The Green AI for Sustainable Shipping (GASS) project is pleased to announce Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (OSG) joins as a supporting partner. OSG, based in Tampa, Florida, is the leading U.S. flag maritime provider of liquid bulk energy transportation services, specializing in safe and reliable delivery of crude oil and refined petroleum products across the United States and globally.

The maritime industry is at a crossroads. With global pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize operational efficiency, innovation is no longer optional—it’s essential. The Green AI for Sustainable Shipping (GASS) project is leading this transformation, and its Year 2 Progress Report is a roadmap to the future of sustainable shipping.

Enabling Advanced Monitoring, Performance and Analytics for Sustainable Shipping

The Challenge: Data Scarcity in Maritime Operations

Leveraging knowledge from similar vessels with sensor connections to vessels without sensor connections.

As global shipping faces tougher regulations on its emissions, data from four Knutsen shuttle tankers will help propel the development of Green AI for Sustainable Shipping.

In a bold stride toward sustainable maritime operations, NAVTOR has taken the helm of "Green AI for Sustainable Shipping" (GASS). Backed by a 44 million NOK grant from the Norwegian Government’s Green Platform Initiative, the project aims to revolutionise energy efficiency in the maritime shipping industry through cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

Deliverable D4.1 Report on test scenarios and benchmark trajectories is an important output in the GASS project’s work to make shipping greener and smarter.

New research results from the GASS (Green AI for Sustainable Shipping) and DYNAPORT (Dynamic Navigation and Port Call Optimisation in Real Time) projects demonstrate how cutting-edge digital technology can reduce emissions from shipping while maintaining safe operations.

Bergen, July 2025 – The GASS project has officially reached Milestone 3, marking the start of demonstrators that will validate the impact of AI-enhanced voyage optimisation on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, fuel efficiency, and operational costs. This milestone builds on the foundation laid in Deliverable D4.1, which defined the test scenarios and benchmark trajectories. After the prototype simulations and demonstrations, we will continue to roll out for real-world trials.

The GASS project is beginning to show tangible results, thanks to the valuable contributions of its dedicated partners.

Simula is a leading research organisation specialising in information and communication technology. In Green AI for Sustainable Shipping (GASS), Simula is playing a crucial role in developing the AI algorithms that will help the project achieve its goal of optimising fuel consumption and reducing emissions from ships.

Sustainable Energy brings years of experience in testing renewable energy solutions and will contribute its expertise to ensure the project’s technological reliability and effectiveness.

ScanReach is a pioneering technology company specialising in wireless IOT connectivity solutions for the maritime industry’s complex and confined steel environments. As a partner in the Green AI for Sustainable Shipping project, they have a vital role in collecting the vessels’ Motion Reference Unit (MRU) sensors’ data.

Contributing to the success of GASS is a way for shipowners like SinOceanic Shipping to secure their license to operate in an increasingly climate-conscious world.

We have completed the first year of the GASS project, and with contributions from all our partners, we have laid a solid foundation for further work in 2025 and 2026.

The GASS project will only succeed with data from vessels. And the data keeps coming from Grieg Star and SinOceanic Shipping - our main shipowner partners.
