Energy Efficiency to another level!

https://lnkd.in/d-hukaP7 Why invest in innovative marine technology? 1. Environmental benefits: Investing in innovative marine technology can help address environmental concerns such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. For example, technologies like sustainable aquaculture systems and advanced waste management systems can minimize the impact on marine ecosystems. 2. Economic opportunities: The marine technology sector offers significant economic opportunities. Investing in innovative technologies can lead to the development of new industries and generate jobs. This includes sectors such as offshore renewable energy, marine biotechnology, and autonomous underwater vehicles. 3. Energy diversification: With the world increasingly looking for alternatives to fossil fuels, investing in innovative marine technology can contribute to energy diversification. Technologies like offshore wind farms, tidal energy, and wave energy systems have the potential to provide clean and renewable energy sources. 4. National security: The oceans play a crucial role in national security, including defense, surveillance, and maritime transportation. Investing in technologies that enhance maritime security, such as autonomous systems for surveillance and underwater communication, can bolster national security capabilities. 5. Scientific research: Innovative marine technology can significantly enhance scientific research and exploration of the oceans. Technologies like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), submersibles, and oceanographic instruments enable scientists to study marine biodiversity, climate change impacts, and oceanographic phenomena. 6. Human well-being: Investing in marine technology can contribute to the well-being of coastal communities and enhance their resilience to climate change and natural disasters. Technologies like coastal management systems, early warning systems for tsunamis, and desalination plants can improve the quality of life and safety of coastal populations. Overall, investing in innovative marine improves the marine environment.#marinesustainability #arivoonline Arivo Fz LLC Arivo.online

Hydrogen-powered America's Cup chase boat. From the article, "As part of the 37th America’s Cup Protocol for its challengers, under the deed of gift principle that the defender defines the rules of the next AC, Team New Zealand included stringent features for the tenders that are to keep up with the competing AC75s in September 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. The AC defender imposed the supply of at least one flying chase boat powered by 160kW fuel cells running on hydrogen, capable of maintaining 30kts in cruising speed over a minimum 150 nautical miles, while achieving a maximum speed of 50kts for over one hour in total." Whoever wrote these requirement was keen on hydrogen. It's a pity, since dictating the solution is not the way to foster the best technology. Besides, the cup race course is in inside a 2.2 nm box. And since 99% of hydrogen is made from fossil gas, this craft will be far from clean and further from zero-emission. https://lnkd.in/eny5iVMU

NABU ranks Hurtigruten number one in working towards climate protection 🌱 The leading German environmental organisation NABU has recognised our efforts and investments in working towards a more sustainable cruise industry. They've placed Hurtigruten top in their annual climate and environmental protection ranking of cruise lines. Our fleet includes three hybrid ships, and next year, MS Nordlys will join as the fourth with new engines, large battery packs, and hull optimisations. We're proud to lead with innovative designs and technology designed to cut fossil fuel use. Our SeaZero project aims to develop the world's most energy-efficient ship by 2030, featuring contra-rotating propellers, air lubrication, and large batteries for zero-emission sailing. #ESG #Innovation #Hurtigruten #SeaZero #EnvironmentalLeadership Read more about NABU's ranking here: https://ow.ly/hquO50Szo3U 📷 Image Credit: Magdalena Michalka via NABU

WindWing…maybe a new prefix for a vessel type…? We’ve made a few posts about various green technologies, and here’s another we’ve become aware of - the MV (WW?) Pyxis Ocean recently set sail from China, bound for Brazil in her maiden voyage. She’s been fitted with a revolutionary set of WindWings designed by British company, BAR Technologies, who have a pedigree in designing America’s Cup winning racing yachts (and headed up by an ex-Formula One racing car exponent). While they freely admit this is without doubt the slowest moving vessel/vehicle they’ve ever built, they, along with charterer’s Cargill Ocean Transportation, believe this will have the largest impact on the planet. Once unfurled at sea it’s estimated the two 37.5m tall sails will help reduce fuel consumption by 1.5 tonnes per day each, with a consequent 10 tonne per day reduction of Carbon Dioxide emissions. The technology won’t be suitable for all ship types, however given we’ve already seen other wind powered technologies fitted to ship’s calling at #PortHedland, it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes a Wind Powered bulk carrier to turn up here.

“Air Products named as HYDROGEN supplier for 2024 America’s Cup” By Edward Laity - on Sep 01, 2023 “Air Products has been named the official hydrogen supplier of the 37th America’s Cup, sailing competition being held in Barcelona, Spain.” “Taking place in 2024, the race will use hydrogen to power chase boats for the first time, which will follow the AC75 race yachts taking part, with each team required to have one hydrogen-powered chase boat to support its team.” “The Emirates Team New Zealand ‘Chase Zero’ will be the first to use a hydrogen fuel cell chase boat during the Preliminary Regattas, which begins on September 14 and serves as a warm-up ahead of the Challenger Selection Series in August next year.” “The remaining teams, including the UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the US, will begin using hydrogen-powered chase boats from the start of the Final Preliminary regatta next year.” “Grant Dalton, America’s Cup CEO, said, “When we first dreamed of bringing hydrogen-powered foiling chase boats into the America’s Cup we knew we were pushing the limits of current technology and that partnering with companies like Air Products would be necessary to implement the non-existent marine hydrogen infrastructure.”” “Ivo Bols, Air Products’ Executive and President for Europe and Africa, added, “As the world’s largest hydrogen producer, Air Products has made significant investments in clean hydrogen to help spur the energy transition.” “”Through this competition, viewers around the world will be able to see, for the first-time, hydrogen-powered foiling chase boats used in a competitive and challenging environment.”” “Last year (2022), the company revealed it will spend or commit $4bn for the transition to clean energy over the next five years for new investments or modifications to its existing assets, including low and zero carbon hydrogen.” “In July, Watersportverbond introduced an emission-free, hydrogen-powered coach boat which was set to be utilised at the 2023 World Sailing Championships in Holland.” “The rib has a 40kWh Deep Blue Battery (lithium-ion) and an additional 51kWh hydrogen capacity boasting a hydrogen fuel cell as a range extender. The vessel is expected to reach a maximum speed of 45km/h.” https://lnkd.in/exGJrYCV Source- original post Read all my posts #MariusPreston #greenhydrogen #americascup #hydrogenfuelcells #hydrogenpoweredcoachboat #2023WorldSailingChampionships #SailingChampionships #Sailingboat #sailingcompetition #chaseboats #2024AmericasCup #hydrogenfuelcellchaseboat #hydrogeninfrastructure
