ST x Marad

🚢 ST CONNECT x Marad

Good news for Marad users: the integration with ST CONNECT is live!

Through ST CONNECT, key maintenance data such as engine running hours, RPM, oil pressure, and cooling water temperature can now be shared automatically. In Marad, this information is clearly displayed on a timeline, enabling predictive maintenance solutions.

The biggest advantage for now? The crew no longer has to enter this data manually – it’s done automatically! Immediate time savings and no more errors. 🚀

ST CONNECT means less administrative work, better data quality, and real-time insights – both on board and in the office.

ST x VSTEP

Shipping Technology en VSTEP kondigen samenwerking aan voor datagedreven training in de binnenvaart

Gorinchem, mei 2025 – Tijdens Maritime Industry kondigen Shipping Technology en VSTEP Simulation met trots hun voorgenomen samenwerking aan. De twee innovatieve Rotterdamse organisaties bundelen hun krachten om de binnenvaartsector een unieke combinatie te bieden van real-time operationele data en realistische simulatie-omgevingen.

Dankzij deze samenwerking wordt het mogelijk om échte vaardata uit de praktijk direct in te zetten in trainingsscenario’s. Hierdoor kunnen bemanningen beter worden voorbereid op noodsituaties, complexe vaartrajecten en innovatieve technologieën aan boord – denk aan besluitvorming op basis van realtime inzichten, efficiënt varen, en incidentreconstructie.

“Met deze stap brengen we de virtuele en echte wereld van de binnenvaart dichter bij elkaar. Het is een belangrijke mijlpaal in onze missie om technologie als ondersteuning voor bemanning in te zetten,” – Donald Baan, COO van Shipping Technology.

“Onze missie bij VSTEP is altijd geweest om simulatoren relevanter en realistischer te maken. Door samen te werken met Shipping Technology kunnen we nu trainen met échte data, uit échte situaties. Dat maakt trainingen niet alleen effectiever, maar ook veel dichter bij de praktijk.” – Tije Vos, Commercial Director bij VSTEP Simulation

Deze samenwerking sluit naadloos aan op de gezamenlijke ambitie om de binnenvaart veiliger, slimmer én duurzamer te maken!

ST CONNECT x Green Award

Simplifying Green Award Discounts with ST Connect! 🚢💡

Great news! Our ST Connect is now integrated with Green Award, making it easier for shipowners to comply with Green Award requirements and benefit from (port) discount programs – without additional administrative tasks. 

🔎 The Challenge

To qualify for Green Award-based certificates and incentives like @Port of Rotterdam, shipowners must manually maintain and submit their CO2 emission data. This process is time-consuming, and requires continuous administration.

✅ The Solution

With our ST CONNECT, your ship’s data is now automatically shared—directly from the vessel—based on real fuel consumption. No more manual data entry or administrative burdens. Just seamless registration and access to Green Award incentives.

Dock2Dock: A New Milestone in Autonomous Sailing!

Together with Retina and Scylla, we recently conducted a live test of our Dock2Dock integration on the MS Anna Katharina.

🚀 The result?
Our first live test in a controlled river section was successful, allowing us to thoroughly test the combination of our Autonomous Lane Assist and Maneuver Pilot by Retina. With these first live trials completed, we’re now focused on refining the system. 

🌊 What’s next?
We will soon be moving forward to the next step: testing full Dock2Dock navigation on a river, moving from port to port fully autonomous with a captain monitoring the maneuvering part as well!

ALA Captain Day

Last week we hosted our very first ALA Captain’s Day – in our new space at the Veerkade in Rotterdam. With a view over the Nieuwe Maas, a location that perfectly reflects what we stand for: innovation for inland shipping!

We engaged in discussions with captains about our Autonomous Lane Assist (ALA): a semi-autonomous AI-based track pilot that makes sailing easier without too many settings – our foundation for further autonomy.

How do they use ALA in practice? Where are the challenges? And do our future plans align with what’s needed on board?

💬 Open conversations, honest feedback, and fresh ideas. It was an afternoon full of valuable insights!
