108 FEATURE Manta Marine Technologies FuelOpt from Manta Marine Technologies has been developed to optimise operations and performance, especially when paired with insight from Manta Marine Technologies’ Fleet Performance team. FuelOpt, which has been installed over 500 time, optimises fuel efficiency through real-time automated adjustments to propulsion. It saves fuel by reducing the power usage of pumps and fans and continuously monitors operating conditions, automatically adjusting the speed of pump and fan motors to match realtime demand. Tailormade high and low-voltage turnkey shore power solutions are also available for all vessel types. Manta Marine Technologies’ systems comply with maritime regulations, decrease operational expenses and reduce emissions from day one with return-on-investment expected within two years. Alfred Maritime Alfred Maritime’s experience in integrated shipbuilding has led to the development of their artificial intelligencepowered Meyer Energy Management System, which is in use on the world’s biggest cruise vessels. The system delivers real-time onboard insights for energy production and consumption via intuitive crewfacing dashboards designed to aid situational awareness. An edge-based data pipeline turns raw signal data into energy key performance indicators (KPIs) for the ship’s major systems, while cloud-based machine learning targets for 32 KPIs can be customised to individual operators. Meanwhile, the shipyard or third-party energy efficiency team can access data to deliver additional actional insights, and advanced digital twin simulations provide forward looking advisory and scheduling of major equipment usage. NAPA NAPA believes the race to decarbonise the maritime industry must prioritise protecting people, especially as over half (54 per cent) of seafarers say decarbonisation has increased workload and stress, according to a 2024 survey by the International Seafarers Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN). NAPA’s digital safety toolkit, which includes electronic logbooks, automated permit-to-work systems, and dynamic checklists, helps ship operators manage the transition to alternative fuels and new technology, without compromising crew welfare. NAPA’s solutions have been designed to simplify workflows and enforce critical safety steps, reducing human error, boosting compliance, and enhancing realtime visibility of high-risk tasks. The system has been adopted by gas shipping company Anthony Veder and has saved 2,000 hours per vessel annually.
