As an industry, it is essential for us to express openness and readiness for change, while acknowledging its importance and inevitability! By welcoming change, we will be able to set forward the motion of industrial modernity and take steady steps towards success! #Lubeco #LubecoGreenFluids #rustremover #metalworkingfluids #industrialfluids #lubricant #industriallubricant

HyEkoTank consortium, consisting of SHELL TRADING INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, FKAB Marine Design, TECO 2030, BLOM Maritime, and Tarbit Shipping AB, recently embarked on a pivotal journey. The team paid a visit to the M/T BITFLOWER at Falkvarv AB - the Swedish shipyard nestled in Falkenberg, Sweden. The purpose of this visit was crucial as it involved an in-depth inspection and comprehensive 3D-scanning to finalize the vessel's deck design. We understand the significance of precision in engineering, and that's why the team left no stone unturned in capturing all the necessary measurements. This step is pivotal to ensure a seamless integration of innovative technology into marine operations. Furthermore, the visit played an important role in conducting essential risk and safety assessments. At HyEkoTank, safety is paramount, and we are dedicated to adhering to the highest industry standards to safeguard our operations and the environment. As we move forward, we are committed to embracing sustainable solutions that foster environmental stewardship. The use of fuel cells for marine applications holds immense promise for reducing emissions and creating a greener future for the shipping industry. To bring this vision to life, we proudly present a 3D-scan of the vessel featuring a mock-up fuel cell container on deck, courtesy of BLOM Maritime. Witnessing our ideas take shape fuels our passion for sustainable innovation.

From setting the benchmark that set the standard for offshore supply vessels in the 1970s, to advanced anchor handlers that transformed the oil and gas industry, and a growing reference list in fishery and merchant ships, Kongsberg Maritime’s range of ship designs has continued to evolve over the past five decades. Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/ePzfTZkr Lisa Edvardsen Haugan, President KONGSBERG Maritime, said: “Over the past 50 years, our design teams have created an extensive portfolio of innovative ships for all market segments. As we reach our fiftieth year, we’re delighted to report that we will also soon be delivering our 1,000th ship design." “In the same way as the very first UT 704 platform supply vessel ventured out into the North Sea back in 1974 as a pioneer of its time, our latest state-of-the art windfarm service operation vessels (CSOV) - a fleet of six ‘Skywalker Class’ UT5519 DE for Integrated Wind Solutions ASA - will again be pioneering operations in the energy markets offshore”.

A promising solution for decarbonizing the maritime shipping industry!

Learning to work better together and collaborate is vital to ensure that existing and essential industries such as fishing, or even telecoms cables that have been in place for decades, can work in harmony rather than in opposition to new developments such as offshore wind. A joint research project between NYSERDA, NREL, RODA and OceanIQ was published earlier this year addressing ways to minimise the impacts on existing fishing communities utilising engineering practices to reduce risks for both parties: https://hubs.ly/Q020N-220 In the New York Bight research area alone, 1,222km of subsea cable was identified, which is only going to increase as the offshore wind projects there are leased and developed over the coming few years

🚀 News Update 🚀 BRITOIL PIONEERS THE USE OF ATERNATIVE FUEL WITH 100% HVO FUEL TEST IMO’s strategy to achieve net-zero GHG emissions within 2050 is a key commitment to leading the Shipping industry towards a more sustainable future. Britoil, in partnership with their long-lasting client ENI, the Classification Society RINA, the engines’ maker Nigata, Caterpillar and Luxembourg Flag Administration, performed a revolutionary test onboard their 2014-built DP2 AHTS “BOS Champagne” which will hopefully drive the change towards a quicker transition to sustainable fuels in the Offshore Support Vessels industry. On the 21 March 2024, for the first time ever, 100% (HVO Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) was burnt onboard an OSV during a whole-day simulation performed offshore Ravenna (Italy) by the BOS Champagne. Strictly following procedures and risk-assessments jointly coordinated and agreed among all parties involved (i.e. Owners, Class, Flag Administration, Engine Maker, Client), the vessel operated in different conditions and in different modes, i.e. loading in port, sailing to the offshore field at economic speed, simulating a 500-meters zone platform-approach in Dynamic Position to conclude with a full speed transit back to Ravenna port where, upon arrival, change over procedures from HVO to MGO were tested. The test demonstrated the viability of HVO as an efficient, sustainable and immediately-available alternative to marine gasoil. The operational performance of the vessel, after a full day burning 100% HVO, did not lead to any deviation from the norm. This amazing test came as a result of weeks of hard work and coordination meetings, proving once again the second-to-none technical abilities of Britoil’s Ship Management Team lead. We trust this is only the starting point of a quicker transition to sustainable fuels and we look forward to further cooperate with clients, suppliers, classification societies and other stakeholders to reducing the carbon impact of our industry.
