The Motorship’s Propulsion & Future Fuels is the leading international conference on powering shipping’s emissions-cutting ambitions.
The 2026 Conference will take place from 8th - 10th December in Hamburg, Germany and will offer a meeting place to learn, discuss and knowledge-share the latest developments in efficient power and propulsion technology plus alternative low flashpoint and low carbon fuels.
Find news and in-depth coverage of advances in digitalisation here, including remote monitoring, condition based maintenance, digital twins, and the efficiency savings offered by AI tools. Our coverage focuses on the practical effects of digitalisation upon the operation of existing vessels, but we maintain a watching brief on advances in autonomy, and semi-autonomous systems.
Tom Mellor, head of Technical Partnerships at the UKHO International spoke to The Motorship about how simulator trials are demonstrating S-100 navigation data’s potential to improve maritime safety and operational efficiency
The transition facing the marine lubricant industry today represents one of the most significant shifts in decades.
