Stream Marine Technical has been featured in Marine Log following the installation of a brand-new K-Sim Engine simulator at our Glasgow training facility. Developed by Kongsberg Digital, the simulator allows us to deliver even more realistic, scenario-based engine room training, helping engineers and technical crew build hands-on confidence across a range of propulsion systems, including vessels powered by alternative fuels. This investment is part of our wider commitment (Read More...)

The latest results from the EU-backed EverLoNG project show that onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a promising tool for decarbonising LNG-fuelled shipping. Trialled on LNG carriers including Seapeak Arwa and Argus, the technology has demonstrated the ability to remove 85–95% of tank-to-wake CO₂ emissions, even under real operational conditions. This breakthrough provides a compelling interim solution for shipping operators as zero and near-zero fuels like green (Read More...)

rom 1 July 2027, the discharge of wash water from open-loop Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) will be prohibited in coastal waters covered by the OSPAR Convention. This includes countries such as the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and France. A complete ban on all EGCS discharges, including closed-loop systems, will follow from 1 July 2029. Although the changes are being phased in, vessel owners, technical managers, and (Read More...)

Working (Read More...)

Stream Marine Technical recently featured in an industry-led webinar, Meet the Molecule: Methanol – IGF Training in Focus, hosted by Ship Management International. With methanol fast becoming a frontrunner in the maritime fuel transition, the session explored key safety considerations, IGF Code compliance, and what operators and crews need to know as uptake accelerates. Representing Stream Marine Technical were Iain Bonehill and Craig Smith, both Alternative Fuel Instructors (Read More...)

We’re proud to share that Stream Marine Training has been featured in All About Shipping in recognition of our growing role in supporting the industry’s shift toward alternative fuels, particularly methanol. The article highlights how our dedicated team, in collaboration with our sister company Stream Marine Technical, is helping bridge the skills gap through targeted IGF Code-aligned training and awareness programmes for methanol and other low-flashpoint fuels. As (Read More...)

The conversation around alternative fuels in the maritime industry is no longer a future-facing thought exercise. It is already shaping the present. As operators respond to tighter emissions regulations and rising expectations around sustainability, the demand for cleaner marine fuels is rapidly increasing. One of the most talked-about options is methanol, and it is already in use on over 200 vessels globally. At Stream Marine Training, we are (Read More...)
