𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧, 𝐒𝐦𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞 aims to ensure that these ships are tailor-made for the specific demands of the route connecting Europe, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland while adhering to stringent international emission standards. Notably, these eco-friendly vessels will significantly reduce emissions per transported ton compared to their predecessors, thanks to advanced features such as a battery system and shore power capability for emission-free port operations. Moreover, the ships will be primed to run on e-methanol, underscoring Smyril Line's commitment to embracing sustainable energy sources for a 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. #shippingindustry #environmentalsustainability #maritimetransport #RoRoShips #CIMCRaffles #SmyrilLine #greenenergy #EmissionStandards #NorthAtlanticRoute #KnudEHansen #EcoFriendlyShips #emissionreduction #EcoMaritimeTechnology #EcoMethanol NC: Offshore Energy

The maritime industry is usually slow, regulated and capital intensive. One doesn’t come across game changing innovations often in such “business as usual” industries (slow pace of innovation can also be credited to high levels of international trade dependency and reliance, favouring stability). Blue Marlin stands out as a visionary, proving that with the right blend of engineering brilliance and creative problem-solving, the ocean’s mightiest challenges are no match for human innovation. Blue Marlin isn’t just a ship—it’s a game-changing innovation. Owned by Dockwise shipping of the Netherlands, this semi-submersible giant redefines what’s possible on the high seas, effortlessly transporting the world’s largest cargo, from massive oil rigs to retired naval vessels. What sets Blue Marlin apart is its ingenious design. Measuring 224.6 meters in length and powered by a 16,950-horsepower engine, this vessel can submerge its deck to load enormous structures and then rise to transport them across oceans. It’s a feat of engineering that pushes the boundaries of maritime logistics. But Blue Marlin isn’t just about raw power; it’s also a floating fortress with 38 cabins, a gym, sauna, swimming pool, and a citadel for pirate protection, making it as comfortable as it is capable. From rescuing the USS Cole to hauling the 60,000-ton Thunder Horse oil platform, Blue Marlin has been at the forefront of some of the most challenging projects. With a lift-off capacity of 100 tons, this ship is more than just a transport vessel. #maritime #ships #saliors #logistics #shipbuilding

Safety is a critical issue for ferry companies across the world. Artemis Technologies Ltd’s revolutionary 100% electric foiling Artemis EF-24 Passenger ferry is designed to meet IMO’s global safety standards Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/dUXyy5bc The International Maritime Organization’s High-Speed Craft (IMO HSC) Code provides globally recognised levels of safety in personnel, ship construction, equipment and operation. Dr Iain Percy, CEO of Artemis Technologies, said: “It is very important to us that we are building our Artemis EF-24 Passenger to meet the standards set by the HSC Code. We cannot, and do not need to, compromise on safety as we work towards our mission to decarbonise high-speed maritime transport. It is critical that we adhere to the global standards within this respected code."

The Netherlands is looking at how to ensure safer navigation in an increasingly crowded North Sea after an incident that highlighted the risk of striking fixed and floating objects. In 2022, the Maltese-flagged bulk carrier Julietta D encountered problems during a storm in the North Sea off IJmuiden. The vessel went adrift and struck another anchored vessel before alliding with the foundations of a future wind turbine and an under-construction transformer platform.   The incident was investigated by the Maltese Marine Safety Investigation Unit, but as it was just one of a series of similar accidents the Dutch Safety Board opened an investigation into risk management for shipping in the North Sea. North Sea crowding The North Sea is surprisingly crowded, home to 160 oil and gas rigs, defense training areas, Natura 2000 areas and sand and shell extraction activity. Add to this around 700 wind turbines in zones restricted to navigation, 7,000km of undersea pipelines and 4,000km of cables, all in conflict with conventional shipping activity. Dutch renewable energy ambitions alone will see these numbers increase. It has emerged that there is only limited understanding of subsequent risks to maritime safety, with “multiple gaps” in decision making and risk analysis processes, an aspect examined in detail. Decisions taken now on the installation of fixed objects will present risk implications between 2030 and 2050, with thousands of such objects expected to appear post-2030, including hydrogen and ammonia production offshore requiring transport shorewards by pipeline or tanker. With shipping also expected to increase and no traffic management system in the greater part of the North Sea, the Dutch Safety Board believes shipping safety must evolve to match the increasing complexity from wind energy and shipping scale-up. While considering the implications for its own waters and ports, the Netherlands recognizes the issues involve all countries bordering the North Sea, defined internationally as where unobstructed passage of vessels must be protected.

Dutch vessel operator Acta Marine will expand its French fleet with a new walk-to-work vessel to bring the number to four. CSOV Acta Pegasus will be added to Auriga, Centaurus and Orion when she is delivered to France from Turkey. An Ulstein SX216 design, Acta Marine says the new vessel ‘symbolises Acta Marine’s next significant advancement in green and efficient walk-to-work operations’. “With an optimised hull form and ability to use e-methanol as main fuel, this vessel class is capable of delivering a dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the start of her operations,” Acta Marine says. Acta Marine was founded in 2005 after Dutch workboat firms Waterweg and Van Stee merged. The two companies had existed since the 1970s, always working in the workboat sector until Acta Marine embarked on its voyage into offshore wind in 2015, when it bought 10 crew transfer vessels from an existing operator. It didn’t stop there – in the same year, Acta Marine bought its first purpose-built walk-to-work vessel, Acta Orion, a significantly larger investment in a vessel than it had made before. It now has three dedicated walk-to-work vessels, with Acta Auriga and Acta Centaurus later additions to the fleet, to become four when Pegasus is delivered. Acta Marine says it is placing emphasis on growing its position and operations in the French market. Keep up to date with the latest industry news on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/eCM69Rpq

Whether you're zipping under the city, crossing the harbour, or passing through a mountain, tunnels are crucial to Australia's road and rail networks. These feats of engineering, some stretching up to nine kilometres, require precise planning and constant upkeep. The research into tunnel line marking ensures safety, preventing disasters we only want to see in movies like Daylight. While most don’t notice, road markings are essential for safety. At Dolphin Line Marking, we value the CSIRO’s efforts in testing and accrediting road marking materials, ensuring durability and performance for safer travel. 🌟 #Infrastructure#Safety#Engineering#Innovation CSIRO
