Massachusetts, said the whales’ unexpected arrival in the Gulf of St. Lawrence showed how vertical line fishing everywhere might eventually have to adjust."As the climate changes, so too will the migration patterns," he said. "My hope is that we can actually broker a mutually sustainable solution to this problem. It is not impossible."(Reuters - Writing by Richard Valdmanis; editing by Deepa Babington
Port of London Launches Fully-electric Survey Vessel
which demonstrates the importance of both technical innovation and practical application.”The emergence and growing importance of remote and autonomous surveying vessels signify a paradigm shift in the hydrographic surveying industry.By providing a safer, more efficient, versatile, and sustainable solution for underwater data collection, these vessels will transform the way the surveyors of the future map and analyze data of the world’s riverbeds and ocean floors as well as paving the way for a more technologically driven and sustainable future in maritime operations
VIDEO Interview: OI ’22 is a ‘Go’ for in-person Event in London
year Fugro will be demonstrating its Blue Essence 12 m uncrewed surface vessel (USV), the first in the industry with an electric remote operated vehicle (eROV) controlled from an onshore remote operations center. USV’s will play an important role in the maritime sector offering a safer, more sustainable solution in support of the energy transition. The dockside will manage operations from multiple all-weather locations and includes demos from the likes of USV manufacturer OceanAlpha; ROV designer Blueye; and the hydrographic survey solutions provider Seafloor Systems.

Deepsea Mining First for Strohm TCP
;For this project, TCP’s lower carbon credentials are in tandem with the overarching strategy to impose minimum impact on the environment. Our technology is proven to reduce the CO2 footprint of pipeline infrastructures by more than 50% and is completely impervious to corrosion making it a sustainable solution with a long lifecycle," said Oliver Kassam, CEO, Strohm. "TCP was first implemented by the oil and gas sector in 2007, and we have enjoyed zero failures to date making it an extremely reliable technology; it is also completely recyclable.”Strohm is currently developing its
GAC EnvironHull Unveils Fuel Savings Calculator
by hull cleaning with GAC EnvironHull’s online fuel savings calculator. A foul-free hull offers the benefits of significantly enhanced fuel efficiency and lower operating costs by reducing resistance in the water. A clean ship sails smoother through the water, gives a greener and more sustainable solution and offers energy savings of up to 10% of fuel. GAC EnvironHull’s online calculator was developed over the past year in response to market calls for a quick, easy-to-use method of comparing savings achieved through different hull-cleaning techniques at a time when owners and operators
