Unique collaboration on green fuels, new propulsion technology and hull-form optimization in the workboat sector will lay the foundation for global emissions reduction efforts.
The workboat sector, comprising one of the strongest categories of the UK’s Ship Register and including many Small to Medium size Enterprises (SMEs), is leading the charge in developing innovative technologies that will ultimately reduce emissions throughout the wider maritime industry. This is according to the Workboat Association (WA), the trade, skills and safety standards association, and naval architecture and marine engineering firm Chartwell Marine.

Adding to 14 international offices of the registry it will also provide issuance of important technical certifications for the vessels flying the flag of Panama.
The new SEGUMAR office, located in Central Hong Kong, will service the Hong Kong fleet which represents 6.8%of the total Panamanian merchant fleet. It will work alongside the Panama Consulate for the best of the Hong Kong ship owners’ community.
The Panama Maritime Authority’s Directorate General of Merchant Marine through its Department of SEGUMAR is improving the Ship Registry’s operations with innovations and digitalisation of its processes.
Melita Marine Group recently announced an investment of €5 million in its operation, in order to strengthen the highest quality service it offers in maritime and engineering at an international level.
Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects Ian Borg and Minister for the Economy and Industry Silvio Schembri, visited the company’s shipyard in Paola.
Borg said: “All this further strengthens Malta’s position as a major jurisdiction for yacht services. It is an honour for us to have a Maltese shipyard which is considered, according to among the most prominent newspapers, as one of the best shipyards in the world.
