Maritime SoftwareHub

In this episode of Maritime SoftwareHub – The People Podcast, Callum is joined by Peter Mantel, Chief Commercial Officer of Theyr.

On the show Peter discusses the impact of technology on achieving a net zero maritime industry. With a background in the maritime sector, Peter shares Theyr's journey from providing weather data and web mapping services for leisure to developing a multi-objective genetic algorithm for commercial shipping.

This algorithm optimizes voyages by considering factors like fuel consumption, timing, just-in-time arrival, and compliance.

Takeaways:

Voyage optimization algorithms can significantly reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in maritime.

Theyr transitioned from leisure weather data services to commercial shipping solutions.

Their algorithm considers fuel consumption, timing, just-in-time arrival, and compliance.

Achieving net zero in maritime requires a combination of alternative fuels, wind power, and optimization technologies.

Public perception and waste disposal are crucial in the shift to cleaner maritime energy.

LNG as a fuel source faces storage and safety challenges.

Improved transparency between ship owners and charters can be achieved through technology.
