In this edition of the In the Know podcast series, TME spoke with Saildrone CFO Barak Ben-Gal about the carbon savings that his firm delivers for clients. Using unmanned, automated wing-sail propulsion, Saildrone’s USVs can deploy from any dock and transit autonomously to the area of operation and navigate or loiter for a year or more at a time. Working for commercial enterprises and government organizations, they have sailed through hurricanes, conducted surveys in the Bering Sea, tracked maritime security threats in the Persian Gulf, and monitored the safety of migrant craft off the coast of Haiti.
In addition to operational advantages, Saildrone USVs have ultra-low lifecycle emissions, and their wind propulsion “avoids” 99.9 percent of the carbon that bunker-fueled survey ships would generate to carry out the same contract.

Panu Sorvisto of Wartsila Shaft Line Solutions on the Airguard Seal
In this episode of the In the Know podcast series, Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions sales director Panu Sorvisto spoke with The Maritime Executive about Wärtsilä Airguard, a VGP-compliant alternative to using environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) in an oil-lubricated bearing. Airguard allows the operator to continue to use petroleum-based lubricants because it eliminates the oil-to-sea interface.
This conversation is sponsored by Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, an original equipment manufacturer with over 100 years’ experience of designing, manufacturing and servicing shaft line products for the merchant, naval and cruise markets. Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions provides products and services for the whole shaft line, from seals and bearings to couplings, stern tubes and condition monitoring systems.
