Issue 7

From the environmental impact of cruise liners to a vessel’s engine efficiency, understanding noise and vibration can make a huge difference. In the next issue wake a look at the role of noise and vibration assessment in new builds, refits and troubleshooting.

We also look ahead to 2030 and examine the future of shipping and seaborne trade, explore the Aquarius MRE solar and wind powered ship design and find out if DNV’s revolutionary concept for on-board carbon capture and storage is viable.

As melting ice is expected to open Arctic shipping routes by 2050, we investigate the implications for line jurisdiction, port construction and trade. Moreover, we profile new hull cleaning technologies, and take a look at the expansion of the UK’s ports.

New research suggests that the automatic identification systems on many vessels are completely unprotected, potentially making location and other sensitive information susceptible to hackers or even pirates. We investigate the risks presented by this unseen threat. We also find out how GPS disruptors carried by European trucks are affecting navigational safety on the English Channel.

We profile two new cruise ships – Norwegian Breakaway, the largest ship ever to homeport in New York, and Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas – and take a look at the ambitious plans for the Stad Skipstunnel in Norway, the world’s first tunnel to accommodate ships up to 16,000 tonnes.
