At this year’s SMM, Anschütz introduced the Standard 100 MF to the market for the first time, marking the next step in the evolution of its gyrocompass portfolio. With the Standard 100 MF, Anschütz brings vibrational gyro principles derived from hemispherical resonator gyro (HRG) systems such as the Standard 30 MF to a broader range of commercial vessels.
Vibrating gyro technology derived from proven HRG systems, maintenance-free, easy to integrate and designed for commercial fleetsAnschütz will present a new-generation gyrocompass at SMM, introducing the Standard 100 MF to the market. The new system applies proven vibrating gyro principles derived from established gyrocompass systems based on the Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG)
For much of the maritime industry, the energy transition has been discussed in terms of alternative fuels – primarily LNG, methanol, ammonia, or hydrogen. Batteries have often been treated as a narrow tool for limited-purpose vessels, such as water taxis and harbor craft. That view is becoming too constrained.The importance of batteries comes not from technology enthusiasm alone.
Wärtsilä has signed a long-term overhaul agreement with Sweden’s Erik Thun Group, covering maintenance and technical support across its fleet.The agreement, developed with fleet management partner MF Shipping Group, includes overhaul services, field and technical services, workshop support and spare parts supply.
Anschütz has successfully delivered and commissioned its SYNAPSIS Integrated Navigation System (INS) on the first newbuild tanker constructed for German Tanker Shipping GmbH & Co.KG at Xiamen Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd (XSI).TMS Seadevil, handed over in January, is the lead vessel in a program of six modern 41
Nereida Energy has signed its first contract to supply maritime battery systems with a total capacity of 17MWh to Frydenbø Elmarin. The systems will be installed on two ferries owned by Vestlandske Trafikk, which will be converted to electric propulsion for operation in the Geirangerfjord starting summer 2026.
Satellite communication solution providers Intellian Technologies and Iridium Communications have launched Intellian’s new Iridium Certus® GMDSS Systems.The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is an internationally mandated safety system established by the IMO. It is estimated that over 80,000 vessels worldwide are required to be GMDSS compliant.
