Vedam Design hosted a webinar focused on the ‘Approach to Design and Installation of WAPS, AMP, and OCCS’. The event delved into these technologies and their implementation across various vessel types. It explored the design and installation process, highlighting the importance of integrating stakeholders and optimising project timelines and costs as well.

In the ever-evolving maritime industry, transporting hazardous chemicals like Methanol and PPD presents unique challenges. However, recent advancements in engineering have opened new possibilities for safely carrying these substances onboard vessels. Vedam is proud to be at the forefront of this innovation, as demonstrated by our recent groundbreaking project in modifying an OSV vessel to meet the stringent chartering requirements of an oil major.

The shipping industry is facing immense pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Hybrid propulsion systems are emerging as a powerful solution in this critical journey.

The global shipping industry plays a crucial role in our interconnected world, but it also faces a significant challenge: reducing its contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Shipping accounts for 2-3% of global GHG emissions, nearly equivalent to Germany, the world's sixth biggest emitter. This figure is under increased scrutiny by international organizations, and the latest targets set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) highlight the urgency for emission reduction, aiming for net zero by 2050.
