Kaleris acquires Newport Systems for intermodal maintenance and repair

Kaleris has announced the acquisition of Newport Systems creating what the company describes as the industry’s only end-to-end M&R platform connecting the full asset lifecycle across marine terminals, inland depots, rail terminals, equipment owners and repair providers on a single operating model. Maintenance and repair remains one of the least automated workflows in global logistics, with estimates, approvals, exceptions and invoices still moving between equipment owners and repair providers through manual, document-driven processes requiring repeated data entry across multiple systems. The combined platform replaces this multi-day manual exchange with system-driven workflows, returning assets to service faster while providing both parties with a shared, auditable record of every decision. With the addition of Newport, Kaleris now offers continuous asset lifecycle management from terminal discharge through inland distribution, repair and return to service, spanning containers, chassis, reefers, gensets and railcars under a common M&R operating model.

Bureau Veritas issues approval for propulsion assistance system

Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore has issued an Approval in Principle to Bluefins for its WaveDrive propulsion assistance system, a novel technology designed to harness ocean wave motion to generate supplementary thrust for oceangoing vessels and reduce fuel consumption. The WaveDrive system uses a hydrofoil connected to the stern of a vessel through a system of mechanical arms. As the vessel pitches in waves, this motion is converted by the system into horizontal thrust, providing additional propulsion assistance without requiring an external energy source. The design is inspired by the movement of a whale’s tail and represents an innovative approach to recovering energy from vessel motion to improve propulsion efficiency. The AiP assessment involved a preliminary technical review by Bureau Veritas covering the system’s mechanical design, hydraulic system, electrical architecture and associated risk assessment.
