OneOcean – the maritime industry’s largest digital navigation and compliance provider – is stepping up its operations in Japan with the creation of a new Tokyo office in Shibuya-Ku. OneOcean has had a strong presence in this key global shipping market for many years, with over 600 vessels there using its products, and sees major growth potential in the years to come.

Greensea, creator of OPENSEA®, the open architecture robotics platform for the marine industry, has developed a new hull crawler that easily attaches a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to a ship hull without magnetics and allows the operator to “drive” the ROV and payloads over the hull. Initial hull crawlers are designed to work exclusively with the VideoRay Mission Specialist Defender ROV.

Inmarsat, a world leader in global mobile satellite communications, is a founding member of Asia’s first ‘Decarbonizing Shipping’ initiative to harness the power of start-ups to meet UN targets on greenhouse gas emissions, which launched earlier this month.  

The impact of the global COVID-19 crisis has reinforced the value of DNV GL’s industry first remote survey services. With some 15,000 surveys and inspections undertaken since the launch in October 2018, customers have benefited from greater flexibility and efficiency through the continued digitalization and integration of DNV GL’s class services.  

Last month a Hydrex team removed a bow thruster from a 170-meter container ship. This was done during a stop in Rotterdam. The unit needed to be overhauled and the operation had to be carried out within a very short window that would fit the schedule available to the vessel’s owner.
 
The team mobilized to the ship’s location using one of our workboats loaded with all the needed equipment.
