Sonatype

The Sonatype journey started 15 years ago, just as the concept of “open source” software development was gaining steam. From our humble beginning as core contributors to Apache Maven, to supporting the world’s largest repository of open source components (Central), to distributing the world's most popular repository manager (Nexus), we’ve played a meaningful role in helping the world embrace the power of open innovation. Over time, we witnessed the staggering volume and variety of open source libraries that began flowing into every development environment in the world. We understood that when open source components are properly managed, they provide a tremendous energy for accelerating innovation. Conversely, when unmanaged, open source "gone wild"​ can lead directly to security vulnerabilities, licensing risks, enormous rework, and waste.

A holistic approach to sustainable shipping

whitePaper | May 20, 2022

Developing solutions for sustainable shipping requires a holistic view. Main engines for future vessels will no longer be used solely for propulsion. Instead, they will be part of an integrated energy system which in turn will be connected to other vessels, ports and even the complete transportation or logistics chain. Sustainable shipping solutions will also depend on the supply of fuels with a minimal carbon footprint, while future engines will need to be capable of using those fuels reliably, efficiently and with low emissions.

Green shipping corridors: leveraging synergies

whitePaper | October 12, 2022

In 2021, as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 19 countries, including the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (U.K.), Chile and Australia, signed the Clydebank Declaration, which aims to support the establishment of at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, intending to scale up over the decade. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced its objective to help set up green shipping corridors and provided high-level guidance on the building blocks for green shipping corridors. Maritime decarbonization is a particularly complex challenge with multiple pathways that are at various levels of technological and operational readiness.

Autonomous shipping

whitePaper | December 9, 2022

Autonomous shipping is set to revolutionize work in the maritime industry not by replacing humans on board vessels but by augmenting their cognitive capabilities to enhance the ship operators’ potential. As an example, the challenges are considered faced by the officer of the watch, who is responsible for ensuring a safe navigation of the vessel whilst keeping a watch on the bridge. Not only must she or he contend with working shifts and periods of fatigue and boredom, but also with spells on the bridge during which the outlook is impaired by darkness, fog or challenging weather.
