Dear Anjaney Borwankar,

Trust you are very well.

The recent few weeks have seen some global milestones: India’s Chandrayaan-3 achieved the inaugural landing on the south pole of the moon, while in another remarkable global first, a ship-to-containership methanol bunkering took place in Singapore.

While the world makes progress, Navozyme continues to play its part to accelerate the decarbonisation and digitalisation of the maritime industry.

Navozyme co-hosts Decarbonisation event in Singapore

Navozyme had the privilege of co-hosting the "Accelerating Decarbonisation via Technology Innovation" event in Singapore along with Blue Room Innovation and IESE.

Entrepreneurial leaders such as Jan Holm (Seaborg), Shaun Hon (Motion Ventures), Denisa Gibovic (Blue Room Innovation), and Anjaney Borwankar (Navozyme) shared their green initiatives and participated in a candid panel discussion.

The discussion provided valuable insights into the green energy transition, covering topics such as the current state of maritime venture capital funding, the significance of decarbonisation for digitalisation, and the essential role of nuclear energy in achieving green goals. The discussion was enriched by the active participation of the audience consisting of senior professionals from diverse industries, including maritime, clean-tech and venture capital.

N-Bunker AI-ML algorithm development

In October 2022, Navozyme's Just-In-Time Bunkering use case was selected by the European Commission-funded, AIPlan4EU. This use case proposes to reduce waiting time for ships while performing bunker operations which in turn eliminates wasted fuel burn and reduces GHG emissions in ports.

In this Research & Development project, Navozyme is the use case owner, supported by technical partner NextPort.AI. The development of the Technology-Specific-Bridge to connect the AIPlan4EUs AI-ML planning engines is in its final phase with the project on track to be completed by end October 2023.

About AIPlan4EU

AIPlan4EU is a European Commission-funded project with the objective of optimising processes across various sectors. In collaboration with 16 partners who come from 7 countries, AIPlan4EU aims to facilitate planning and scheduling for different use-cases. The partners include leading European research institutions (e.g. Fondazione Bruno Kessler - Italy, University of Basel-Switzerland, DFKI-Germany) and leading companies such as Airbus and P&G.

About N-Bunker

N-CAP Client Experience: International Association of Maritime Institutions (IAMI), UK

Navozyme designed and developed a new digital examination system for the International Association of Maritime Institutions (IAMI) with the aim to bring greater security, speed and sustainability in the exam processes. The new examination system also pioneered the adoption of Blockchain Enabled E-certificates (BEEs).

Successful candidates are able to automatically receive their certificates on their mobiles via the N-CAP Wallet. The BEEs have unique QR codes that facilitate the real-time verification of the credentials.
