New Initiative Aims to Transform Shipping Decarbonisation
A groundbreaking venture has emerged to assist shipowners in converting decarbonisation strategies into viable retrofit and conversion projects. Navigate Shipping Partners (NSP), headquartered in London, positions itself as a comprehensive resource for vessel upgrades and energy transition initiatives, merging technical, engineering, and financial expertise in one platform.
Streamlining Fleet Decarbonisation Efforts
Under the leadership of sustainability expert Emrah Durusut, NSP collaborates with notable partners including DNV Maritime Advisory, Brevik Engineering, and Besiktas Shipyard, one of Europe’s busiest ship repair facilities. This alliance aims to simplify the often complex and risky process of fleet decarbonisation, a significant challenge for shipowners facing stricter emissions regulations and uncertain newbuild options.
NSP’s innovative model provides an integrated approach from concept to execution. It encompasses advisory services, fuel and technology selection, engineering, and shipyard implementation. Additionally, projects will benefit from structured financing and incentives available at both national and EU levels. Durusut emphasizes that while the maritime industry is filled with strategic reports, there is a lack of actionable projects. “We are not just advisors — we are an integrated delivery engine that turns regulatory challenges into profitable opportunities,” he stated. By combining top-tier technical advisory, naval architecture, and execution capabilities, NSP aims to eliminate fragmentation and deliver tangible returns on investment.

With two decades of experience in net-zero transition strategies, Durusut envisions NSP as a bridge between decarbonisation plans and their practical application. Initially, the company will focus on retrofit and conversion projects for existing vessels, with plans to expand into large-scale fleet transition programs in the future.
