“The first point,” he says, discussing ship operations in 2030 with Splash, “is to anticipate a much closer coming together of the shore and shipboard team. It is likely that some roles and operational task will move ashore. We may see a small reduction in crew but those left will need to be highly skilled.
Are they going far enough? Will he/she actually sail on the ship, or monitor the ship from a shore based control centre?

Is LNG a suitable transition fuel until a suitable future fuel is found?:
Zane Berry from MCA Consulting gives his take on what the merchant fleet will look like at the start of the next decade. The main driver for change in vessel design and operation will remain the need for fuel optimisation through to 2030 and beyond....

The search for the silver bullet fuel solution remains enticing but elusive, with hydrogen, ammonia and even methanol not being realistic on a large scale, at least before 2030. LNG seems to be becoming more accepted as the transition fuel and we can see this in the numbers for LNG-powered vessels uptake with a global fleet of 251 LNG-fuelled vessels in operation, and 403 more on order, according to 2022 DNV statistics. Dual fuel HFO/LNG provides an accessible option for many shipowners.
Technological innovation drives the maritime industry forward, improving safety and propelling decarbonization. However, many new technologies face challenges in aligning with existing regulations. DNV’s Technology Qualification process bridges this gap, as demonstrated by the Candela P-12 ferry.

Kind of along the same line.Saving fuel by retrofit existing ships:
Demand for advanced propeller retrofits and energy-saving devices (ESDs) has nearly quadrupled since 2020 to enhance energy efficiency to meet tightening emissions regulations. Click to enlarge However, according to a new report from British...

In total, more than 10,000 vessels in the existing fleet and orderbook feature some form of propulsion energy-saving technology from newbuild. Added to this are at least a further 1,400 vessels that have had ESDs retrofitted since 2020. The number of installations on existing vessels is growing, showing nearly four-fold growth since 2020, with close to 1,500 vessels contracted to be fitted with devices by the end of 2024.
The report also reveals a trend towards retrofitting newer vessels, with more than one-third of 2024 retrofits performed on ships less than ten years old, compared to just 16% in 2020. By 2024, 12% of retrofits were performed on vessels built less than six years ago, a category that saw no retrofits in 2020.

Manish Singh, who leads Aboutships, a UK maritime advisory, sees up to half of repetitive tasks disappearing from seafarer daily routines come 2035.
Retained roles will focus on watchkeeping, critical safety and compliance, mooring, cargo care, repairs and maintenance, Singh reckons while a lot of the onboard workflow will be digitally assisted in areas such as reporting, routing, and documentation.
“With better connectivity and extensive sensors onboard, decision support systems, and AI tools, much of the manual monitoring and form-filling will go,” Singh predicts.

Do not worry. They will be feeding AI with their practical experiences.
