It happened in Valencia in 2012; in Panama, in 2018, and it will happen in Cape Town, this 2024. Do you know which is one of the most important nautical events in the world and that visits many cities? It's the PIANC World Congress (from the International Navigation Association PIANC SA), which this year will celebrate its 35th edition from May 3rd to May 5th, in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. The congress is a reference in the nautical industry for both the wide number of sector references it gathers and the topics discussed in it. The themes to be focused on in this edition, titled "Waterborne Transport Ready for the Future: Unlocking Africa," include, among others: ⛴️ Port dredging. 🛥️ UKC AIS systems for marine radars. 🛳️ Waterways for recreation and water management. 🌊 Waves and tsunamis. ⛴️ Rehabilitation and management of ports, … All of them from the perspective of the advances provided by AI and with the aim of creating a sustainable maritime sector. The MSI team will be there, participating in the talks as speakers on a topic of maritime ports for infrastructure investments in Africa and visiting the ports of the oldest coastal city in South Africa. ✏️ If you're going, let us know. We'd be happy to meet you. #PIANC #35PIANCWorldCongress #MaritimeEngineering #NauticalEngineering #WorldMaritimeEngineering #PortSustainabilityAfrica #CapeTown

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 We are thrilled to unveil our latest publication, a policy brief titled "Assessing the Added Value of Marine Multi-Use within H2020United pilots." Dive into the core question: Is the Marine Multi-Use strategy the future of sustainable marine utilization? This critical inquiry underpins a recent economic assessment conducted in collaboration with UNITED pilots. The goal was two-fold: dissect the current and potential future value of Multi-Use colocations and explore how existing marine uses and touristic opportunities can be elevated through Multi-Use settings. This exploration involved a meticulous assessment of the trade-offs associated with Multi-Use options versus potential single-use alternatives. The study considered all significant impacts, from positive externalities like marine habitat creation to potential constraints on access for other marine uses. Feel free to explore the full policy brief by clicking on the link below. Let's continue shaping the future of sustainable marine practices together! 👇 ➡️ https://ow.ly/OLGy50Qut1k Youssef Zaiter, Ph.D.

🌊🚢 Celebrating a Century of Portuguese-Norwegian Maritime Research Cooperation! 🚢🌊   This year marks the 100th anniversary of the fruitful partnership between Portugal and Norway in oceanographic research! 🌐🔬   Since 1924, our nations have worked hand-in-hand to advance our understanding of the seas. It all began with the acquisition of the oceanographic ship "Albacora," equipped and supported by Norway. Over the years, this collaboration has only grown stronger, bringing forth milestones like the research vessel "Noruega" in 1978 and the research vessel "Mário Ruivo" in 2015.   The IPMA fleet, a cornerstone of this partnership, has become a crucial asset for the entire national and international scientific community. Together, we've made significant strides in marine research, fisheries, and the sustainable management of our ocean resources. 🌍🦐   Here's to another century of shared knowledge, innovation, and commitment to the health of our oceans! 🌊🤝 photo Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA)   #MaritimeResearch #Oceanography #PortugalNorway100Years #SustainableOceans #IPMA #MarineScience
