One of the world's largest container vessels, 'COSCO shipping Pisces', that has a capacity of 20.000 TEU, was docked at Piraeus port on February 15, after voyaging for one month from China. This is the vessel's first voyage, after its delivery on January 15.

After Oceana's investigation, the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) announced its decision to keep the fish factory vessel 'Vladivostok 2000' (previously named Damanzaihao) on the list of illegal unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing vessels. In the meantime, the Organisation warned China, Panama and Cook Islands for providing assistance to the vessel.

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. confirmed the successful launch of two satellites, launched into a 580km sun-synchronous orbit onboard the PSLV launch vehicle, which are expected to ease monitoring of marine environment and provide direct radar ship detection information.

An oil and gas decommissioning consortium was created, aiming to offer an end-to-end solution from industry leaders, in order to reduce the decommissioning burden, risk and cost for operators. The new global decommissioning consortium includes LR, WorleyParsons, and Ardent. This consortium includes experts covering all aspects of decommissioning.

UK-based University of Aberdeen, WFS Technologies, and OGIC launched a joint technology project to design and construct the world’s first ExtremeEdge OLM (On-line Monitoring) system for offshore subsea and platform structures. The cooperation seeks to deliver the first generation of real time fatigue monitoring system driven by AI.

The Japan Coastguard announced the expansion of their Wave Glider fleet to the 9th Regional District, headquartered in Niigata, Japan, in an attempt to enhance their commitment to ocean monitoring. Current and historical oceanographic data helps the commercial and tourism industries with have an insight into weather patterns and ocean conditions.

Based on vessel movement patterns, the Global Fishing Watch algorithm identified more than 70,000 commercial fishing vessels, the sizes and engine powers of these vessels, what type of fishing they engaged in, and when and where they fished down to the hour and kilometer.

SM Line will use the freight monitoring technology to enhance service quality along its key Asia-US shipping route, thus becoming the first Korean container shipping company, monitoring the condition of items in a container in real time. Namely, they will be able to collect the temperature and humidity of the container and track it on shore in real time.

The benefits of designing ships for the conditions they face at sea are self-evident, but using voyage simulations and historical data means design decisions can be optimised for vessel performance, according to Foreship.

UK-based Penetration testing experts Pen Test Partners said that there is possibility hackers to deliberately cause an imbalance of cargo without the crew being aware by manipulating the loading data of its hull stress monitoring systems (HSMS).
