Zero Ready Framework Ensuring shipping can deliver our zero emissions future

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.

The Future of Software Supply Chain Transparency

whitePaper | March 8, 2022

The Software Supply Chain suffers from a noxious condition that leads to an absolute lack of transparency. While the hardware world would have never developed without standardized product composition information exchange across suppliers, somehow the Software industry made it to this point without such standards. Needless to say, we are paying the consequences of this shortcoming. The worst part of the recent LOG4J vulnerability was not the exploit itself, but the absolute lack of visibility on which products and services it affected.
