VESSEL REVIEW: Family-owned Mulroy Bay Mussels of County Donegal in Ireland recently welcomed a new harvesting boat into service. 'Lena Quinn' was built by Donegal-based company Seabound Engineering to a design developed by neighbouring naval architecture firm Atlantek Maritime in close consultation with Mulroy Bay Mussels co-owner Johnny Wilhare. The newbuild has all-aluminium construction, a length of 16 metres (52 feet), a beam of 6.8 metres (22 feet), a draught of only 0.5 metre (1.6 feet), and a crew of four. The vessel adopts a double-chined displacement catamaran design while the wheelhouse is placed aft to provide 84 square metres (900 square feet) of working deck space. The vessel utilises a ballast system with two forward and two midship tanks for lowering itself into the water prior to harvesting mussels, for improving stability when transporting deck cargo, and for assisting with heel trim during towing.

VESSEL REVIEW: Norwegian boatbuilder Salthammer Båtbyggeri (SHB) recently delivered a new custom workboat to Norwegian marine services provider Hansen Maskin and Transport. 'HMT Thor' was built to a design developed by Norwegian naval architecture firm Tomra Engineering in close cooperation with the owner. The boat has a length of 26.1 metres (85.6 feet), a beam of 15 metres (49 feet), and an open forward deck that can accommodate various payloads. SHB said the vessel can be operated in support of customers in the aquaculture and marine construction industries. Lasse Stokkeland, General Manager at SHB, said the vessel was developed continuously, with redesign work and integration of new capability at various stages, and that all components used in the construction were sourced locally.

Our engineers have been called out for emergency repairs to this Bascule Bridge in South Wales! A bascule bridge is a type of moveable bridge that uses a counterweight system to pivot and lift one or more sections (called "leaves") of the bridge to allow boats or other vessels to pass underneath. The name "bascule" comes from the French word for "seesaw," which reflects the way the bridge operates by pivoting on a horizontal axis. Bascule bridges are commonly found in areas where waterways need to remain navigable for ships and where constructing a fixed bridge with sufficient clearance is impractical due to cost, engineering challenges, or space constraints. #civilengineering #structuralengineering #canals #bridges #repairs

Built Tough, Tested Tougher: Resolut HDPE Boats At Resolut Boat Company, we believe that designing ultra-tough HDPE boats requires more than just advanced engineering—it’s about real-world durability. Our experienced naval architects leverage cutting-edge computer software to validate the strength and performance of every vessel we design. From simulations to stress tests, our boats are built with precision, strength, and longevity in mind. But we know real life is different. That’s why we put our boats through gruelling, hands-on testing that pushes them to their limits in real-world conditions. And yes, we have a bit of fun doing it! This rigorous testing ensures that our boats can take whatever our customers throw at them. At Resolut, we don’t just design boats for the water; we design boats for people who depend on them. Trust, reliability, and endurance come built-in with every vessel we produce. Here’s to making waves and staying resolute! 🌊 #ResolutBoats #HDPEBoats #NavalArchitecture #BuiltTough

Somec Navale, part of #Horizons, has been awarded orders worth €65.5 million, including €16mn under option, for the construction of seven #newbuild cruise liners in collaboration with leading shipyards across #Finland, #Germany, and #Italy. In 4thQ/24, order intake exceeded ~€148mn in challenging and innovative projects in both naval architectures and curtain walls.   🛳️ What’s on deck? - Turnkey #balcony systems: cabin windows, doors, and vertical sliding components. - #Glazing for upper deck bows with innovative sunshades. - High-performance sliding doors and windows, designed for mechanical resistance, thermal insulation, and #sustainability.   📅 Deliveries are scheduled between June 2027 and mid-2030, with the financials impacting the 2ndH/2025 through 1stH/2029.   #worldleaderinmarineglazing #NavalEngineering #qualitàcostruttivaitaliana #SomecNavale #CruiseIndustry

🚢 Optimizing Ship Design: Wave Resistance and Efficiency 🌊 In naval architecture, understanding the balance of wave resistance (C_W), residual resistance (C_R), and frictional resistance (C_F) is key to improving ship performance. These factors, along with concepts like the Froude number (Fn)and slenderness coefficient, help engineers design vessels that move more efficiently through water. One fascinating insight is how wave interference between the bow and stern can either boost or reduce resistance, depending on their phase. This plays a crucial role in fuel efficiency and sustainability. By mastering these principles, we’re able to craft ships that are not only faster but also more energy-efficient, paving the way for a more sustainable future in maritime transport. 🌍 #NavalArchitecture #ShipDesign #WaveResistance #Sustainability #Efficiency
