A cruise ship is a world of its own at sea. Guests relax by the pool, enjoy the view and experience days full of discoveries. To make them feel comfortable on board, water plays a central role in many ranges – in the pool, in the bathroom, in the drinking glass. ProMinent’s systems ensure that everything works in the background.
Meyer Turku is investing in shipbuilders of the future by donating EUR 800,000 to Aalto University. With the donation, Aalto will establish a five-year Professor of Practice to accelerate developments in marine technology and secure expertise in the field in Finland. This new donation is part of Meyer Turku’s broad collaboration with educational institutions and research.
Bilbao Exhibition Centre will host the next edition of World Maritime Week on 17-18 March 2027. In 2025, the event brought together 1,855 professionals from 27 countries, along with more than 50 exhibiting companies, facilitated over 300 B2B meetings, and featured 70 expert speakers in its conference programme.
Chris-Marine AB announces the introduction of Engine Insights, a new digital solution designed to convert cylinder condition measurements into automatic, instant, standardized reports for faster and more informed maintenance decisions.
Project designer Jiju Poulose of Poul Consult AS describes Blue Frontier Project as an ambitious concept for a sustainable multi-use marine infrastructure system along the Indian coastline.
International shipping is entering a phase where reducing greenhouse gas emissions is no longer a long-term ambition, but a concrete part of everyday business operations. Regulatory pressure is increasing, technologies are advancing, and investment decisions are being made in an environment marked by uncertainty, where the distribution of costs has also become a central issue.
Meyer Turku is launching a five-year MERiON lead program, co-funded by Business Finland, which focuses on strengthening the shipbuilding industry through ecological, digital and geopolitical changes. The program brings together the existing maritime network as well as new business sectors to develop solutions for cruise ships and floating infrastructure.
Sustainability is a major driver in the marine industry – starting with more sustainable fuels. Methanol, ammonia and hydrogen are among the fuels used to power a proud new generation of ships. The introduction of new fuels places demands on pipeline systems aboard ships, as well.
Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) launched the second multi-purpose corvette of Pohjanmaa class built by the Rauma Shipyard for the Finnish Navy. All four vessels of the Squadron 2020 Project are now under construction at the same time – the Project has progressed to the full series-production stage.
Maritime occupational safety is entering a new phase in which traditional risks coexist with the challenges brought by digitalisation, automation and alternative fuels. On vessels, in ports and in shipyards, safety is increasingly shaped by human workload, system complexity and holistic safety management rather than isolated work procedures.
The maritime sector is undergoing its most significant energy transition to date. While multiple low-carbon fuel pathways are emerging, no clear winner has yet been established. Methanol, ammonia, LNG, biofuels, and synthetic fuels are all competing for position as the industry responds to tightening regulation and long-term decarbonization targets.
Air conditioning on cruises requires a great deal of energy – especially in the more exotic climates. With this in mind, Koja Marine developed a ventilation technology that revolutionizes the efficiency of cabin air conditioning. The name of the innovation: OBV (Occupancy-Based Ventilation).
The maritime industry is entering a decade of profound transformation. Climate targets, geopolitical shifts, digitalization, and rapid technological development are reshaping the way ships are designed, built, and operated. For Finland, these changes are not merely challenges to overcome—they are opportunities to strengthen our position as a global leader in maritime innovation.
Saint-Gobain’s quest for lightness, performance and durability supports the rise of a new generation of zero-emission ships.
The celebration in Turku, Finland, marked the official handover of the ship to the vacation brand ahead of a July 2026 European debut.
Passengers aboard the Star of the Seas are looking for a unique cruise experience. That is why the entire vessel — down to every square centimetre of deck and flooring surfaces — must radiate quality.
