🌊 On this year's #WorldOceanDay, we are taking the chance to express that here at Diving Status, we are committed to revolutionizing eco-friendly hull cleaning through our innovative ECOHULLCLEAN system. From 2019 to 2023, we collaborated with the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) to develop this cutting-edge solution for biofouling management with reclaim and filtration capabilities. ECOHULLCLEAN sets a new standard in the maritime industry by: - Capturing and separating biofouling while purifying the water. - Enhancing vessel performance and operational efficiency. - Safeguarding marine ecosystems and promoting environmental stewardship. This World Ocean Day, we celebrate our dedication to sustainable practices and the transformative impact of ECOHULLCLEAN. Together, we’re paving the way for cleaner seas and a healthier planet for future generations. 🌎🚢 #EcoFriendly #HullCleaning #DivingStatus #MarineResearch #Sustainability #CleanerSeas #ECOHULLCLEAN #MaritimeInnovation

Embracing electric propulsion for sustainable boating 🌿⛵ Meet Dale and Alison, proud owners of the Kingsley barge ‘Sacred’, who have embraced electric propulsion for their vessel, setting a new standard in eco-friendly cruising. 🔋⚡ Electric cruising offers a dream lifestyle for barge and canal boat enthusiasts, with quiet navigation, zero emissions, and minimal vibration, all while reducing fuel costs and environmental impact. 💡 Fischer Panda UK has supplied and fitted ‘Sacred’ with a diesel electric hybrid power system to ensure seamless cruising, powered by solar energy in the summer and supplemented by the generator in the winter months. 🚤 With Fischer Panda UK’s innovative solutions, boat owners like Dale and Alison can enjoy hassle-free maintenance, quiet cruising, and significant cost savings while contributing to a greener future for our waterways.

[Sailors for the Sea Powered by Oceana ] is the world’s leading ocean conservation organization that engages, educates, and activates the sailing and boating community toward restoring ocean health. and one of the most exciting communities I have discovered lately they provide key 3 programs one of them is called (Green Boat) By signing up, you join the community and become a Green Boater. You receive a Green Boating Guide that answers questions like which non-toxic cleaning products work, how to anchor properly without damaging marine habitat, and what you need for spillproof fueling. https://lnkd.in/d5wiK6Vs what an interesting engaging tool :)

This first-of-its-kind, independent and peer-reviewed research resulted in the most comprehensive lifecycle assessment ever conducted on recreational vessel usage and emissions reduction. While recreational boats account for less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the research revealed there is no one-size-fits-all solution and a portfolio of propulsion technologies are needed to further decarbonize, from #sustainable marine fuels to #hydrogenfuel to #electricandhybridvehicles.

The Environmental Impacts of Motorboats: Challenges and Opportunities Motorboats are a popular form of recreation and transportation. However, they can also have a negative impact on the environment. Some of the environmental impacts of motorboats include: Air pollution Water pollution Noise pollution Habitat destruction Air Pollution Motorboats emit air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can contribute to smog, acid rain, and climate change. Water Pollution Motorboats can pollute water with oil, gasoline, and sewage. This pollution can harm marine life and make water unsafe for swimming and fishing. Noise Pollution Motorboats can produce loud noise, which can disturb wildlife and people. Habitat Destruction Motorboats can damage coastal habitats such as wetlands and seagrass beds. These habitats are important for marine life and can help to protect shorelines from erosion. Challenges There are a number of challenges to addressing the environmental impacts of motorboats. These challenges include: The lack of awareness of the environmental impacts of motorboats The cost of developing and implementing new technologies to reduce emissions and pollution The difficulty of enforcing regulations on motorboat use Opportunities There are also a number of opportunities to address the environmental impacts of motorboats. These opportunities include: Educating boaters about the environmental impacts of their activities Developing and implementing new technologies to reduce emissions and pollution Encouraging the use of cleaner and more efficient motorboats Protecting and restoring coastal habitats Conclusion The environmental impacts of motorboats are a serious problem. However, there are a number of challenges and opportunities to address this problem. By working together, we can make motorboating more sustainable and environmentally friendly. What You Can Do There are a number of things you can do to help reduce the environmental impacts of motorboating.

Our panel discussion in Šibenik showed us that greywater isn't as innocent as it seems, and it's high time we shed light on this silent menace to our oceans. 🌊🌎 Explore this eye-opening topic to understand the real risks and what nautical tourism can do to safeguard our planet here: https://bit.ly/3QbRVZs

The SolarYacht community is reinventing luxurious #Yachtlife by creating a #sustainable #lifestyle on on the water. #irsallaBoatLife ☀️ Limitless #solarenergy The sun provides more than enough #energy to meet the whole world's energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won't run out anytime soon. The amount of energy the sun radiates in a day is more than the energy used by the world population in a year. Solar energy can be easily converted into electricity with the help of photovoltaic technolog. 🔋 As a #renewable energy source, the only limitation of #solarpower is our ability to turn it into electricity efficiently and storage the energy cost-effectively. Batteries help solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. Solar energy production can be affected by season, time of day, clouds, dust, haze, or obstructions like shadows, rain, snow, and dirt. 🛥 Although using energy storage is never 100% efficient - some energy is always lost in converting energy and retrieving it - the battery storage allows the flexible use of energy at different times from when it was generated. The battery pack can increase system efficiency and resilience, and it can improve power quality by matching supply and demand on board the #SolarYacht. Without the solar energy storage, electricity must be generated and consumed at the same time. If you don’t use the energy, it’d be wasted—and you wouldn’t be able to use it at night. 🔋🔌🛥 #floatingChargingStation As a solution, SOLARYACHT developed based on the established low volt battery system the #SolarChargingStation - a floating battery storage with bidirectional charging function to provide renewable solar energy on the water for boats🔋⚡️ Follow us and read more about the Future of #sustainbiliy on the water Powered by solar.
