Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Ship Technology Global magazine.

Although iceberg collisions aren’t common, those involving floating ice are more likely. In our cover story of this issue, we look at a new research project that can detect icebergs and floating ice with an impressive 94% success rate.

In this edition, we also focus on the cruise industry, learning about the Asian market's post-pandemic growth and how cruise operators will have to prepare to adhere to new emissions regulations.

Further, we consider how the bunkering of new fuel types will impact route planning, the ramifications of the resolutions of the Baltimore bridge crash legal cases, and what Donald Trump's election will mean for the maritime sector.

For all this and the latest maritime industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData, read on. And don't forget to stay up to date with everything at @ShipTechMag.
