We proudly presents the first images of the 70-meter Arctic Research Vessel (KEH ARV-70), meticulously designed for the Danish National Institute of Aquatic Resources (DTU Aqua). Over the past year, the Dansk Dana Konsortium (DDK)—a partnership between #KNUDEHANSEN (KEH) and OMT - Odense Maritime Technology (OMT)—has transformed the initial 68-meter concept into an extensive 70-m tender design. This evolution encompasses comprehensive engineering, propeller design, model testing (ice, maneuvering, seakeeping, cavitation, and self-propulsion tests), underwater noise analysis, and innovative measures to minimize bubble sweep down, culminating in a state-of-the-art Polar-class research vessel. DTU Aqua has now released a public tender for the detailed design and construction and delivery of the vessel, named ‘DANA V’. Courtesy of Visit Greenland, and background photo by Jason C. Hill.

🚢🌊 Reviving the Danube's Navigation: The Bala Branch Project 🌊🚢   The Danube River, especially between km 375 and km 175, faced significant challenges due to the shifting water flow towards the Bala Branch. Over decades, this branch began diverting more of the Danube’s flow, reaching an astonishing 80% by 2013. This shift risked the atrophy of the old Danube channel, posing serious threats to both the environment and water supply downstream 🌍.   To address these challenges, a crucial project was launched to restore the balance by constructing a bottom sill, redirecting water flow back into the old Danube. Our dedicated Marine Research team was integral to this mission, collecting detailed #bathymetric data using the Kongsberg Maritime #GeoSwath Plus Compact 250 kHz #multibeam system and the Trimble Applanix POS MV #WaveMaster positioning system, over the course of several campaigns. The series of images captured shows the remarkable transformation of the riverbed from May 2013 to September 2014. 📊🌐   This project underscores the power of engineering solutions, bolstered by modern marine research technology, in safeguarding our waterways for future generations 🌱🚤.   #DanubeRestoration #MarineResearch #BalaBranchProject #RiverMorphology #Hydrography #GeoSwathPlus #TrimbleApplanix #WaterwayManagement #SustainableNavigation #DanubeRiver #EnvironmentalProtection #WaterwayInnovation #RiverEngineering #EcoFriendly #NavigationSolutions #MarineScience #EngineeringExcellence

The research vessel RV Flip is the only vessel in the world capable of shifting from horizontal to vertical position in the middle of the ocean. Flip is not a small ship, it is about 108 meters long and weighs 700 tons Engineers designed it to be able to move to a vertical position with 90 degrees straight, so that the front of the ship at the top is 17 meters high (i.e. a 5-storey building high) while at the bottom is submerged 91 meters long, i.e. that most of the ship is submerged underwater. Which helps the ship's stability and resistance to waves, the transformation process takes about 30 minutes, in which the seawater is pumped into huge tanks in the back of the ship, which makes it sink into the water to become the ship in a vertical position, and this ship is considered one of the most important ships in the field of scientific research of seas and oceans.. #RVFLIP #MarineInnovation #OceanResearch #EngineeringMarvel #ScientificExploration #MarineScience #Oceanography #ResearchVessel #EngineeringExcellence #SustainabilityAtSea #WaveStability #InnovationInScience #OceanTech #SeaExploration #FutureOfResearch

#Buoys #buoys #buoys. 🌊🛳️ The IHO S-100 universe supports a variety of different ocean domains, with several international and intergovernmental organizations developing Product Specifications for their specific fields. IALA for example is developing the S-200 range, among which is the S-201 Aids to Navigation Information, which provides supplementary details on beacons, racons, #lights, sound signals, Automatic Identification Systems, and buoys—today’s feature in the #hydrography #adventcalendar. The S-201 can be used to exchange AtoN information in a consistent form between #Lighthouse Authorities, Hydrographic Offices, and other organizations, including commercial and professional agencies. By providing a common structure for AtoN information, it helps prevent accidents and ensures that navigational aids are accurately charted and maintained. 🌐🔍 If you want to know more, visit: https://lnkd.in/dF4hQspA #navigation #hydrography #ocean #sea #maritime #IHO #safety #safetyofnavigation
