New technology, efficiency top priorities for supply chain leaders
Global supply chain leaders recognise technology as a performance enabler, with 61% investing between $1 million and $10 million in the next five years to build more resilient, efficient supply chains, says a report. Blue Yonder, a world leader in end-to-end digital supply chain transformation, today released the results of its inaugural 'Supply Chain Compass' report highlighting nearly 700 global supply chain leaders' key strategic priorities: implementing new technology (51%), improving efficiency and productivity (40%) and building more resilient supply chains (29%). The three-part report features responses from senior supply chain leaders in North America and Europe who work in manufacturing, retail and logistics. Achieving each strategic priority over the next three years will require specific actions, and respondents identified better demand planning (46%) and quickly obtaining and analyzing data on performance (46%) as two of the top actions they believe are essential to success. This was followed by investing in tracking and visibility solutions (45%), digital software transformation and innovation (41%) and managing supply chain costs (33%). In the current macroeconomic environment characterised by volatility and rapid change, focusing efforts on each of these actions will be critical. These priorities not only speak to immediate operational challenges but also position organisations to adapt swiftly to external pressures, ensuring resilience and competitiveness in an unpredictable landscape. 'A consistent theme among surveyed leaders was the adoption of innovative solutions that deliver true end-to-end visibility across the supply network and enable a more connected, intelligence-driven approach to demand and supply planning,' said Andrea Morgan-Vandome, Chief Innovation Officer, Blue Yonder. 'In the face of ongoing economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and inflationary pressures, supply chain leaders are prioritizing technologies that enhance speed and precision. The report highlights that, beyond mitigating risk, decision-makers are increasingly exploring next-generation AI agents to advance sustainability goals and build supply chains that are not only faster but also more efficient.' New Technology is Foundational Many leaders across industries are actively witnessing the transformative power that new technology can bring, with 74% agreeing that AI is already changing the way their business operates. A staggering 82% of leaders agree that outdated technology will hinder their supply chain's potential, and 51% state that implementing new technology is a top priority in the next three years. Supply chain leaders are willing to invest in technology, with 89% of decision-makers dedicating a specific budget to new supply chain technologies. For 61% of respondents, the budget for supply chain technology is between $1 million and $10 million across the next five years. With technology being a key enabler of supply chain performance, decision makers recognize they will need to prioritize new solutions and tools to respond to market challenges and growth opportunities. Barriers to AI Adoption Generative AI is currently under-implemented compared to traditional AI, which is largely used for prediction and automation. The majority of respondents (83%) are using (or are implementing) AI-powered automation, and 78% said the same of machine learning and predictive AI. By contrast, just 36% are using or implementing generative AI. However, there is a clear pathway of opportunity being explored. Generative AI is becoming more important to enhance reliability and address sustainability goals, with one in four companies indicating they are implementing the technology. Only 16% said they have no plans at all for implementing generative AI-based solutions. Understanding barriers to generative AI implementation is key for supply chain decision-makers: · Human Impact: Of those with no plans to implement generative AI, 51% said that their organization will prioritize a people-led approach over cutting-edge technology. · High Cost of Adoption: Organizations with an expected technology budget lower than $500,000 for the next one to five years are significantly less likely to consider implementing generative AI. · Different Priorities: Organizations not currently using generative AI aren't necessarily behind — they're prioritizing other strategic initiatives, such as automating inventory management to drive efficiency. Businesses that focus on transportation, order management and execution and fulfillment are significantly more likely to be investigating the implementation of generative AI (46%), while those in logistics (16%) are behind the adoption curve with no plans to implement. Intersection of Technology and Sustainability Achieving more sustainable supply chains is top of mind for today's leaders, with 'sustainable' being the number one word used to describe the future of their supply chains by respondents. This rang true for nearly two-thirds (68%) of leaders who agree there is an onus on supply chain operators to help solve problems like waste and climate change. Organizations that chose sustainability as a top three strategic priority are far more optimistic about their business performance. Overall, leaders are initially focusing on tangible efforts to impact sustainability, but many are not yet embracing technology solutions that can provide a combination of cost savings and sustainability benefits: · Top opportunities for sustainability in supply chains are tangible investments often bearing a cost: Sustainable packaging (37%), reducing waste across manufacturing (30%), recycling (28%), renewable energy resources/green fuels (28%) and lower emissions from warehouses and facilities (27%). · Fewer leaders have embraced technology-related sustainability opportunities: Data analytics for emissions tracking (22%), connected networks for efficient shipping (17%), reducing waste from expiration (13%) and better returns processing (12%). · Nevertheless, there is a recognized link between sustainability, technology, and efficiency among one cohort: 26% believe that forecasting technology can improve efficiency and, in turn, sustainability efforts. There is immense opportunity at the intersection of technology and sustainability. Respondents who named sustainability as a top three strategic priority are on the leading edge of technology and AI adoption: 94% say end-to-end data connectivity is fundamental to the success of their business (vs. 85% total), 80% say AI is already changing how they operate (vs. 74% total) and 61% say they are currently investigating generative AI.

KR, HD Hyundai Mipo and HD KSOE collaborate on tank design for green ships
KR (Korean Register) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with HD Hyundai Mipo and HD Korean Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) on applying Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) techniques to the design of Type-C cargo tanks for liquefied gas carriers to ensure their structural safety. The agreement was signed on June 3 at Nor-Shipping 2025 in Oslo, Norway. With the maritime industry accelerating its transition toward decarbonization, demand is growing for ships powered by alternative fuels such as LNG, ammonia, and hydrogen. These fuels are typically stored and transported in high-pressure, cryogenic liquefied form, requiring advanced safety measures for onboard containment systems. Therefore, ensuring the structural integrity of cargo tanks has become a critical element in next-generation, environmentally sustainable ship design. This MoU represents a proactive response to these evolving needs. The three parties aim to improve the structural safety and design reliability of IMO Type-C independent tanks—one of the most widely adopted containment systems for low-emission vessels. Type-C tanks are commonly used on small to mid-sized gas carriers and bunkering vessels due to their structural independence and ability to store high-pressure cargo, and therefore require precise structural analysis to ensure safety. To tackle these technical challenges, the partners will apply ECA — a fracture mechanics-based structural analysis method — from the early stages of design. ECA simulates potential crack propagation in metallic structures, and assesses whether they can safely withstand real-world operating conditions. The methodology is particularly well-suited for high-pressure, low-temperature environments such as those found in liquefied gas storage. Under the agreement, HD Hyundai Mipo will conduct structural strength and fatigue assessments of the tanks, and HD KSOE will lead tank design and perform ECA-based structural evaluations. KR will review safety and compliance of the design in accordance with its classification rules and the international convention (IGC Code), with the goal of issuing an Approval in Principle (AIP). Lee Dong-jin, Executive Vice President of HD Hyundai Mipo, commented: 'Through this collaboration, we aim to secure AIP and further strengthen our competitiveness in the green ship market. We will continue to lead the industry through the development of high-value-added technologies.' Lee Dong-ju, Senior Vice President of HD KSOE, said: 'This project marks meaningful progress in ensuring both structural safety and design rationality of fuel tanks for green ships through the application of advanced structural evaluation techniques. We remain committed to advancing design and manufacturing technologies for environmentally friendly vessels.' Kim Han-se, Senior Vice President of HD KSOE SD Business Unit, stated: 'The joint development effort is expected to enhance the competitiveness of independent tanks in the high-value, eco-friendly vessel market. We are dedicated to delivering safe and efficient tank solutions tailored to the evolving demands of global shipowners, leveraging our advanced design and evaluation expertise.'

International Air Transport Association's (IATA) net-zero carbon emissions roadmap highlights that technology and operational efficiency improvements — which directly lower fuel consumption — are expected to contribute to about 10% of the emissions reduction in 2050. "Fuel management is key for airlines. Depending on the prevailing price of jet fuel, it generally accounts for 25-30% of the cost base. On top of that, as airlines decarbonise, tracking and managing carbon costs—which are directly related to fuel consumption—will be a growing priority. Understanding how an airline is performing compared with industry peers using FuelIS can pinpoint potential efficiencies that reduce costs and improve environmental performance. The great support from 220 airlines contributing operational data on fuel consumption combined with continuously improving analytical capabilities makes FuelIS a very compelling tool,' said Nick Careen, IATA Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security. Data Accuracy and Reliability IATA FuelIS helps airlines benchmark the fuel efficiency of their aircraft or engines against industry averages, gaining valuable insights into specific markets, regions, countries, and fleet types based on real operational data. IATA FuelIS uses data from the IATA Global Aviation Data Management (GADM) platform. This data is sourced from the Flight Data eXchange (FDX) program which now comprises fuel data from more than 220 airlines worldwide, covering more than 8 million flights a year. FuelIS integrates seamlessly with IATA's Fuel Efficiency Gap Analysis (FEGA), with the data from FuelIS supporting the development and tracking of fuel strategies. Since 2005, IATA has partnered with airlines worldwide, helping the industry identify potential annual reductions of 4.76 million tonnes in fuel consumption, equating to $3.8 billion in savings annually. 'Fuel is a major cost driver for TAP Air Portugal. Managing consumption is an important priority for its cost implications and its contribution to decarbonization. Every kilogram of fuel saved counts. The insights FuelIS provides help us measure the impact of our fleet modernization and our long-term transition to SAF. It also supports a fuel strategy that is more responsive to market and operational changes,' said TAP Air Portugal CEO Luís Rodrigues.
