The Port of Riga has hosted the first demonstration of innovative marine technologies developed in Latvia – “5G Solutions for the Digitalization of the Maritime Sector”.

Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” LINE) has announced that phase one of the development of “Seawing” automated kite system utilizing wind power being developed by OCEANICWING, a subsidiary of “K” LINE in France, was successfully completed in June 2025.

This is the first time ABB brings the benefits of NINVA to the global marine sector, supporting decarbonization and energy efficiency

The groundbreaking pilot marks the first deployment of a centrifugal OCCS system in maritime operations

Technology to measure water in fuel will contribute to minimising costs associated with using methanol, reducing the barriers to shipping's energy transition.

According to Wärtsilä's tests, the new 'Wärtsilä Carbon capture solution' is proven to reduce vessel CO2 emissions by up to 70 percent

NextDF technology reduces the environmental impact of vessels that use LNG as fuel, without compromising on performance or operational stability.

Höegh Evi, Wärtsilä and partners successfully complete development of the world’s first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker

The solution uses video cameras installed on Fugro’s SEAWATCH® Wind Lidar and other metocean buoys

Extensive sea trials have demonstrated that this system can effectively detect and classify both underwater and surface threats

When such systems are installed on ships, they are expected to be effective in reducing CO2 emissions through the use of wind power.

Solution will help to improve safety and operational efficiency, reduce unplanned downtime, and minimize risks for cargo damage and loss at sea, which can lead to marine pollution
