Will shipping actually hit net-zero by 2050? And what about -20% emissions by 2030? Will EU ETS be a success or a failure, and is the IMO doing a good job? These were the questions we put to our expert panel of shipowners and energy experts during our shipping event at COP28. DeepSea’s CEO Konstantinos was joined by: Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners; Katerina Bodouroglou, MD of STEM Shipping; Stamatis Tsantanis, CEO of Seanergy Maritime; and Vassilis Triantafyllos, Ene

Greek Prime Minister meets with CEO of automation giant Nabtesco following Groundbreaking Investment in Greek AI company DeepSea Technologies ATHENS, GREECE – September 5, 2023 – A delegation from the Nabtesco corporation, one of the world’s leading robotics and motion control companies, met with Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis and other senior officials on the 5th September 2023, following the company’s acquisition of Greek AI specialist DeepSea Technologies in July this yea

As the shipping industry grapples with the challenges of rapid digitalisation, it’s more important than ever that we strive for ever greater accuracy, robustness and transparency when it comes to new technology. This year it was an expert team from IBM Research in Dublin that won the Shifts Challenge 2023, presenting a strong approach to modelling vessel behaviour using AI. In this interview with Shivani Tomar, Pre-Doc AI Researcher at IBM Research, we delve into the team’s j

DeepSea Technologies, the award-winning Al-led maritime technology company and energy efficiency experts, has announced that it is making a full vessel data set and DeepSea’s automatic model evaluation tool available for free to the shipping industry for the next 12 months. This is the first time that such tools have ever been made available to the public – and allows innovation, research and technical departments with strong data science capabilities to start exploring AI. T

A Q&A with DeepSea’s Director of AI Research, Antonis Nikitakis Q: What is your most exciting piece of AI research at the moment ? Explainability is critical for building trust in AI systems. Therefore, our most exciting AI research currently involves researching methods that improve models’ explainability – to enable ever-greater trust to be built amongst stakeholders. AI can be seen as a “black box” whose input and operations may not be transparent and understandable to ou

Ask yourself one question: do you understand your vessels’ performance accurately enough to really optimise anything? Shipping is still a world of ‘low definition’. According to our survey: Most shipping companies understand their vessels’ behaviour only “quite well” Most shipping companies have only “somewhat accurate” fuel consumption predictions Most shipping companies do not/cannot reassess voyage plans regularly, despite the constantly changing reality There is still a l

Marilena Apostolidou, Eurobulk’s Environmental & Performance Compliance Manager, shares her views on sustainability and decarbonisation in shipping. Q: What does it mean to be a Performance & Environmental Compliance Manager? Environmental compliance means adopting and implementing environmental requirements – national and international environmental rules, laws, and regulations. Environmental concerns have raised compliance standards across the globe. Especially in the Shi

Weather routing, evolved. Adding vessel performance into the weather routing equation has an incredible effect: it turns traditional weather routing into a powerful decarbonisation tool that can make your vessels 8% more efficient on average – with almost no up-front investment and little disruption to existing processes.

A landmark success story in Voyage Optimisation Wallenius Wilhelmsen is rolling DeepSea’s AI-powered Performance Routing solution out across its entire fleet of 120+ ships. This decision follows a rigorous trial process. The results were impressive: a 6.9% improvement in vessel efficiency and more than 170,000 tonne predicted reduction in emissions across the fleet. Read the case study published by Wallenius Wilhelmsen and DeepSea to learn: How Wallenius Wilhelmsen implement

A Q&A with Konstantinos Kyriakopoulos, CEO and Co-founder of DeepSea Technologies There’s been a lot of news recently about “sentient” artificial intelligence. Will DeepSea’s AI be sentient any time soon? Sentience is the ability to experience emotions and sensations. Machine learning algorithms are trained on data – pairs of inputs and outputs – and they learn how to reconstruct the outputs from inputs by themselves. A lot of AI nowadays is trained on inputs and outputs tha

Artificial Intelligence. It can do many things: understand whalesong, compose film scripts on-demand, and decrease the fuel consumption of a ship at sea. However, “AI” has also quickly become the greatest buzzword of the 21st century – wooing customers, investors and governments alike. It’s vital that serious researchers working to popularise this exciting approach continue to pursue rigorous methods of proving the real value of what they’re creating. In fact, we believe eve

Never heard of distributional shift? If you’re in shipping, you should read our post on what it is and why you need to know! Put simply – it’s one of the greatest challenges to effectively harnessing data, including the use of artificial intelligence, in every sector – and especially so in shipping. Handling this data phenomenon elegantly is the key to unlocking major efficiency improvements on your ships. Over the past five years of research we have become industry leaders

Have you heard of distributional shift? Are you involved in shipping? If the answers are (no) and (yes), you need to read this! Unless you happen to be one of the small (but increasing) number of data scientists in the shipping domain, chances are you haven’t heard of this phenomenon. But, in fact, it’s one of the greatest obstacles to using data really effectively – not only in maritime, but across every industry. As our co-founder Konstantinos says, Robustness to distribut

More than 27,000 people from the global shipping industry gathered last week in Athens, Greece for a full week of engaging discussions regarding the major challenges that the shipping industry is facing. Much of the discussion was focused on decarbonisation and the role that emerging digital technologies play in moving toward a net-zero future – key topics of the flagship panel sessions held by Capital Link and TradeWinds, where DeepSea participated. Here are some key takea
