Welcome to the latest issue of Ship Technology Global magazine

Mental health is a growing concern for those in the maritime sector. long contracts, isolation, and being away from home can all have adverse effects. In our cover story this issue, we look into how shipowners and operators tackle mental health challenges among seafarers.

We also survey the wind propulsion landscape, finding out which technologies are gaining traction in industry's effort to offset carbon emissions. We also dive into the world of petro-piracy, finding out how real the threat is to oil tankers in modern shipping.

Elsewhere, we explore how the digitalisation of shipping is increasing cybersecurity risks and what solutions are being implemented to combat them; run down the biggest maritime projects of the last year; and speak to Agwa about how the company is using tech to grow fresh food on vessels for seafarers.

For all this and the latest maritime industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData, read on. And don't forget to stay up to date with everything at @ShipTechMag.
