Chance Maritime Technologies’ Post

#lisw23 :: day 3 ...and a brilliant exchange on decarbonisation and the realistic prospect of meeting the target of 2030 and 2050. The context is a the maritime sector being a self regulated global industry having to navigate national target and goals... Decarbonisation present transformative or existential challenges for the fleet? strong views from the panelists.

The Icon of the Seas and the Utopia of the Seas will sail soon for Royal Caribbean International and are the largest cruise ships in the world. Besides the size these beautiful cruise ships have a lot of new technology and decarbonisation is key! New technology and different fuels require different competecies. This week Simwave trained another group of crew members on LNG. The 5 day bespoke training is an add on the IGF Code basic and advance. #lng #simwave #rci #maritime #training #centreofexcellence #wearecruise

Great to hear Gert-Jan Panken discussing our decarbonisation toolkit at the Connected Futures conference, jointly published with Inmarsat back in June. The toolkit invites ship owners to look at their decarbonisation strategy through three pillars; the vessel, the operation, and the human element. All three are critical and need to work alongside each other to enable a sustainable transition. I’ll pop a link in the comments for anyone interested in taking a look at the framework. #maritime #lisw23

Yes, Jason Folsom is likely to talk a lot if he is asked a question about offshore wind. But in my experience, his words and views are grounded in realism, so worth the time required 😉. Michael Drunsic made equally valuable contributions, just a bit quicker... and the double act made for a great session. My big takeaway was the section on the timeline for commercial floating wind delivery. More specifically, which US State will lead delivery - and where will the Supply Chain be needed first. California is on everyone's radar, but what about Maine? The potential for floating projects is substantial, resources & experience are nearby in the NE States, there is direct US supply chain access (from GoM), shallower water and proximity to large power demand. So can Maine be first? California will likely dominate eventually due to market size, but I thought it was an interesting point to make when the West Coast has received so much of (all) the Floating Wind attention to date. #floatingwind #offshorewind

As part of the EU-funded SAFeCRAFT project, we are contributing to accelerate the transition to sustainable, climate-neutral alternative fuels (SAFs), aligning with the FuelEU Maritime 2040 targets 🚢 SAFeCRAFT will develop and demonstrate the safety and viability of SAFs in waterborne transport. We will implement an H2 GenSet onboard a capesize bulk carrier and examine SAFs for both retrofit and new building designs, reaching a Technology Readiness Level 7-8. In addition to identifying the most viable innovative solutions and ensure regulatory compliance, we will lead the definition of the desktop studies for both new builds (containership & tanker) and retrofits (containership, tanker, RoPax, cruise vessel). We will assess four alternative fuels: NH3, LH2, CGH2, and LOHC across three innovative powertrain combinations. This results in a total of 48 different cases! #GrowWithRINA

Recap of day three of the #BWSC23 🎥

How do you keep a #tokamak running? SPARC is more than just a tokamak, it's a full facility that makes #fusionenergy happen by supporting and learning from the tokamak plasma. At Commonwealth Fusion Systems, we're building the SPARC facility as a key next step to a fusion power plant, and we're learning about the best ways to construct and commission a fusion energy facility along the way. Take a look at the SPARC facility under construction! #lightthesparc #fusion #cleanenergy
