I first met Danielle Southcott while she was building Ceiba, a wooden sailing vessel to ship green cargoes up and down the west coast of the Americas. She now plans steel boxships with sails and hydrogen. She is demonstrating what happens when talking turns into action. Is it going to work commercially and technically? Possibly. But she is turning the dial quicker than others and making people take note and finding the money to do so. #twtech #hydrogeneconomy #windpropulsion Veer.Voyage https://lnkd.in/gDU3mnTU

This week we participated in something both exciting and important as we actively joined the dialogue in the working group on the upcoming global Safety Standard for Crashworthiness (ISO/TC 269/SC 2/WG 11/SG)   There are many indications that the experience from practical collisions with resulting derailments will become a recommendation updating the standards for the Safety Standard for Crashworthiness.   Green Buffers’ contribution in the process is to ensure that the buffers in the train connections are not too stiff for energy absorption as the load at which the buffers system collapse at is not the same throughout the train set, but still robust to keep the train on the track in the event of an accident.     In the rail business, derailments occur during collisions below 36 km/h. This is caused due to the fact that energy absorption is too stiff. (Standard requirement today is only at 36 km/h, and not up to 36 km/h)   Derailments can be minimized using softer energy absorption so that the energy is spread throughout the train set. In these cases, Green Buffers can contribute to the safety of the rail business and minimize derailments to offer balanced energy absorption in the buffers of the train connections.     Please stay tuned for coming updates on future standards for safer trains.       Let us continue the journey of improvement and the progress made in the safety culture of the rail industry.     #railwaysafety #StayOnTrack #Sustainable #Availability #Reshoring #SSAB  #STRENX #BILFINGER #Cooperation #Partnership #GreenBuffers #DalarnaSciencePark   #AWARDS; Stiftelsen SKAPA Foundation in memory of Alfred Nobel and the Swedish Steel Prize by SSAB

In this year's Industry Monitor, Richard Byrne, Group HSE and Fleet Director at Travis Perkins, spoke about the process of decarbonising the company's fleet... "We are in the process of switching out 900 diesel forklift trucks to electric, have purchased 400 Hiab UK cranes to improve fuel economy and safety, and invested in 170 Volvo Trucks UK FM 330 6x2 rear-steer rigids with Euro-6e diesel engines," he said. "In 2021, we also started to use hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a replacement fuel for diesel in vehicles, something we see as a transition fuel until the infrastructure for electric vehicles improves and we get more certainty from the government about its vision for future long-term solutions such as hydrogen. "Construction has a key role to play in decarbonising the built environment, but faced with a market that remains challenging, in which skills shortages, fleet running and compliance costs are rising, there are more obstacles to overcome to maintain the pace needed to reach net zero." 🌍 You can read more in our Industry Monitor 2024.

Excited to share a recent case study from our ODS (Operating Deflection Shape) analysis project! At Machinery Consultation and Services Pty Ltd, we're committed to delivering comprehensive insights into machinery health, and our recent work in QLD, Australia underscores this commitment. In this project, we used ODS to delve deep into a customer's machinery dynamics and to study machine movement. In the below video, you'll observe abnormal movement captured by ODS technology. Notably, the motor base exhibits out-of-phase movement in the vertical direction, detecting potential issues. Moreover, both the decanter and motor display axial misalignment, hinting at pulley and belt concerns. Additionally, horizontal movement out of phase prompts further investigation. This thorough analysis lays the groundwork for targeted interventions. Our team is poised to conduct in-depth investigations and implement structural modifications as needed. Furthermore, we're exploring the potential deployment of mechanical absorbers to optimize performance and mitigate risks. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to leverage ODS for actionable insights and tangible improvements in machinery reliability and performance. www.mcsturbo.com info@mcsturbo.com #ODS #MotionAmplification #MachineryHealth #EngineeringExcellence #CaseStudy #QLD #Australia #MechanicalAnalysis

Silverstream’s efforts in the container segment continue to go from strength to strength. We are delighted to have A.P. Moller - Maersk as a customer, and that the Silverstream® System will feature on a range of their vessels, across both newbuild and retrofit orders. Maersk has plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 and is aiming for more than 25% of the company’s transported cargo to be shipped by green fuels by 2030. We are proud to add our air lubrication technology, which cuts net fuel burn and emissions by 5-10%, to the array of tactics Maersk is using to reach these ambitious goals. We are using our global footprint and collaborative partnerships with both Maersk and CSSC shipyard in China to make these installations a reality. This builds on our strong experience working with CSSC across a range of vessel types, including LNG carriers. Our CEO, Noah Silberschmidt, said: “Working with Maersk to install our Silverstream® System onboard their vessels is another important step towards greener container shipping. Our relationship with Maersk highlights that our technology is both a here-and-now solution for vessel efficiency, as well as being a key component in shipping’s future energy transition. We offer a fuel-agnostic solution that solves the fundamental challenge of vessel efficiency, and we are very proud that Silverstream will act as a lifetime efficiency partner to Maersk.” Visit the fleet tracker on our website to see the ships we're currently helping to cut the fuel bills and emissions of, including the MAERSK HORSBURGH: https://lnkd.in/eYBSBzia #Shipping #Maritime #Sustainability #AirLubrication

Our angel investment (and follow-ons since then) Norsepower can become a large part of reducing emissions in shipping. How does the rotor sail work? This video. 😀 https://lnkd.in/dmgmz2Gs
