           <title>Which battery for your ship?</title>
           <description>There are many solutions being explored to transition towards a (net) zero emission maritime industry. One solution that is increasingly becoming more popular are batteries, with already more than 1000 battery powered ships globally. Batteries can be used for different applications on board ships, resulting in varying requirements for the batteries. Different lithium-ion chemistries and different battery system designs make it possible to find a suitable battery for different types of ships, using the batteries for various applications. But how do you know which is the right battery for your ship?Always start with defining the operational profile for the batteries. Describe the different type of operations you want to perform with the vessel, and how the batteries will be used. Estimate the required power and duration for each operation to calculate the required energy from the batteries. If applicable, define multiple operational profiles, for example for normal, light, heavy, emergency, or secondary operations. More details in the operational profile will lead to a more accurate set of requirements for the battery system design.There are 4 main requirements that you want to get from the operational profile. The minimum required energy that you will need to fulfil the operational profile as desired. This is considered as the available energy from your batteries at the end of life. The maximum required discharge power used to power your ship, as well as the maximum required charge power. Finally, the number of cycles that will be performed needs to be defined. There can be many different types of cycles, varying in size and duration. For an accurate lifetime calculation, the cycles need to be described clearly. Depending on your type of application it can be needed to describe the number of cycles per day, per week, or per year.Next step is to determine the right sizing strategy. This is to make a first calculation of the costs, weight, volume, and expected lifetime of the batteries. Depending on the number and size of the cycles that will be perform it can be calculated for different battery types what the total installed capacity should be to reach the required lifetime of the batteries. Based on this total installed capacity the costs, weight and volume can be determined. Make sure that the battery system can handle the maximum charge and discharge power from the operational profile. Based on the results of this step, select the battery systems that fit your ship’s requirements the best based on costs, weight, volume, and expected lifetime.The final step is to find the right fit, by looking at all the additional requirements and specification for the selected battery systems. Define the required safety systems to be installed in the battery space, such as firefighting systems, ventilation systems and gas detection. Make sure that the electrical specifications of the batteries match those of the other equipment on board. Make sure the voltage window, maximum charge and discharge currents, and other specifications are aligned. Compare the requirements for thermal management of the battery system. Some batteries require to be liquid cooled; others are air cooled. Onboard some ships it is also needed to warm up the batteries instead of cooling them. Make sure that the battery system installation is possible on board, considering the size and location of the battery space. Always remember that all batteries are different, and each one of them fits with different types of applications. There is no such thing as the best battery system for all ships. With the speed of innovation that is happening on maritime battery technology, the industry is currently evolving. This can make the process of finding the right battery for your ship complex, but the Maritime Battery Forum strives to assist everyone by sharing knowledge and information.Would you like to learn more about maritime battery technology and different sizing strategies for batteries used in various applications?Then the Maritime Batteries 101, an introduction course to maritime battery technology could be interesting for you.

           <title>Learn how the Marine Stewardship Council safeguards seafood supplies for the future</title>
           <description>What is the MSC programThe MSC program is a market-led program that rewards and recognises sustainable seafood production throughout the supply chain. It is run by the Marine Stewardship Council, an international non-profit organisation working with scientists and the seafood industry to set a globally recognised benchmark for sustainable fishing. The certification and labelling program meets best practice guidelines set by the United Nations Food &amp; Agriculture Organization.The system has been independently evaluated against ISEAL’s Codes of Good Practice - a globally-recognised framework for effective, credible sustainability systems. Importantly, the MSC certification was recognised at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP-15) as a way to scientifically measure efforts to reverse alarming declines in the world’s biodiversity.The program is based on two main Standards:The MSC Fisheries Standard is used to assess if a fishery is well-managed and sustainable according to 3 main Principles: sustainable fish stocks, minimising the environmental impact and effective management.The MSC Chain of Custody Standard ensures that products coming from a certified fishery and carrying the MSC label, are traceable and separated from non-certified products.To become certified, fisheries and supply chain businesses are assessed by independent certification bodies.The benefits of the MSC certification:-For the fisheries: The MSC Fisheries certification demonstrates that the fishery operates according to the highest Standards of sustainable fishing. It can therefore ensure access to new markets, secure a competitive advantage and benefit from the growing demand for sustainable fish. And even more importantly, it ensures the health of fish populations, contributing to the long-term survival of an essential sector where there is so little generational turnover.-For the seafood industry: Global demand for sustainable seafood is growing and 72% of seafood consumers agree that in order to save the oceans, shoppers should only consume seafood from sustainable sources The MSC blue label ensures that the fish you offer comes from a sustainable well-managed source.-For the Planet: More than one-third of the world’s fish stocks are currently being depleted beyond their sustainable limits because we have long treated the ocean as a pit of limitless resources. Overfishing can disrupt the natural balance of the oceans by eliminating essential predator or prey species; this disruption can trigger cascading effects throughout the ecosystem, affecting marine life and potentially creating imbalances within the food web. At the same time, effects of climate change and the unprecedented pressure on the world&#039;s food production systems, with the global population set to reach more than 8 billion people by 2030, could lead to even worst scenarios.The sustainable management of fish stocks can have many positive consequences, starting with the protection of fish stocks, other marine life and the delicate balance of the ocean ecosystem. A recent research also demonstrated that it could ensure 16 million more fish are caught each year and thus provide more of the nutrition needed to feed a growing population.</description>

           <title>From Past to Present: Examining the Impact of Oil Spills from Tankers</title>
           <description>Oil spills from tankers, occurring between 1970 and 2022, have been a significant concern due to their detrimental effects on society, economy, and the environment.These incidents involve the unintentional release of crude oil or refined petroleum products from various sources, including tankers, offshore platforms, wells, and rigs. While predominantly affecting marine ecosystems, they can also impact land environments. The consequences of oil spills are far-reaching, causing extensive damage to local ecosystems and incurring substantial expenses for oil loss and cleanup operations.Fortunately, there has been a noticeable decline in both the frequency and volume of oil spills from tankers in recent years. This positive trend can be attributed to improved safety measures and stricter regulations imposed on container ships engaged in oil transportation. To explore comprehensive and reliable data on oil spills, particularly those originating from tankers, this webpage offers a wealth of information, including data sets, visual representations, and informative articles.However, it is important to note that not all oil spills originate from tankers alone. Other sources, such as offshore oil rigs and damaged pipelines, can also contribute to these incidents. One such notable event is the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Resulting from an explosion on a drilling rig, this incident led to the release of an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil (equivalent to around 700,000 tonnes), making it one of the largest and most widely recognized oil spills in history.While tracking and documenting non-tanker oil spills are crucial, there is currently a lack of comprehensive and up-to-date global databases that encompass such incidents. Bridging this gap would play a critical role in enhancing global environmental data and monitoring systems, thereby enabling effective measures to prevent and mitigate the impact of oil spills worldwide.</description>

           <title>Introducing OutSail Shipping - Wingsails to reduce cargo ship fuel consumption</title>
           <description>Sails powered ships for millennia; but then the convenience of energy-dense fuels displaced sails. As ship speeds eventually exceeded wind speeds, the consensus became that sails had no place in shipping and were relegated to hobbyists and sport. Fast forward a century and a half, and maritime shipping, like all other industries, is facing a reckoning to mitigate the greenhouse gasses produced by their activities.The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced new regulations which use a vessel’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) to grade ships. This grading scale becomes more aggressive over time, and any ship with a poor grade must take corrective action. The corrective actions can be as non-invasive as reducing speed (aka: slow steaming) or as extreme as a retrofit to use a different, cleaner fuel source. This costs millions and takes a ship out of commission for months, and it’s difficult to ensure your (now more expensive) fuel is available at every port of call. Ship owners are hedging their bets that slow steaming will dominate their future, with ship order books full to reflect the increased capacity needed when containers take 20% longer to cross the ocean.Or option three. There is sufficient wind on the ocean to power the entire shipping industry, if you’re willing to grab it. Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) devices can be used as a corrective action to improve a vessel’s CII rating, without reducing ship speed or changing the route. In other words, a return of sails.OutSail team are hardware engineers with over two decades of experience between us, working at Tesla, SpaceX, JPL, Relativity, and some startups. The idea for OutSail came from Arpan and Joseph getting coffee after work one day. When we asked each other “What would you do if you weren’t building satellites?” maritime cargo came up from both sides; Arpan from having studied the industry for opportunities to reduce emissions, and Joseph from a love of hydrodynamics and maybe too many sea-shanties. Bailey and Arpan, meanwhile, had been looking at working on bicycling infrastructure. What brought the three of us together was actually a Dungeons &amp; Dragons game where we realized we made a good team! We settled on OutSail as a good fit for our hardware hacking mentality, trading in our druids staffs for spanners.Aerodynamically, sails are simply vertical wings. Wind blowing across the vessel causes the sail to generate lift and drag, and the resultant vector has some forward component to pull the ship through the water. However, if the wind comes from an angle too close to the direction of travel, there is no thrust. As an added complication, the sail only sees the relative wind. If the ship travels faster, the wind will appear to come from closer and closer to the direction of travel, even if the true wind is coming from perpendicular to your course! Despite this, standard sails can still produce forward thrust as long as the wind is at least 20 degrees off from directly in front of the vessel. This is how our sails can still save power, even on a fast moving vessel.Watch YouTube introduction for more info:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUpVqzpym54There are many sail technologies out there. A common question we get asked is “Are you going to use flettner rotors/suction airfoils?”. Both of these technologies use power supplied by the ship to increase the lift produced by a surface; rotor-sails spin, and suction airfoils…suck? Each of these have a place, especially at low vessel speeds. But our customers ask us for a solution that works for container ships cruising at the relatively high speed of 22kt. At these speeds, the relative wind is almost always ahead of you, so lift/drag becomes more important. Powered sails suffer from poor lift/drag, both from the high induced drag from very high lift coefficients, and system losses from drawing on ship’s power. So no we are not going with flettner rotors/suction airfoils. While they are the new exciting technology on the block, if you factor in their power usage and high drag ratio, they are just not as practical as a simple sail.So now that we’ve given a general summary of sailing, it’s time to explain how a 747 wing will ever fit inside a 9ft tall cargo container. It’s simple really: imagine a tape measure. In a tape measure a thin, flexible strip of metal is wound into a spiral. Then, when the metal is uncoiled, it naturally returns to its original shape. That’s exactly how we plan to make our sails. The skin of our sail or the inner spars (we haven’t finalized our design) will be made of tape measure like material (2mm thick steel) and the wing will be able to extend out of the cargo container.By fitting our sail into a cargo container we allow for our device to be installed on any cargo ship right at port. Remember how we mentioned that some shippers are ordering a lot more ships and some ships are getting retrofitted with new fuel? Well, shipyards are backed up for the next 5 years. By making a device that requires no shipyard to install, not only will we drastically outcompete other retrofit WASP companies in terms of deployment cost, but we will be the only company with a product shippers can put on their ship without a multiple year wait time.Visit OutSailShipping.com website to learn more! </description>

This hierarchical structure helps to maintain order and ensure the smooth operation of the ship. In this post, we&#039;ll take a look at the different maritime ranks and the responsibilities they entail. For furthe info check out the STCW International Convention.Master or Captain The captain, also known as the master, is the highest authority on board the ship. They are responsible for the overall operation of the vessel and the safety of the crew and passengers. The captain makes all major decisions, from navigating the ship to handling emergencies.Chief Officer or First Mate The first mate, also known as the chief officer, is the second-in-command on the ship. They assist the captain with navigation and oversee the day-to-day operation of the ship. The first mate is also responsible for supervising the deck department and ensuring that all deck-related tasks are carried out efficiently.Second Officer or Second Mate The second mate, also known as the second officer, is responsible for navigation and maintaining the ship&#039;s charts and nautical publications. They also assist the first mate with supervising the deck department.Third Officer or Third Mate The third mate, also known as the third officer, is responsible for maintaining the ship&#039;s safety equipment, such as lifeboats and firefighting equipment. They also assist the first and second mates with navigation and deck-related tasks.Deck Cadet Deck cadets are trainees who are learning about the operations and responsibilities of a ship. They work under the supervision of the senior officers and are given a variety of tasks to perform, including navigation and deck maintenance.Engine Officer Ranks There are several engine officer ranks, including the chief engineer, second engineer, and third engineer. These officers are responsible for the ship&#039;s propulsion system, electrical generation and distribution, and refrigeration and air conditioning.Ratings Ratings are the non-commissioned crew members who perform the manual tasks on the ship. This includes tasks such as painting, cleaning, and assisting with the loading and unloading of cargo. There are several different ratings, including able seaman, oiler, and wiper.In conclusion, the different maritime ranks play a crucial role in the smooth operation of a ship. Each rank has specific responsibilities, and the hierarchy helps to ensure that tasks are performed efficiently and effectively.
