As our ships traverse the vast expanse of the world’s oceans, they are guided not only by the stars above but also by a complex network of regulatory measures and international agreements. In this maritime exploration, we’ll embark on a journey through the labyrinth of regulations
Ahoy, fellow seafarers and curious minds! As we cast our gaze across the vast expanse of the maritime horizon, a new symphony of innovation echoes through the waves. In this nautical journey, we set sail into the realm of emerging technologies for sustainable shipping—a maritime adventure where wind, hydrogen, and autonomy dance together, promising to […]
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. This article explores the world of antifouling technologies and biofouling
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,
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
Survitec’s Seahaven, the world’s largest inflatable lifeboat, is now ready to be installed on cruise vessels, having received full type approval certification from classification society Lloyd’s Register. A Certificate of Type Approval was presented by Lloyd’s Register Chief Operations Officer Mark Darley to Mark Cotton, Survitec Sales Director,
Survival Technology leader Survitec has launched a new Marine Evacuation System (MES) designed to the meet the emergency evacuation requirements of small to medium size passenger vessels. Targeted at vessels with passenger capacities ranging from 300 to 1,500 persons, such as ferries and expedition cruise ships, the new MES solution will be officially introduced to […]
