Nautical Voice Magazine – January 2026 Edition
Welcome to the first issue of our quarterly magazine! We’ve packed this edition with 40 stories that matter to anyone working in shipping, ports, offshore energy, and marine technology.
What’s inside:
The IMO’s Net-Zero Framework just hit a major roadblock – we break down what this delay means for the industry. There’s also good news on the labor front, with the ILO introducing some much-needed protections for seafarers.
We investigate a fatal man overboard incident that exposes serious gaps in safety protocols, and explore how AI is changing everything from shipyard design to deep-sea mining operations.
Singapore continues leading the way with plans for a dual-purpose ammonia facility, while classification societies are approving innovative designs – from space-efficient methanol tanks to four-sail LNG carriers.
DNV’s latest Energy Transition Outlook paints a sobering picture: we’re making progress on decarbonization, but not nearly fast enough. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions are reshaping global shipping routes and creating fresh challenges for operators.
