Norsepower, the global leader in wind-assisted propulsion for commercial shipping, today announced that its proprietary force measurement technology for wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) has been independently validated by RISE technology infrastructure SSPA Maritime Centre.

The evaluation was carried out onboard MV Chinook Oldendorff ,equipped with three Norsepower Rotor SailsÔ, and it is among the first third-party validations of a continuous performance monitoring system for wind propulsion.

July 22, 2026, Helsinki, Finland– Measuring the thrust generated by a WASP device is the most direct way to quantify its performance — but doing so reliably, over long periods of operation, and translating the result into real vessel power savings, has remained a persistent challenge for the industry.

Norsepower addressed this with a proprietary measurement technique based on pressure sensors integrated directly into the rotor system. To verify its accuracy, Norsepower worked with RISE, which applied its own performance assessment methodology to convert the measured thrust forces into estimated power savings. RISE then compared these estimates against a large number of on/off tests carried out over six months of normal vessel operation.

The results showed that the force measurements remained stable over time and correlated well with the savings identified through the operational on/off testing — a joint effort building on Norsepower’s core measurement technology together with RISE’s independent conversion and assessment methodology.

“The measurements demonstrated good stability throughout the test period. Combined with initial calibration using on/off testing, this provides a promising solution for quantifying WASP energy savings over time,” said Sofia Werner, Head of Strategic Development at RISE SSPA Maritime Centre.

This validation marks a meaningful step toward continuous, transparent monitoring of wind propulsion performance in commercial shipping — and it points directly to where international discussions are heading. As the IMO advances its GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI) framework, the maritime industry needs a credible way to measure and verify the real-world contribution of wind-assisted propulsion. This work shows that continuous, direct thrust measurement — the top tier (Tier IV) of the methodology proposed to the IMO for assessing wind propulsion under GFI — is not just theoretically sound, but a proven, operational solution. It gives the industry a viable path to the kind of rigorous, auditable performance data that GFI compliance will demand.

By enabling reliable, real-time visibility into actual fuel and emissions savings, the technology also opens the door to new commercial models: shipowners and charterers can share transparent, verified performance data as a basis for splitting the costs and benefits of wind propulsion — supporting wider adoption across the industry.

“Our force measurement third-party validation demonstrates how the whole industry benefits when we can independently prove that wind propulsion performance can be measured accurately and consistently. That’s what will build the trust needed for wind propulsion to scale,” said Heikki Pöntynen, CEO of Norsepower.

CEVA Logistics, a global leader in 3PL logistics and the world’s third-largest contract logistics provider, announces the opening, in summer 2026, of a new logistics platform in Mably, near Roanne, in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Covering 44,000 square meters, CEVA will operate logistics activities designed to support the growth of e-commerce in France while strengthening its contract logistics capabilities.

Located in the Éco Parc Bonvert business park in Mably, north of Roanne, the platform will cover a total surface area of 44,000 sq m and will be able to process 200,000 parcels per week and up to 350,000 during peak activity periods.

It will include nearly 42,000 square meters of warehouse space and approximately 2,000 square meters of office space. Its 41 dock doors, accessible simultaneously, will help optimize goods receiving and shipment preparation flows.

Designed to meet the speed, reliability and flexibility requirements of e-commerce, the site will be equipped with advanced inventory management systems and a high-performance automated sorting system, both in terms of conveyor speed and outbound allocation.

VNA – Very Narrow Aisle – racking will provide increased storage capacity and greater fluidity for picking operations in the aisles.

This infrastructure will help accelerate the processing of inbound and outbound flows and improve service quality for order preparation destined for the network of e-commerce distribution warehouses in the region.

Thanks to its strategic location in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and its latest-generation equipment, the platform will enable CEVA to support e-commerce distribution needs while strengthening its presence in a key region for logistics activities.

The site will also contribute to the region’s economic vitality, with nearly 300 employees expected and up to 500 people mobilized during peak activity periods.

In line with CEVA’s commitments to sustainable development and the continuous improvement of the environmental performance of its sites, operations at the platform will rely on practices that promote responsible use of resources. In the building, which will be equipped with 100 percent LED lighting and rooftop photovoltaic panels, handling operations will notably be carried out using electric pallet trucks and forklifts to reduce the environmental impact of the activities.

Ranked among the world’s top three contract logistics providers, CEVA continues to develop its activities in France to support its customers’ growth in key sectors, including automotive, industrial, e-commerce, technology, healthcare and beauty. The company currently has 27 contract logistics warehouses in the country, representing more than 570,000 square meters, in addition to 150,000 square meters of storage space dedicated to Air & Ocean activities, for a total of 720,000 square meters of warehousing space. This network consolidates CEVA’s position among the major players in contract logistics through a combination of dedicated and multi-customer sites.

Amaury Montay, Contract Logistics Director France, CEVA Logistics, said: “The upcoming opening of this new platform in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes reflects the momentum behind the development of our contract logistics activities in France and our ability to sustainably support our customers’ needs. With this new site, CEVA is strengthening its local footprint and its role as a trusted partner in a rapidly evolving e-commerce sector.”

Performance is measured on a scale of one to five, with Level 1 representing regulatory compliance and Level 5 recognizing industry leadership and excellence.

Achieving Level 5 in Aquatic Ecosystems signifies that HOPA Ports has implemented comprehensive, measurable practices to protect and enhance aquatic habitats across its port network. The program’s criteria are updated each year to reflect evolving regulations, science, and available technologies, requiring participants to continuously improve to maintain or advance their standing.

“HOPA’s commitment to environmental stewardship is central to how we operate and grow,” said Sara Yonson, Environment Manager at HOPA Ports. “Achieving Level 5 in aquatic ecosystems through Green Marine reflects our focus on protecting biodiversity while supporting responsible industrial activity. It speaks directly to our mission of enabling sustainable trade, and to our values of accountability, innovation, and community leadership.”

Alongside its top score in Aquatic Ecosystems, HOPA Ports continues to maintain strong Level 4 performance across all other Green Marine indicators. This consistent performance underscores a system-wide approach to sustainability, one that integrates environmental considerations into day-to-day operations, long-term planning, and partnerships across the supply chain.

Through programs like Green Marine, HOPA Ports continues to advance its vision of modern, sustainable port infrastructure that supports economic growth while protecting the environmental health of the Great Lakes and surrounding communities.

Navigators Shipping and Logistica, the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) member for Bahrain, has successfully completed a series of project cargo shipments from the Middle East to Southeast and South Asia, demonstrating its expertise in handling complex out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo movements.

One of the shipments involved the transportation of OOG pipes and other large components from the project site to Southeast Asia. The cargo, measuring 14 × 2.38 × 2.57 m, was collected in line with strict pickup deadlines and loaded onto a 40-foot Flat Rack (FR) container. The shipment was executed using a multimodal transport solution that combined inland transportation and ocean freight services.

A critical element of the operation was the safe securing and lashing of the overlength cargo. The shipment was carefully positioned on timber dunnage to ensure even weight distribution and prevent direct contact with the flat rack. A combination of chains and belts was strategically applied at multiple securing points to maintain stability throughout both road and sea transport. The lashing arrangement was designed to minimize cargo movement caused by braking, cornering, vessel motion, and adverse sea conditions, while fully complying with OOG cargo securing and safety requirements.

The project presented several operational challenges, including delays in obtaining booking confirmation from the shipping line, special approvals required for overlength road transportation, and a four-day gate-in delay at origin due to the OOG approval process. Through proactive planning, close coordination with all stakeholders, and continuous shipment monitoring, Navigators successfully completed the movement within the client’s required sailing schedule.

In another successful project, Navigators handled the transportation of six oversized vehicles destined for South Asia. The shipment required meticulous planning, technical expertise, and precise execution, further highlighting the company’s project logistics capabilities.

The consignment, with a total cargo weight of 28 tons, was transported on six 40-foot Flat Rack containers. Given the oversized dimensions of the vehicles, every stage of the operation was carefully planned to ensure safe handling and timely delivery. The cargo was moved from Jebel Ali to Sohar Port within just two days, enabling the customer to meet a demanding project schedule.

Each vehicle was expertly loaded onto the flat rack containers and secured using a combination of chain and belt lashings to ensure maximum stability during transit. The operation also included the arrangement of specialized low-bed trailers for inland transportation and seamless border clearance procedures, ensuring uninterrupted cargo flow. Close coordination with the shipping line further contributed to the smooth and successful execution of the shipment.

These successful movements underscore Navigators Shipping and Logistica’s commitment to delivering reliable, efficient, and customized project logistics solutions for complex cargo requirements across international markets.

Daito Corporation (Daito), a consolidated subsidiary of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE), has decided to build a 260 gross ton-class electric tugboat (“EV Tugboat No. 2”).

This will be Daito’s second electric tugboat, following the 199 gross ton-class electric tugboat currently under construction (“EV Tugboat No. 1”).*1

EV Tugboat No. 2 will be a high-output vessel designed to accommodate a wide range of towage operations in Tokyo Bay. It is intended to be a standard model for future electric tugboats. The vessel will use a new DC power distribution system that efficiently supplies propulsion and onboard electrical power and be equipped with a 4,400 PS motor, whose output is higher than the 3,600 PS motor in EV Tugboat No. 1. In addition, EV Tugboat No. 2’s auxiliary generator, which will operate when battery capacity is insufficient, will be controlled by a condition monitoring system (CMS). Accumulated operational data will be utilized to optimize power supply and reduce the vessel’s use of fossil fuels.

This initiative has also been selected to be included in the subsidized Innovative Navigation Efficiency and Transition to Non-Fossil Energy for Coastal Shipping program jointly administered by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It is expected that the initiative will contribute to environmental initiatives in Japan’s coastal shipping industry.

EV Tugboat No. 2 will be constructed by HONGAWARA SHIP YARD CO.,LTD. with the cooperation of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., which will provide and integrate the control and propulsion systems, and TOA CORPORATION, which will design and construct the shoreside charging equipment. Completion is scheduled for July 2028. Together with EV Tugboat No. 1, which will enter service earlier, the vessel will engage in towage operations for ships calling at Tokyo Bay ports and contribute to the development of carbon-neutral ports (CNP) *2.

Under the Group’s long-term environmental policy, “K” LINE Environmental Vision 2050: Blue Seas for the Future,*3 the “K” LINE Group is advancing the research, development and implementation of environmental technologies. Going forward as well, the Group will continue to work together to promote initiatives to move toward the implementation of low-carbon and decarbonized operation.

Daito Corporation (Daito), a consolidated subsidiary of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE), has decided to build a 260 gross ton-class electric tugboat (“EV Tugboat No. 2”).

This will be Daito’s second electric tugboat, following the 199 gross ton-class electric tugboat currently under construction (“EV Tugboat No. 1”).*1

EV Tugboat No. 2 will be a high-output vessel designed to accommodate a wide range of towage operations in Tokyo Bay. It is intended to be a standard model for future electric tugboats. The vessel will use a new DC power distribution system that efficiently supplies propulsion and onboard electrical power and be equipped with a 4,400 PS motor, whose output is higher than the 3,600 PS motor in EV Tugboat No. 1. In addition, EV Tugboat No. 2’s auxiliary generator, which will operate when battery capacity is insufficient, will be controlled by a condition monitoring system (CMS). Accumulated operational data will be utilized to optimize power supply and reduce the vessel’s use of fossil fuels.
