Dynautics, having developed control systems for a wide variety of surface and subsurface vessels, is diving into the methods and technologies for controlling wave propelled craft. 🌊 Using wave energy for propulsion is beneficial for the environment, enabling net-zero emissions and increasing the range on USV and UUV expeditions, as the vessels are essentially surrounded by their fuel, perfect for persistence, long-term missions. In the full article, Dynautics goes on to outline: 💡 Optimizing Limited Energy Supply ⚓️ Efficiency and Resilience ♻️ Zero Carbon Data Collection Dynautics’ bespoke ‘power generation controller’ — designed for the company’s long-term partner AutoNaut — manages battery charging from photovoltaic panels and the power supply for instruments and communications. It is designed to provide remotely monitored and remotely resettable circuit breakers which swiftly protect the system in the event of overload in any circuit. 🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02xmdxY0 Find out more on the Ocean Science & Technology website. #subsea #technology #navigation #propulsion #environment

Deep Dive into a Vessel's Heart! Got a chance to get a deep dive into the heart of a vessel's propulsion system today! Analyzed the configuration of the dual main engines and twin generators, impressed by their design and efficiency. Examined the oily water separator, a crucial component for environmental protection, understanding its critical role in keeping our oceans clean. Also closely inspected various other engine room machinery, gaining a deeper appreciation for the complexity of these marine marvels. Fascinating to see how these systems work together to keep the vessel running smoothly. #marineengineering #shiplife #vesselinspection Voyage Marine Group Voyage Marine Automation Voyage Institute of Technology

Always better and less expensive when designed in from the start.

Underwater radiated noise (URN) produced by commercial ships and its impact on marine life is a rising concern that may be confusing for many shipowners. However, devising solutions doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. In this month’s issue of Maritime Reporter, Noise Control Engineering President Jesse Spence discusses the importance of considering URN during the early phases of vessel design to ensure the most effective noise-reducing technologies are selected and will mesh with other non-acoustical design goals.

Wind assisted propulsion in maritime seems to be gaining more traction every day. Read about a new wind optimized Aframax/LRII tanker, which has great fuel efficiency potential, in this article.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Today, we're at the Welsh Government’s marine licensing workshop, focusing on the invaluable insights gained from seabed mapping.  The workshop is shedding light on the critical data required for effective marine spatial planning, exemplified by the list needed for offshore wind farm assessments: 🚢 Collision Risk 🔊 Underwater Noise 🔌 Electromagnetic Fields 🌿 Benthic and Pelagic Habitats 🌊 Oceanographic Systems 🔌 Subsea Cables 🌱 Environmental Monitoring Technologies 📈 Data Transferability 📊 Cumulative Impact Each facet underscores the necessity for enhanced ocean floor mapping, acting as the cornerstone for informed decision-making in marine development.  #SeabedMapping #MarinePlanning #OceanConservation #Hydrospatial

Check out the latest #VoltSafe news in the Coast Reporter about our marine shore power pedestal innovation. No arcing or shocks, means a safer and more dependable way to connect to power for boaters and marinas. We recently received funding through the B.C. Fast Pilot Program from Innovate BC to advance our strategic roadmap for our disruptive marine magnetic connector and accompanying software. Read the article .. 👇👇👇 #marine #shorepower

IHO Water Level Information for Surface Navigation will enable the navigator on the bridge, among other stakeholders, to identify the difference between safe and unsafe waters, using dynamic data directly on the ECDIS. S-102 is for Bathymetric Surface data and S-104 is for Water Level data. This #innovation will be of huge value for #RIS and #maritime users.

The wind speed is measured at different altitudes from 20 to 280 metres, while water parameters are measured at depths of up to four metres. Ignitis Group OW Ocean Winds Fugro #offshorewind #renewableenergy

A Vertical Wind Tunnel (VWT) moves air up instead of sideways. Horizontal Wind tunnels are great for testing lift. Vertical Wind Tunnels are useful because the orientation enables gravity to be countered by drag instead of lift, as experienced in an aircraft spin or by a skydiver at terminal velocity. Indoor skydiving uses vertical wind tunnels to simulate falling. So if you ever wanted to know what being inside a wind tunnel is like, these places let you float inside of one. #Skydiving #verticalwindtunnel #windtunnel
