Welcome to the latest issue of Ship Technology Global magazine.
In our cover story this issue, we report on the christening of Swan Hellenic's new vessel, the SH Diana. The new ship joins an SH fleet that has been mired with delays due to the knock-on effects of the pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. CEO Andrea Zito opens up to us about the company's struggles.
Also in the cruise sector, we speak to Disney Cruise Line’s VP for safety, security, and environmental policy, about Disney Wish, which features a host of new solutions to reduce its environmental impact. We also look at the journey that the maritime sector is travelling on its way to net-zero shipping, highlighting the new technologies that will accelerate the shift to carbon neutrality.
Elsewhere, we profile Candela's new electric contre console vessel, speak to Aloft Systems about its novel wind propulsion solutions, and find out why collaborative ecosystems are vital for maritime data democratisation.
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 and @FutureCruiseMag.
