The world’s oceans, teeming with life and mysteries, are also a battleground where maritime industries grapple with an age-old adversary: fouling. As ships and marine structures navigate through the vast blue expanse, they face the relentless growth of marine organisms on their surfaces.
Introduction The world’s oceans, vast and awe-inspiring, are both our playground and our responsibility. As the global community embraces the need for environmental consciousness, the maritime industry is setting sail towards a sustainable future. Key to this voyage is eco-friendly ship design and innovation, a realm where every innovation ripples across the oceans,
Palau International Ship Registry (PISR) is at the forefront of promoting sustainable shipping(Green Shipping) practices and embracing digital innovations. Driven by an unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation, PISR has launched a number of projects and introduced incentives that underscore its role in advancing decarbonisation and efficient
I. Introduction In the vast realm of marine biodiversity, accurately identifying species can be a daunting task. However, thanks to DNA barcoding, a powerful technique that utilises specific genetic markers, the identification of marine species has become faster and more efficient. DNA barcoding involves analysing a short section of DNA from an organism’s genome,
BIO-UV Group is delighted to announce that a BIO-SEA Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) designed for the Unites States Navy (USN) completed Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) at the production facility in France. BIO-UV Group now has approval to ship the system to a USN facility for operational testing. BIO-UV Group is working with The Columbia […]
Introduction In recent years, drones have taken flight and revolutionised various industries, including the realm of marine conservation and monitoring. By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep commitment to environmental preservation, drones offer an invaluable tool for scientists, researchers, and conservationists to monitor, protect, and restore our precious
Our oceans are the lifeblood of our planet – but unfortunately, they’re also at great risk. Climate change-related shifts in temperatures can wreak havoc on local marine populations and lead to their extinction. Moreover, overfishing, oil spills along with plastic waste have all led many aquatic species towards near-extinction or endangerment status. One
The oceans of our planet have captivated human interest for centuries. Yet, despite our fascination, the depths of the ocean remain largely unexplored. However, recent technological advancements in the field of acoustic monitoring have opened up new avenues of research into the underwater world. Acoustic monitoring uses underwater sound to study marine animals, such as
The ocean is a vast and mysterious world that covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface. It is home to countless species of marine life, from tiny plankton to massive whales, and its health and productivity are critical for sustaining life on our planet. Oceanography and ocean physics are essential sciences for understanding the complex […]
All ships have a significant environmental impact during construction, operation, and even when they are scrapped. Fortunately, new technology and modern approaches to building ship components have the potential to make them more sustainable, recyclable, lightweight, and less noisy for marine animals. Floating floor systems are an important innovation with solid potential
