The system, which was developed by Netherlands-based Econowind, offers the advantage that it can be folded away and also is moveable to permit the vessel’s normal container operations. The system will be employed aboard the Kalamazoo, a 12,600 dwt containership built in 2013 and owned by Norse Shipholding and managed from Singapore. The vessel is operating for ONE on a feeder route currently sailing between China and Korea. The ship is 469 feet long with a carrying capacity of 1,036 TEU. Before the end of 2023, the Kalamazoo will be fitted with two containerized units which are the same size as a standard 40-foot container. The advantage is that it is a fully autonomous unit that contains all the equipment, including hydraulics, automation, and ventilation integrated into the containerized unit. The only support needed from the vessel is a power connection. Being in a container it is also fully moveable. The wind system is fully containerized for easy operation and moveable so as not to block cargo operations (Econowind) Econowind developed the containerized solution as an alternative for retrofitting its VentoFoil, a wing-shaped rigid sail, to in-service vessels. According to the company, the design incorporates a smart suction system that controls the airflow around the wing-shaped element. The foil measures approximately 34 feet by 9 feet and will be able to generate thrust to save up to 400 kW of engine power. In unfavorable conditions, the foil units can be stored in the container. Takashi Kase, Senior Vice President of ONE said the first wind assist system utilization will be a milestone for the company in its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. ONE plan on testing different technologies as part of its optimization project. After conducting land tests, Econowind ran its first full-size tests on the unit in November 2018 aboard a general cargo ship the Lady Christina (5,375 dwt) in the North Sea and Baltic. During that test, the ship’s operator reported a fuel savings of approximately 10 percent per day in keeping with Econowind’s projections of a 7 to 11 percent savings. Tests were performed on the containerized units in 2018 aboard a general cargo ship in the Baltic and North Sea (Wijnne Barends) “We are delighted to add ONE to our customer base as the first Asian partner,” said Frank Nieuwenhuis, CEO of Econowind. “The more installations we can retrofit, the more data we can attain and learn from. This provides us with solid proof of how wind-assisted ship propulsion is reducing emissions per nautical mile and with vessels improving their EEXI / EEDI.” In addition to the containerized units, Econowind is also developed larger, fixed Ventofoils that can be employed to newbuilds or retrofitted to existing ships. Using the same principles of aerodynamics, the fixed versions are not limited by the size of the container offering the potential for greater power. They can be built to fold down during bad weather or to increase clearances for the vessel during maneuvering or in port for cargo operations. The fixed units also rotate around their axis.

This amounts to about three percent of total U.S. offshore crude production. Six producers use the Main Pass Oil Gathering Co. (MPOG) line, a 67-mile pipeline extending east from the Mississippi Delta. The Coast Guard identified the affected producers as W&T Energy VI, Occidental... Continue Reading... Government PHOTOS: NAVY MAKES PROGRESS ON RECOVERING P-8 AIRCRAFT FROM KANEOHE BAY Published Nov 23, 2023 10:32 PM by The Maritime Executive The U.S. Navy is making progress on retrieving the wreck of a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft that ran off the end of a runway at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii on Monday. A Navy structural engineer has arrived from the mainland to determine the aircraft's integrity. The P-8 appears to be structurally intact, and there have no been apparent fuel leaks. Booms have been deployed around it as a precautionary measure, along with sorbent material. A skimmer is also on hand... Continue Reading...

A Carnival UK spokesperson responded to media inquiries in the UK denying that the company was seeking to reduce manning levels saying it is instead part of a regular realignment of its employment agreements. Under UK labor law, a... Continue Reading... Government OP-ED: UNMANNED NAVAL VESSELS WILL TAKE LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT Published Nov 23, 2023 6:26 PM by CIMSEC [By James J. Wirtz] Will unmanned forces transform naval campaigning? Given recent events following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, maritime transformation appears to be well underway. Autonomous and semi-autonomous aircraft and surface vessels have damaged or destroyed Russian surface combatants, air defense systems, and supply depots. Land warfare also has seen its share of innovative applications of autonomous and semi-autonomous technology, from swarming drone attacks against urban areas to single hand grenades precisely dropped on lone soldiers in slit trenches...
