#EFFECTIVE Project: Enhancing social well-being & economic prosperity by reinforcing the effectiveness of protection & restoration management in Mediterranean MPAs. The Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute (CMMI) participated at the consortium meeting of EFFECTIVE, organised by Centro Tecnológico Naval y del Mar - CTN on the 27th February at Cartagena, Spain. The consortium meeting was a great opportunity for reviewing all project achievements so far, nine months after the project’s kick-off, & also to plan the next steps. CMMI presented the progress of the pilot study that is leading in Cyprus, in collaboration with the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research - HCMR.

d'Amico Group attended the inaugural CII Conference at the International Maritime Organization headquarters, hosted by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, marking one year since its implementation. d'Amico Group actively participated as a speaker, sharing insights into the owner's experience regarding #CII challenges and opportunities for improvement. Our Technical Director, CESARE D'API', who was also a conference speaker, submitted a paper titled "Discovering CII Behavior" to RINA in support of the presentation. "We provided concrete examples of the rating system's application from various perspectives, including ship size, operational profile, sister vessels, time in port/waiting time, use of biofuels blends, and technical retrofits, engaging with representatives from the IMO and the #maritimeindustry. Urging a transformation that elevates the CII from a 'trade metric' to a comprehensive 'performance metric.' This forward-looking perspective aligns with our #commitment to continuous #improvement and #sustainability within the #maritime #sector. d'Amico Group remains steadfast in its dedication to fostering #innovation, #dialogue, and #progress within the #maritimeindustry. The company's active participation and substantive contributions at the Royal Institute of Naval Architects' CII Conference exemplify our commitment to shaping a #sustainable #future for #maritime #operations."

Here on Grimaldi news: “The concept for the new buildings was developed by the Italian shipping company in collaboration with the Knud E. Hansen naval design and architecture studio. With loading capacity of over 9,000 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) - The Grande Shanghai and her sister ships are part of a major $2.5 billion newbuilding program, involving the delivery of 25 ultra- modern vessels in the period 2023-2027. Once the car carriers have been delivered – this is scheduled between 2025 and 2027 – all ten will be deployed between Europe, North Africa, and the Near and Far East to meet the demand of the global vehicle market.” #shipping

VESSEL REVIEW: Tianjin Port Barge in northern China has expanded its towage and harbour services fleet with the recent acquisition of two new ASD tugs in a series built by compatriot Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyard. 'Jingang Lun 36' and 'Jingang Lun 37' were built to a design developed by Canadian naval architecture firm Robert Allan Ltd (RAL). The two new tugs are the second generation of intelligent tugs built for Tianjin Port as part of the latter’s broader plan to create an intelligent port. The first generation of four tugs with intelligent-ship notation were delivered in 2019 and were also designed by RAL. The development of the tugs is part of a research cooperation between the Chinese and Finnish governments with the objective of improving port and shipping safety in Chinese waters through the introduction of intelligent vessels. During a six-day extensive sea trial, 'Jingang Lun 36' – with 'Jingang Lun 37' serving as the test and evaluation vessel – completed a series of 34 comprehensive, self-control auto navigation tests that included automatic searching, approaching, and accompanying a target vessel at sea. RAL said that this was the first time that a ship handling tug – Jingang Lun 36, in this case – has been equipped with this kind of system and approved by a classification society. Sun Bo, Deputy General Manager of Tianjin Port Barge, meanwhile remarked that the technology allows a tug to navigate autonomously under supervised conditions. Full article link in comments.

In some circumstances the loss of containers causes an environmental impact such as the 2009 case of the Pacific Adventurer in Queensland. In this presentation, Dr Kieran Dodworth (Head of Naval Architecture , Brookes Bell) sets out some of the lessons he has learned from his extensive experience in container losses and sets out weaknesses in the regulatory framework. Dr Dodworth’s focus on lesser known features of container stack behaviour which he considers to be one of the most complex structures in the marine environment. Thank you IMarEST, London for the issuance of my 49th CPD Certificate!

The Ream Naval Base and Funan Techo Canal in Cambodia concern #Hanoi and have implications for Malaysia and Thailand in the Gulf of #Thailand. Overlapping maritime claims, 11 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 500 million barrels of oil, and rich fisheries could make the Gulf of Thailand a future flashpoint. #China could exploit tensions, further complicating #ASEAN cohesion and the Indo-Pacific security architecture.

Did you know that the Golden Horn, the pristine estuary separating the Old City and the old Genoese neighborhood of Galata, was “the reason” why the city of Istanbul is located where it is today? The symbol of abundance since the Byzantine era, the Golden Horn was a perfect natural harbor that made Istanbul (then Constantinople) the most important commercial hub of the Mediterranean and the Near East during the Middle Ages. Today, the naval shipyards are getting ready to be reborn as Tersane Istanbul, a carefully planned contemporary integrated urban development project that will deeply honor the city’s legendary past. #tersaneistanbul #realestateistanbul #lessmoreprojectmarketing Zeki Kemal Oguz LessMore Proje
