Studies on Hydrogen Use in Airports! 📚 Exciting progress in sustainable airport operations! We’ve completed two key studies on the use of gaseous hydrogen in airport machinery and terminal operations. These reports explore how hydrogen can make airports greener and more efficient. A big thank you to greecon CONSULTING and VTT for their valuable contributions to this research! 🙌 We’re now preparing brief summaries, which will be available soon via BSRHyAirport. Stay tuned for updates! #SustainableAviation #HydrogenEconomy #AirportInnovation #CleanEnergy

Port terminals play a key role in the global supply chain, but they are also major emitters of greenhouse gases. At Sener, we are transforming this challenge into an opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint with innovative technological solutions. 🌎 In the following document we show you the challenges, the alternatives and an example of success in the transition to more sustainable ports from Port de Barcelona and others port terminals. 🌱 The future of ports lies in green technology, digitalisation and strategic collaboration. Find out how we are leading the way towards ‘Zero Carbon’ terminals in this article by our colleague Juan Manuel Rodríguez González.: https://lnkd.in/d7jmHJVz #SenerMobility
