Get ready⚡️#SolarYacht continues to make progress on its 1st floating #SolarChargingStation (SCS). The floating #SCS is a type of power generation docking & charging station for boats that is designed to operate on inland waterways. The innovative #ChargingHub offers several advantages, including flexibility, scalability, and the potential for #renewable energy generation. Read more about the floating SolarYacht #Charging network: https://lnkd.in/dar8Tcdy In order to reduce emissions in the #maritime sector that are harmful to the #environment and health, we have to avoid #diesel generators by providing future technologies for on-board power supply and the use of shore-side power on the Water. The floating #SCS eliminates the need for on-board diesel generators while the boats are at anchor and will also be available to external boats for charging on one of the most frequent inland #waterways in #Germany. As part of the “BordstromTech” (“Onboard PowerTech”) funding, the Federal #Ministry for Digital and Transport (Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr) and NOW GmbH is providing support to setup an innovative charging infrastructure on the water to reduce emissions in seaports and on inland waterways. The SolarYacht company received funding support of almost €1M. to contribute to the investment in three floating charging plattforms and SolarYacht fleet with #bidirectional solar chargingsystems for the emissionfree power supply of leisure vessels and all-electric boats on inland waterways in #Berlin-Brandenburg. Stay tuned for the world premiere and official #launchevent of the 1st floating #ChargingLounge on the water delivering a premium charging #experience by the SolarYacht brand. #Energiewende #Ladestation #Ladeinfrastruktur #Binnenschifffahrt

A sail buoy on its mission to monitor marine life at Hywind Tampen 🔬 🌊 Our member 🌟 Akvaplan-niva 🌟 is a non-profit research and development institute with expertise in all aquatic environments. They have a special focus on ocean industries and offer science-based tools and services to ensure sustainable value creation. They work interdisciplinary and provide a knowledge base and advice to both environmental management and industry. They have found that use of different gliders (AUVs using wind, solar power, and density regulations for moving and operating the sensors onboard) is a very suitable tool for mapping and monitoring the marine life in the vicinity of offshore windfarms. Not only are the gliders almost CO2 free and very cost efficient, the diving and surface vehicles observe the whole water column for the very surface to the sea floor. Thus, the monitoring can be made without any ships or manpower at the site and operate within the wind farm independent of anchoring chains. -A renewable energy producer, like the offshore wind industry, should have their operations monitored in a low carbon manner. This is what Akvaplan-niva can offer, says Lionel Camus, the head of the Digital solutions department at Akvaplan-niva. Anita Evenset - Guttorm Christensen - Charlotte Teresa Weber

With the innovative droppable oyster structures only a small vessel, such as a crew transfer vessel (CTV), is required to place the constructions, according to Ørsted. Van Oord Delft University of Technology #offshorewind #renewableenergy

“We are very pleased to be chosen again by Fjord Base Gruppen for this shore power system project” says Kenneth Husebø, sales director shore power at Blueday Technology AS Technology. “Fjord Base have already several shore power connection at their operating terminals ensuring contribution towards marine harbour sector electrification, decarbonization, and greenhouse gas reduction initiatives.” #containerhandling #maritime #porttechnology #CharIN #ports #highpowercharging #MCS #charginginfrastructure #chargingsolutions #energy #maritime #carbonreduction #environment #carbonfootprint #emission #future #climatefinance #climatetechnology #carbonfootprint #energytransition #renewableenergy #blueco #aquaculture #landstrøm #shorepower #harbours #OPS #coldironing #ports #blueday #containerterminal #containershipping #environmental #sustainable #smartgrid #smartcities

The use of natural and renewable materials, like fast growing bamboo or pine wood, may result in very nice boats and yachts. These materials can also point to a future for yacht building to embrace the use of renewable materials. Read my article about Roelof van der Werff and Henk Bergsma who experiment with a new way of constructing wooden boats. This month in Professional Boatbuilder magazine. https://lnkd.in/e7sKas6i

With the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection's green light, the terminal will offer safe, eco-friendly alternatives for vessels. Set to commence construction in March 2024, the terminal boasts a capacity of 1000 cubic meters, aiming to conduct up to 416 annual bunkering operations. This initiative aligns with Yara's commitment to decarbonise the maritime sector, supported by partners like Azane and Fjord Base. Stay tuned as Yara paves the way for a cleaner, greener future in maritime transport! 🌍⚓ More information, click #TNCCMembers #Yara

Caledonia is pleased to have collaborated with 11 other ScotWind projects in the East and North-east of Scotland to produce a report examining potential regional ornithological compensation measures that could be deployed at scale and contribute to the increased resilience of Scottish breeding seabird populations. This important study, carried out by Royal HaskoningDHV and Hi-Def Consulting, with input from NiMa Consultants Ltd, highlights the challenge the industry is facing in delivering offshore wind at scale under the current regulations. Caledonia and the other developers involved are pleased that The Scottish Government has launched its Joint Environmental Accelerator Project (JEAP) initiative and are keen to continue the proactive, collaborative work to ensure that our projects deliver real environmental benefit as well as delivering net zero. Significant focus on this issue is essential to delivering Scotland’s 2045 net zero targets and realising the wider benefits of ScotWind. Continued collaboration between all stakeholder groups to devise a practicable and appropriate approach to compensation measures is vital if our net zero, energy security, and local supply chain ambitions are to become reality.    #OffshoreWind #ScotWind
