Caltech's biohybrid robotic jellyfish to collect deep-sea data
Enabling the biohybrid jellyfish to record information about ocean temperatures, salinity and oxygen levels — all of which are impacted by the Earth's climate — is that the jellyfish are outfitted with electronics.
Using fiber optic cables to signal tsunami events
An emerging tsunami warning network makes use of the existing 1 million miles of fiber optic cables that traverse the ocean floor.
Yokogawa provides remote operation/monitoring system and video monitoring solution for Japan's largest wind farm
The remote operation and monitoring system includes a video system for the monitoring of all the offshore and onshore wind power generating facilities at this wind farm.
Underwater robot promises to autonomously reduce biofouling on ships
The researchers suggest that ScrubMarine promises to cut fuel costs, reduce maintenance needs and minimize environmental impact for ships, boats and submarines.
Navigating sustainability in the marine shipping industry
Sustainability for marine vessels is about more than just energy efficiency. It also requires a hard analysis and on the vessel’s waste and its numerous effects on the environment, including marine ecosystems.
Video: Planning the world’s first ammonia-powered container ship
The vessel will provide emissions-free service along the 818 km/508 mile maritime corridor between Norway and Germany.
Ireland's most notable engineers and innovations
As St. Patrick’s Day nears, raise a glass – preferably of Guinness– to celebrate the engineers who have helped shape Ireland's infrastructure and harnessed its natural resources to drive global progress.
World’s longest subsea cable now switched on
Commercial operations have been initiated for the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector, transmitting wind turbine-generated electricity from Denmark to the U.K.
A design to scale down floating wind energy costs
A shallow draft prototype designed to reduce offshore wind energy system costs is now being tested off the Massachusetts coast.
Ship propulsion in the digital age
Until very recently, designing a marine propulsion system for a ship had been an analog process. Yet, when it came to propeller design – specifically in areas such as diameter, number of blades, blade pitch and more – the design process was as much art as science.
Video: Hydrogen-fueled tugboat goes to work
The world’s first hydrogen-fueled tugboat is propelled by two BeHydro V12 dual-fuel medium-speed combustion engines, each generating 2 MW.
Nuclear fuel filtered from the sea
A treated carbon cloth efficiently harvests uranium ions from the marine environment.
The Port Authority of Livorno chooses MATE exoskeletons to improve ergonomics and employee safety
The MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device were demonstrated to reduce the effort of operators by up to 30%.
Video: This offshore wind farm is first to feed US grid
New York’s South Fork Wind has become the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in federal waters to power up and deliver electricity to the grid.
Largest material handler for ports introduced by Fuchs
With an output of up to 670 hp and a service weight of up to 330,700 lbs, the F120 MH is reportedly the largest and heaviest Fuchs machine so far.
6,000 M open face rated coax cable assemblies introduced by BIRNS
New solutions provide extraordinarily high-quality signal transmission and pressure resistance.
Mantis shrimp-inspired robot designed for underwater exploration
The mantis shrimp-inspired robot could be used in applications such as exploring and monitoring narrow and difficult-to-reach underwater environments inhabited by various species of animals and minerals.
Cargo ship to cruise with WindWings
These solid wing sails offer up to a 30% average fuel reduction for bulk carriers, tankers and other large shipping vessels on global routes by combining wind propulsion with route optimization.
FPT Industrial rides the wave of sustainability, efficiency and powerful innovation at METSTRADE
Marine propulsion systems showcased focus on environmental protection, hybrid propulsion, smart solutions and future-oriented collaborations.
Preventing failures in offshore wind power cable installations
A new code of practice is intended to improve installation of underwater power cables in offshore wind systems.
