Innovation: IINO Lines Turns Emerging Tech into Operational Advantage
Technology identification, trial and adoption is cornerstone to running an efficient, cost-effective maritime operation. But with the speed of technological change, particularly in regards to Artificial Intelligence (AI), the process is neither straight nor short. We visited recently with Kenji Togasaki, SVP, Innovation Office, IINO Lines (USA), who’s job it is with his IINO Lines team to scout new technologies and implement them onto the fleet with IINO technical group in Tokyo. Japanese shipowners are renowned globally, world leaders in the design, construction and operation of modern tonnage.
Shuttle Tankers: A Distinct Vessel Breed, a Niche Market
A wave of new investment in dedicated shuttle tankers has been spurred by the age profile of the existing fleet coupled with surging developments in the Brazilian offshore market.Constituting a specialized asset class, dynamic positioning (DP) shuttle tankers are a flexible and cost effective way of lifting and transporting oil from offshore fields, where subsea pipelines are not a practical or economically viable option.Production platforms or floating units are increasingly located in deepwater areas prone to challenging weather and hydrological conditions, and where high extraction rates generate demand for consistent
U.S. Fires to Disable Panama-Flag Ship Accused of Violating Iran Blockade
The U.S. military fired missiles to disable a Panama-flagged cargo ship Tuesday after the vessel allegedly ignored repeated warnings to stop while attempting to violate the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said a U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopter fired two Hellfire missiles at the engine room of Vela Nova, disabling the vessel’s steering capability.“As of Aug. 11, CENTCOM has redirected 55 commercial vessels attempting to run the blockade, disabled 3 non-compliant vessels, and boarded 2,” CENTCOM said.According to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, the incident occurred before dawn as U.S. forces sought to prevent the vessel from continuing its voyage.
