SAFETY4SEA Log I April 2025 I ISSUE 102 I 5 safety4sea.com As innovative technologies continue to emerge and ships become increasingly connected, the maritime industry faces the challenge of not only embracing these advancements but also ensuring that cybersecurity remains a top priority. Striking a delicate balance between pushing the boundaries of innovation and maintaining pragmatism is crucial, especially when dealing with digital technologies that have the potential to reshape how we operate. One of the most compelling topics today is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the maritime sector. While AI offers vast potential, it also comes with its own set of limitations. A key concern is the phenomenon of ‘AI hallucinations,’ where AI generates patterns or outputs that don’t exist, potentially leading to inaccurate or misleading results. On a more positive note, this edition brings exciting updates from the world of green shipping. Our coverage of the landmark GREEN4SEA forum in Athens, which concluded with the prestigious GREEN4SEA Awards, showcases the growing commitment to sustainability across the industry. Additionally, we continue our exploration of alternative fuels with our latest infographic series, which began in the previous issue. This edition focuses on FAME biofuel. Balancing innovation, sustainability, and safety will be essential to the future of shipping. Stay tuned to safety4sea.com for more updates and insights as we continue to navigate these changes.
