Plastic Pollution Threatens Birds Far Out at Sea
risk for petrels, potentially affecting all four of the species studied that forage there.But many other petrel species are at risk of encountering plastic in remote parts of the ocean, including the north-west and north-east Pacific, south Atlantic and south-west Indian Ocean. This is mainly due to large systems of circulating ocean currents, called mid-ocean gyres, which transport plastic debris thousands of miles from its source – such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.In fact, one-quarter of petrels’ plastic exposure risk occurred in the high seas. These areas are not within any country&rsquo
Armach Robotics Set to Take the Pole Position on Ship Hull Maintenance, Intelligence
robotic system? What is it designed to do that others cannot?It's all about navigation, because if you don't have navigation, you don't have anything. The lack of navigation (in current solutions) result in undo wear-and-tear on coatings, because its overworking the coating, using very large systems or cleaning reactively, not proactively. With an accurate navigation solution, we can enable a small, efficient robot that's going to cover 100% of the hull. It can a fully autonomous, so we get the diver out of the water.And if you have an accurate navigation solution, you also have
MUM's the Word: New UUV Takes Shape in Germany
old conventions: The modular, unmanned underwater vehicle performs its tasks largely autonomously, with an innovative modular design enabling the new vehicle class to be customized cost-efficiently for each mission. Individual base modules can be freely combined with specific mission modules to form large systems, enabling even unusual and highly specialized tasks to be performed quickly and easily. “The kind of modularity we are envisioning is a challenge for complex systems, especially due to the physics of the underwater space. We are talking about vehicles that will change in configuration and

Individual base modules can be freely combined with specific mission modules to form large systems, enabling even unusual and highly specialized tasks to be performed quickly and easily. Possible activities range from payload transportation and operations to research missions and stationary deep-sea tasks, able to tackle jobs on the industrial and scientifi fronts. A

the West Coast, which formally was part of the Rockwell Corporation’s Research Center, staffed with a number of PhDs that are conducting applied research, providing science-based solutions to a wide variety of our products. • Teledyne Brown Engineering, which is a large systems engineering and program management business, which, for example, manage a big Navy program. “Teledyne Brown Engineering provides a great internal partner for some of those bigger programs.” • Teledyne Dalsa in Canada, with an expertise in MEMS. “It is
Ecosse Subsea Systems Prepares to Shake Up Pipelay Sector
both the traditional oil and gas sector and the emerging renewables market. Traditionally rigid pipelay projects rely on very expensive pipelay systems which are embedded into dedicated and sophisticated vessels which command hefty hire rates in the region of £250k plus per day. These large systems require extensive deck strengthening on the vessel and the systems usually take a minimum of 14 days to install, more normally the major components have to be designed into the vessel from the outset. Ecosse Subsea’s PREP (Plastic Reeled Elastic Pipelay) system is a modular system used
