New to the field
Ship Resistance Fundamentals
Start with the physics every later argument stands on.
Running a fleet's numbers
The Road to Efficiency
Go from noon reports to performance numbers you can defend.
Facing the regulations
Maritime Regulations, Explained
MRV, ETS, CII, FuelEU: what they measure and what they cost.
Specialisations
Ordered course sequences that build a capability, not just knowledge.
Specialisation Foundation → Practitioner
Maritime Decarbonisation & Compliance
The regulations measuring, grading and pricing shipping's emissions, and the fuels and technologies answering them.
Free courses
Complete courses, same format and quizzes as the paid ones. No account needed.

Maritime Regulations, Explained
EU MRV, IMO DCS, CII, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime: five regulations, one storyline: first they measured shipping's emissions, then they graded them, then they priced them, and now they are changing the fuel itself.

Alternative Fuels for Shipping
A fuel-by-fuel tour of every serious contender, LNG, LPG, methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, biofuels, e-fuels, batteries and nuclear, built on one comparison framework, so you can weigh energy density, safety, cost and availability the way an owner's technical team does.
Free Foundation
Energy-Saving Technologies
What rotor sails, air lubrication, energy-saving devices, waste-heat recovery and shore power actually do to a ship's energy bill, and how to read a vendor's savings claim before you sign for the retrofit.
Free Foundation
The IMO Net-Zero Framework
What the IMO's approved, but not adopted, mid-term measure would require, and where it actually stands: a declining well-to-wake GHG fuel intensity path for ships of 5,000 GT and above, two target ladders year by year to 2035, two-tier pricing at USD 100 and USD 380 per tonne with a settlement rule that differs between the tiers, surplus units and their two-year life, rewards for zero and near-zero fuels, the 31 March and 30 September reporting dates, and the dated record of two failed adoption attempts, a reopened text and the rival proposals now sitting beside it.
Free Practitioner
Onboard Carbon Capture
What it takes to capture CO2 from a ship's own exhaust: the technologies, the energy penalty, the tanks, the missing shore infrastructure, and the regulatory question that decides whether any of it pays.
