We also round up the latest incidences and responses to piracy and launch the Innovation in Energy Efficiency Awards to celebrate a wide range of new, eco-friendly marine propulsion and power systems.
We take a look at the largest hybrid vessel ever built, the Prinsesse Benedikte, nicknamed the Prius of the Sea, which is set to transport passengers with a new environmentally friendly and cost-effective lithium battery.
We also profile two new cruise ship, the Norwegian Breakaway, the largest ship ever to homeport in New York, and the Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas. We take a look at the ambitious plans for the Stad Skipstunnel in Norway, the world’s first tunnel to accommodate ships up to 16,000 tonnes. Moreover, we explore the controversial laws governing the dismantling of ships and ask how all parties involved can work together to find a more sustainable solution.
