FEATURED PARTNERS Manta Marine Technologies Manta Marine Technologies offers a comprehensive portfolio of maritime solutions to enable greener shipping through intelligent technologies. They range from vessel optimisation solutions – such as FuelOpt and Fleet Analytics – to marine electrification technologies, like turnkey shore power and variable frequency drive solutions, and lifecycle services, including maintenance, conversions and upgrades. Headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with offices in Sweden, Poland and China, Manta Marine Technologies works closely with shipowners, yards and naval architects to advance sustainable shipping. www.mantamarine.com FarSounder FarSounder’s Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar provides a real-time 3D underwater image, enabling passenger vessels to avoid underwater obstacles and safely navigate unknown waters. Argos sonars operate at navigationally significant ranges out to over half a nautical mile, detecting whales, ice, rocky pinnacles, coral reefs and more. Shipowners can also build a map of the seafloor and share it across the fleet. Users can share seafloor data anonymously with global ocean mapping initiatives, and in return, they receive an aggregate of seafloor data collected by other Argos users across the FarSounder fleet. www.farsounder.com Global Ports Holding Global Ports Holding (GPH) is the world’s largest cruise port operator. Spanning across four continents, GPH operates 33 cruise ports in 21 countries, welcoming over 22 million cruise passengers annually. GPH’s expertise in cruise port operations is underpinned by its proprietary operating framework, which consistently implements global best practices across its network of cruise ports. GPH’s strategic approach and substantial investment power position it to drive the transformation of cruise ports, ensuring they can accommodate the growing number and size of cruise ships. www.globalportsholding.com Le Havre Croisières Le Havre is a marquee call in the heart of Normandy, France, the cradle of Impressionism, with a World Heritage-listed city centre and a seaside resort.
