Pouring underwater concrete requires specialist knowledge! Nice challenge: Pouring concrete on a 10 percent slope As specialists in civil underwater construction, the people of DISA International dive underwater for the construction, maintenance and repair of large civil infrastructure projects. They are also coming into action for the reinforcement of the Levvel - project Afsluitdijk. “A wonderful project where all the elements of our work come into play,” he says.

Discover how the Arctic Fjord, a 99m trawler, is setting new standards in sustainable fishing. With an innovative design, inspired by offshore vessels and ocean research ships, it’s pushing the limits on trawler design. The Arctic Fjord is not just a vessel, but a comprehensive package delivered by Kongsberg Maritime. Learn how the benefits of integration have resulted in a vessel that’s recognized as a leading example of the next generation of trawler designs. https://lnkd.in/dJSqcSdH

Southerly Designs and Strategic Marine have just been awarded the BAIRD MARINE award for 2023. AWARDS 2023 | BEST W2W CRAFT—GEN-4 TWO—STRATEGIC MARINE & SOUTHERLY DESIGNS The long-standing and very productive collaboration of Western Australia’s renowned naval architects, Southerly Designs and leading Singaporean shipbuilder, Strategic Marine, has created yet another elegant, efficient, safe, fast and comfortable crew-supply boat for the global offshore energy industry. Significantly refined over previous iterations, this 42-metre aluminium boat is also capable of effectively performing firefighting and standby roles. The W2W facility on its aft deck is simply the cream on the cake. “It is the first fast crewboat supporting the oil and gas industry that incorporates a gyro-stabiliser, a motion-compensated gangway, and a hybrid system,” Hans Randklev, General Manager, Commercial at Strategic Marine, told Baird Maritime. “It also features enhancements to the hull design to enable it to be more efficient during transit and incorporates modern interiors with the oil rig crew’s comfort and safety in mind.” Randklev added that, based on the crewboat’s performance to date, it can be seen that it has a wider operating window, a faster turnaround, a higher speed, improved comfort and safety, as well as lower fuel consumption and emissions compared to other fast crewboats of similar size. This results in fewer cancelled trips as well as lower costs and emissions. “The vessel serves as a demonstrator platform and proof of concept for many new systems that have not been a part of the traditional workboat outfit,” added Southerly Designs Managing Director Andrew Taylor. “Among these are active interceptor ride control and trim optimisation and an integrated joystick control positioning and manoeuvring system.” https://lnkd.in/gz6K_gjE

Construction update: Explorer 54 DS The building of the Explorer 54 DS is currently underway. At iYacht GmbH, we are proud to be the designers and engineers behind this exceptional explorer yacht. Insulation and high-quality central heating systems, ensures that the yacht can withstand even the coldest winters in high latitudes – a crucial feature for any explorer yacht. When sailing in warmer climates such as the tropics or the Caribbean, each room of the Explorer 54 DS can be independently air-conditioned, a feature typically found only on superyachts. And that’s more: the air conditioning system operates silently, as no generator is needed. This explorer has a hybrid propulsion system, and can be used in electric drive mode for up to 10 hours. Safety has been a key priority in the design of the Explorer 54 DS. Our engineering team has dedicated countless hours to ensuring that every aspect of the vessel is safe. From reinforced water lines for ice conditions to precision-engineered frost-proof cooling circuits, we have left no stone unturned in guaranteeing the safety of the owners, guests and crew. Moreover, this explorer comes equipped with safety ropes readily available on deck, providing peace of mind to all on board.These safety features are not optional but are instead included as standard. #shipbuilding #marineindustry #vessel #shipyard #yachting #marineengineering

“Even though our ships are designed to be as stable as possible even in heavy seas, and our cargo securing systems are state-of-the-art, input from OCTOPUS means we can always operate within permissible design limits. The decision support provided by OCTOPUS is invaluable to guarantee additional safety of the cargo while enabling efficient weather routing at the same time.” - Daniel Leonhardt, Head of Projects & Hydrodynamic Engineering, UNITED ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS. In the past years we have seen OCTOPUS increasingly gaining traction outside our traditional segments such as (semi submersible) heavy lift into new ones such as project cargo transportation. United Heavy Lift being one of our valuable partners in this segment. #UnitedHeavyLift #F900EcoLifter, #HeavyLiftShipping, #projectcargo #heavylift, #shipsandshipping

FERRIES: Scandlines zero direct emissions #ferry enters final phase of construction Construction of the €80m (US$89m) E/V Futura at the CEMRE SHIPYARD in Turkey has entered its final phase. “We are very much looking forward to putting our first emission-free ferry into operation on the #Puttgarden-#Rødby route. Futura is an investment in the future – for us as a ferry operator in general and, not least, as an important part of meeting our goal of zero-emission operation of the Puttgarden-Route route by 2030,” said Michael Guldmann Petersen, chief operating officer (COO) of #Scandlines.

🌊🚢 Have you ever experienced the thrill of a locked process while cruising along the river? It’s an incredible journey where you witness the fascinating mechanics of navigation firsthand! 🚤✨ 🔒🌊 **Here’s How a Lock Works:** Locks are fascinating engineering structures that allow boats and ships to navigate changes in water levels along rivers and canals. Here’s a simple breakdown of the process: 1. **Entering the Lock:** When a vessel approaches a lock, it signals its intention to enter. The gates of the lock open, allowing the boat to move in. 2. **Securing the Vessel:** Once inside, the gates close behind the boat, creating a sealed chamber. This ensures that water levels can be adjusted safely. 3. **Filling or Emptying the Lock:** Depending on whether the boat is going upstream or downstream, water is either let in or drained out of the lock chamber. - **Going Upstream:** Water is filled into the lock from the higher level, raising the boat. - **Going Downstream:** Water is drained out, lowering the boat. 4. **Opening the Gates:** After the water level matches the level of the waterway on the other side, the lock gates open, and the vessel can continue its journey. 5. **Continuing the Journey:** The boat moves out of the lock, ready to navigate the next stretch of the river! Locks play a crucial role in making waterways navigable, allowing for efficient transport and beautiful scenic journeys. Next time you’re on a river cruise, take a moment to appreciate this brilliant feat of engineering! 🚢💧 Share your locked process stories below!
