It‘s not rocket science? Well, if not, it‘s still very similar. While working in the fields of shipbuilding, ship repair, and offshore metal construction production, the RNDV team regularly is faced with impressive projects that literally can look like they’re from another planet due to their extent, complexity, and need for precision. Our ambassador, professional rally driver Vaidotas Zala, interviewed Redanas Garšva, Head of Construction at RNDV. Redanas Garšva is responsible for the implementation of various projects of shipbuilding, ship repair, and offshore metal construction production. An expert with more than 25 years of professional experience, Redanas shared what has made the RNDV team grow so successfully. In the last two years, the RNDV shipbuilding and ship repair segments have grown by 100%. During the interview, Garšva shared, “In the shipbuilding segment, as in others, the clients mostly value the high work quality as well as meeting the deadlines. Trust in a business partner doesn’t come unexpectedly – it’s the result of work, which over time and with received recommendations, allows us to record such a growth in this business activity.” #RNDV #PoweredByTeamwork #Shipbuilding #Offshore

Sanmar A.Ş. , Robert Allan Ltd. and Svitzer have delivered an innovative tug that will ultimately use electric propulsion with methanol fuels cells. The vessel will be a ‘self-sustained tug with longer endurance and fewer operational constraints than a purely battery-powered vessel’, the firms say. Bearing the name Svitzer Taurus, the new vessel was named at a ceremony at Sanmar’s Altinova Shipyard. It was attended by senior executives from both Svitzer and RAL along with civic dignitaries and the delivery can be considered an important milestone in the development of shiphandling tugs, which is witnessing innovation in both alternative fuels and the design of the vessels themselves. In 2023 Svitzer, then part of A.P. Moller-Maersk, announced the launch of the second phase of its project to design what it called ‘the world’s first methanol hybrid fuel cell tug’, including its collaboration with RAL. The eventual series will feature an electrical propulsion system with methanol fuel cells and batteries delivering a ‘self-sustained tug with longer endurance and fewer operational constraints than a purely battery-powered vessel’. Secondary methanol-fuelled generators will provide back-up power if required without the need for a secondary fuel. Earlier, MAN had reported Sanmar ordering a pair of its 12V175D-MM, 2,040kW-rated IMO Tier III propulsion engines for the 60tbp TRAnsverse tugs. Another Turkish shipyard, UZMAR, is also engaged in constructing two new TRAnsverse tugs for Svitzer Australian operation. Renderings of the vessel indicate the wheelhouse and accommodation positioned towards the raised (what can be considered) forward end with the covered towing winch amidships, allowing shiphandling operations over the stern via a ‘unique’ towing staple developed by Svitzer. The design also incorporates other safety-related features including automated connection of the tow line with the assisted vessel. Read the full story on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/eUD6EfgJ

🌊 Harnessing the Power of Underwater Lift Bags 🌊 Underwater lift bags are revolutionizing the way we approach marine operations.

In our latest Luchtvaart in Transitie Technical Projects Series, we dive into the exciting work happening within the HOT project, led by Fokker Next Gen. This project focuses on developing a liquid hydrogen storage and distribution system for next-generation hydrogen combustion aircraft. 🔧  Jenny van der Pols and Kasper Uithof explain how the team has completed the system design, set up an initial version of a virtual twin and made initial preparations for an iron bird. The next phase? Creation, testing, and validating the virtual twin, the iron bird, and making a digital twin of the iron bird. The digital twin is a digital representation of the iron bird, allowing seamless integration of the physical and digital worlds. This enables real-time data collection and monitoring to improve the storage, distribution and propulsion system. 🔗 Watch the video to learn more about this groundbreaking work: https://lnkd.in/eQ5YnYC3 #NGF #SustainableAviation #Hydrogen Nationaal Groeifonds Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat Ron van Baaren Adriana van der Linden

[SUCCESS🏆STORY] 2024 JEC Composites Innovation Awards winner in the category Maritime Transportation & Shipbuilding: OceanWings (ex-AYRO) and partners Alizés, Jifmar Offshore ,Zéphyr et Borée, Neptune Marine, VPLP Design and ArianeGroup for the OceanWings® project  Baptiste Rossi discusses the company's recent success in this competition. >> https://ow.ly/c9pl50Sr0Fn 📄 OceanWings® is a patented, automated, self-raising and lowering vertical wingsail system that enables newbuild or existing ships to reduce their fuel consumption and resulting carbon footprint by up to 50%. The challenges of our technology include the wing's ability to withstand winds of up to 100 knots, while ensuring the proper functioning of its operations: automatic orientation in relation to the wind, adjustable camber, reefable and furlable. Structure is therefore essential to meet these challenges. At OceanWings, we have chosen to use composite materials to a large extent in the construction of our wingsails, for their high mechanical strength and lightweight. 💡Key benefits: •Up to 50% of fuel savings •Automated and passive system •Dimensioned for harsh sea environmental conditions •Reefable and furlable system •Adapted to new-build and retrofitted ships #JECinnovationawards #composites #oceanwings #marine #shipbuilding
