Shipping has ambitious targets to decarbonise but it will only be able to reach those goals with the help of those who operate the vessels – seafarers.
When it comes to decarbonisation in shipping much of the talk is around new technology, engines and the availability of alternative fuels. But for these alternative fuelled vessels to work there is a very vital piece of the puzzle – trained crews to operate them. The key role of the seafarer in shipping’s decarbonisation voyage led to the formation of the Maritime Just Transition Task Force.
In this latest In Focus episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast you will be hearing more about the Maritime Just Transition Task Force from two of its members. Joining us today on the Seatrade Maritime Podcast are Kulsoom Jafri, Lead Campaigner, Seafarers and Inland Navigation International Transport Workers' Federation and Arvind Natrajan, Senior Manager, Marine Department, International Chamber of Shipping.
In a conversation between Kulsoom, Arvind, and Marcus Hand Editor of the Seatrade Maritime News you will hear about:

In the second episode of our series with Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, Thomas Pauly General Manager, future portfolio and market intelligence, and Henrik Lundgren, General Manager, new technologies and systems architecture delve into more detail on the Next Level Shaft Line Solutions range with host and Seatrade Maritime News correspondent, Gary Howard.
The conversation begins with a look at how Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions gathers feedback from customers on their wants, needs, and challenges along the shaft line, and the methods the company uses to turn that data into prioritised input for product development with a direct impact on product specifications.
Exploring some of the outputs of that process, the guests discuss Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions’s products in greater detail, along with the operational and commercial benefits of each technology.
Thomas covers the 35-year history of the Wärtsilä Airguard Seal, the benefits of having everything from rubber production to R&D and testing in-house, and the product’s evolution to the 10-year Airguard Seal.
Henrik shares his expertise on the IntelliSafe bearing and the extended lifecycle it offers, along with a real world example of how the bearing’s amber alarm helped crew on a large oil tanker to identify a minor shaft line issue that would otherwise have gone unnoticed until the problem had worsened.
Tune in to the episode for these and further insights into Wärtsilä’s Shaft Line Monitoring Equipment and EvoTube concept. Visit the Wärtsilä website for more information on its Next Level Shaft Line Solutions.

Industrial cranes are business-critical assets across supply chains, from manufacturing to port operations on the landside, and onboard ships from heavy lift vessels to geared bulkers and cruise ships at sea. In this episode, Seatrade Maritime News senior correspondent Gary Howard talks crane safety with Unique Group's Ed Arias, VP-Water Weights, and Sales Representative, Tad Dunville.
Ed and Tad share their deep understanding of the regulations and safety considerations around crane design, testing, and operation, including the advances in technology enabling greater insights into the condition of crane components, and the potential challenges in applying cutting edge technology to older equipment.
The guests take a detailed look at the regulatory landscape around crane installation, operation, and maintenance from a US, European, and international perspective, underlining the value of working with market experts to optimise asset uptime and maximise safety for workers and businesses alike.
The conversation explores contrasting approaches to technology development, OSHA's General Duty Clause, and the role Water Weights® play in load testing crane installations.

Nuclear power as an alternative fuel for maritime is gaining serious momentum as a pathway to zero emissions for the industry.
One of those at the vanguard of trying to commericalise nuclear for shipping has been Mikal Boe, CEO of Core Power, a company he founded in 2018.
It is over three years ago since Mikal last appeared on the Seatrade Maritime Podcast and things have clearly moved on a long way in that time.
“I think the biggest milestone over the last three year has been the insertion of nuclear into the agenda at the IMO. It's not quite there yet, but it is working its way through the system and we believe in 2025, become part of the work stream at the IMO, and similarly at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna we've now got maritime firmly on the agenda. So that aligns the two big standards, organisations for maritime and nuclear, around this topic of putting this at sea in a safe way,” Mikal tells the podcast.
In a conversation with Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, Mikal you will hear about:

As the shipping industry scrutinises every aspect of onboard operations to improve operational efficiency and environmental performance, Paul Nailor of Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions discusses the company’s shaft line innovations.
From doubling the overhaul period of its Airguard Seal to a complete rethink of the stern tube set up, Paul outlines the industry challenges that led to the development of Wärtsilä's Next Level Shaft Line Solutions, as well as each technology's operational benefits.
As the industry trend moves from oil to water lubrication, Paul speaks on the flexibility of Wärtsilä's EvoTube — which allows the ability to convert from oil to water lubrication — as well as its space saving benefits and advanced yet simplified design.
The conversation explores the significance of maintenance and component life cycles, highlighting how Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions was able to extend the service interval of its 10-year Airguard Seal, the the inherent longevity of its IntelliSafe bearing, and the actionable insights offered by its Shaft Line Monitoring Equipment.
Sustainability credentials and customer feedback are discussed for each of the technologies, with future episodes set to focus on the technical details of the Next Level Shaft Line Solutions, and experiences of the products out in the field.
