Putting ocean plastic to good use: Powering cleanup vessels
Converting retrieved waste into oil via hydrothermal liquefaction eliminates the need for land disposal of some of the plastic and can markedly reduce shipboard fossil fuel use and attendant emissions.
Acoustic waves wash microplastics from water
The force produced by acoustic waves generated with two speakers was demonstrated to separate microplastics by increasing pressure on a three-channel tube of inflowing water.
Video: Federal green light for New York’s first offshore wind farm
The 132 MW South Fork Wind project will be located 35 miles east of Montauk Point, New York.
Real-time subsea meter calibration tool serves the oil and gas sector
The software tool for verification of subsea multiphase flow meters will help operators optimize reservoir management and revenues.
First US cable plant to supply the offshore wind sector
High-voltage subsea cables up to 525 kV DC and 400 kV AC, covering the range of needed products for export cables for offshore wind and subsea interconnectors, will be manufactured.
Watch an electric autonomous cargo ship set sail
Without emissions and soon to be without a crew, the world’s first electric and self-propelled container ship has completed its maiden voyage.
Smart buoy prevents fishing gear loss
The economic and environmental tolls associated with lost commercial fishing nets may be stemmed with the advent of a sensor system that provides real-time tracking and monitoring of deployed fishing gear.
Video: Electric hydrofoiling ferry is battery-powered
Powered by a 9,000 kWh battery, the vessel has a range of up to 100 nautical miles and cruise speed of 40 knots, double that of existing electric ferries.
Next-gen data-acquisition system establishes new standards in digital shipping
METIS Cyberspace Technology SA has launched the next generation of its automated data-acquisition system, Ship Connect, in a move which enhances data transfer and monitoring while also enabling the development of ship performance analytics based on standard protocols.
Now producing power: The world’s largest floating windfarm
The world’s largest floating windfarm is now fully commissioned and delivering renewable electricity to Scotland’s grid.
Three power sources to propel new cruise ships
The hybrid ships will set sail in the summer of 2023 with a trio of power sources.
Marines deploy robot in underwater explosives detonation
“This robot gives Marines eyes in the water,” said Master Sgt. Patrick Hilty, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal project officer at MCSC. “It is a capability the Marine Corps has never before had.”
Optimize turbine siting to maximize offshore wind system efficiency
Power production, wind farm wake intensity and extent, and wake-induced power losses from planned large offshore wind farms are considered.
Offshore wind crew transfer vessel is methanol-fueled
The design is intended to bring the offshore wind industry closer to eliminating carbon emissions from the supply chain.
ABNN increases detection capabilities in sonar
Detection becomes more pronounced as the network continually cycles through the entire training dataset, accentuating the weighted nodes and disregarding irrelevant information.
Power cable components validated for offshore wind platform prototype
Dynamic cable and mooring components have been designed for a hybrid concrete-plastic floating windfarm.
New 2 GW standard to accelerate offshore wind deployment in Europe
The energy transmission standard will help accelerate the integration of offshore wind energy capacity onto European grids.
Nuclear transport ship is fully recycled
The decommissioned nuclear transport ship has been fully recycled, a first for the U.K.
Marine mapping tool designed to inform better decisions
One important use envisioned for the tool will be bringing marine protection into offshore wind energy planning programs.
