OMV Petrom has signed framework cooperation agreements with “Nikola Vaptsarov” Naval Academy and the Institute of Oceanology "Fridtjof Nansen" in Varna, Bulgaria. These agreements aim to foster long-term collaboration in education, R&D, and innovation, promoting modern offshore industry practices and sustainable initiatives in the Black Sea amongst Bulgarian students and specialists. 🌊 They are also a basis for further working together to find and develop potential joint initiatives. #Education #Innovation #Sustainability #BlackSea #Bulgaria photo: The Institute of Oceanology "Fridtjof Nansen"

VESSEL REVIEW: Chilean shipyard ASMAR has handed over a new polar icebreaker to the Chilean Navy. Designed by Canadian naval architecture firm Vard Marine, 'Almirante Viel' boasts a PC5 class hull that will allow it to operate safely within the Antarctic Polar Circle, particularly in regions with temperatures as low as –30 degrees Celsius. The icrebeaker will also take on secondary missions such as search and rescue (SAR), scientific research, and logistical support, particularly the resupply of Chile’s four research stations on Antarctica. The icebreaker is outfitted to permit scientists to explore the seabed at both high and medium depths, thus enhancing continuous monitoring and providing additional oceanographic information regarding the conditions in Antarctica.

If you are a lover of naval history, you just might realize that the glory days of Naval history ended with the conclusion of World War II. Newer technologies and the advancement of science (i.e. The Atomic Bomb and Intercontinental Missiles) has lead to the almost extinction of strategic Naval Warfare. Smaller faster ships and longer range destructive weaponry has made the Navy of the Second World War a thing of the past. The lack of strategic Naval thinking has also made the Navy void of the great Admirals that were created with the World War. Evan Thomas, quickly becoming one of this generations great writers and biographers, goes into greatest detail about the great Naval commanders of both the United States and Japan and how they shaped the final outcomes of this great conflict. The Naval war in the Pacific from 1941 to 1945 (with pardons to the great British Naval Battles and history) may have been the greatest moments in the Naval history of the world ever. The great behemoths of Naval power, like the dinosaurs, were never so large and powerful, and slowly since then it has been dying off. There are very many great books about World War II Naval history, and I have read a few of them, but Thomas's book by far is very possibly the best of them. If you are new to this field of history, this is the place to start (along with Morison & Borneman). If you are not new to this subject and have not had the pleasure of reading this masterpiece, you must quickly add this to your collection. It will also hook you onto Thomas and his other great books.

The Latin phrase "Sic Parvis Magna" translates to "Greatness from small beginnings." This phrase is often interpreted to mean that significant achievements or greatness can emerge from humble origins or modest starts. The phrase gained popularity through its association with Sir Francis Drake, who used it as his motto, symbolizing his rise from modest circumstances to great achievements in exploration and naval endeavors. #greatness #success #motto

A timeless duo: Fort Carée and Port Vauban Together, they tell a story of defense, commerce, and the strategic importance of Antibes throughout the centuries. Perched on the Saint-Roch peninsula, Fort Carrée stands as a proud sentinel overlooking Antibes and the Mediterranean Sea. Constructed in the 16th century under the orders of King Henry II of France, the fort was part of a broader effort to strengthen coastal defenses against foreign invaders, particularly from Spain and the Ottoman Empire. Designed by the renowned military engineer, Henri de Mandon, and later modified by the famous architect Vauban, the fort is a textbook example of star-shaped military architecture. This design, with its four bastions, allowed for optimal defense against artillery attacks and provided a strategic vantage point to observe incoming threats from the sea. Just below Fort Carrée lies Port Vauban, one of the largest and most prestigious marinas in the Mediterranean. Named after the military engineer Vauban, who also influenced the fort’s design, Port Vauban has a history that stretches back to ancient times when Antibes, then known as Antipolis, was a thriving Greek trading post. Over the centuries, the port has evolved from a military harbor into a bustling commercial port and, most recently, into a modern marina catering to the world's most luxurious yachts. It boasts over 1,500 berths, including the famous "Quai des Milliardaires", where some of the largest and most extravagant yachts in the world are docked. Two landmarks offering a unique window into the past while remaining integral to the town's present and future. #antibes #frenchriviera #history

I've been following the thoughts and writings of Naval Ravikant for a few years now. His ability to pack in so much wisdom in such few words is inspiring. Here's something that i chanced upon. A 12 mins listen to pearls of wisdom from Naval Ravikant. - following your curiosity and going down rabbit holes is the best path to mastery - only real progress is self progress, where you compare yourself to where you were previously - Markers of progress are a fit body, calm mind and loving family.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 Today, it’s #WorldMaritimeDay. This year’s theme “𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦: 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵!” highlights safety in its broadest sense. As Nevesbu we want to take a moment to reflect on the vital role the maritime industry plays in ensuring safety worldwide. The submarines and naval vessels we design play an important role in this. They are deployed for critical missions, from gathering intelligence undercover to tracking down enemies and combating piracy. The technology behind these vessels is highly advanced. Additionally, they must meet extremely stringent requirements, making the design of submarines and naval vessels a complex puzzle—one Nevesbu has been solving with great enthusiasm since 1935. The image below shows the principal characteristics of the first submarines we designed: the Sep and Orzel. Following this design, Nevesbu worked on the designs of many other submarines. We contributed to the design of all Dutch submarines and those of various navies across different continents. And we also worked on numerous naval vessels for various navies worldwide. Today, on World Maritime Day, we are especially proud that for nearly 90 years, we have been contributing to safety at and from sea by providing advanced naval architecture services. #nevesbu #navalarchitecture #marineengineering #submarineengineering #navalvesselengineering

Carthage at War: Punic Armies c. 814-146 BC Get this book UK at https://amzn.to/3mCy1ec Get the book USA at https://amzn.to/45S2ndP The Carthaginians are well known as Rome's great enemy of the three Punic wars and Hannibal, their greatest general, is a household name. While narrative histories of the Punic wars (especially the second) and biographies of Hannibal abound, there have been few studies dedicated to detailed analysis of Carthaginian armies and warfare throughout the city-state's entire existence. Joshua Hall puts that right with this in-depth study of their tactics, equipment, unit organization, army composition and operational effectiveness. Discussion of Carthage's navy is also included. A section on naval warfare is also included. Importantly, while the Second Punic War is rightly given prominence, this is not at the expense of the many earlier wars Carthage waged as she built and then defended her empire. Drawing on all the available archaeological and literary evidence, the author shows the development of Carthage's forces and methods of warfare from the ninth century BC to the city's demise. The result is the most in-depth portrait of the Carthaginian military available in English.
