[{"type":"text","content":"ATHENS, Greece, March 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (NASDAQ: CCEC), an international owner of ocean-going vessels, today announced its participation as a Founding Member of the newly established MIT Maritime Consortium, joining forces with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering. This pioneering international collaboration between academia and leading maritime stakeholders is dedicated to developing cutting-edge technologies aimed at enhancing industry competitiveness while reducing environmental impact. This new international consortium brings together academic and maritime industry leaders, developing new technologies for nuclear propulsion and alternative fuels, data-powered strategies for efficient operation and decision making, autonomy and cybersecurity, as well as on-board manufacturing of spare parts. By addressing climate-harming emissions in the maritime shipping industry - which currently transports 90% of world cargoes, while contributing 2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions - this initiative supports compliant, environmentally friendly operations aligned with the decarbonization goals set by the International Maritime Organization. Together the members aim to explore new designs that meet the economic, technological and environmental requirements of commercial shipping, assess the feasibility of alternative fuels, develop data-driven algorithms, and enhance autonomous platforms focused on climate, sustainability, AI and AR for manufacturing. The MIT Maritime Consortium’s Founding Members include the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp., and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering. Innovation Members include Foresight-Group, Navios Maritime Partners L.P., Singapore Maritime Institute, and Dorian LPG. Prof. Themis Sapsis, Director of the Center for Ocean Engineering at MIT stated, “This consortium envisions to develop novel engineering solutions towards ship decarbonization, such as nuclear propulsion, advanced data analytics and autonomy, sophisticated cybersecurity frameworks, novel hydrodynamic advancements, and 3D printing technologies, that will create competitive advantage for companies and organizations. “It is an effort that will bring the latest and greatest from MIT, catalyzing synerg...
