ARCHINAUTE 2019: Eleven years after the launch of the project, the prototype of the first Archinaute wind powered boat is under construction at the Brittany South shipyard in Belz. This is a culmination of years of effort for its designer, Charles-Henri Viel, who was looking to present it from June 29 to July 10 at the La Mer XXL show in Nantes in 2018. The boat is 11 meters long, 6 wide and weighs 10 tonnes, built of aluminum. A wind turbine 6 m in diameter will be placed on the boat.

Unthinkable ten years ago, the project finally came to fruition. The transition from idea to design did not happen overnight. In 2014, the first investigations were carried out

A design project underway in Norway that seeks to develop the first hydrogen ferries operating long distances and exposed to the harsh environment in the northern region has received initial design approval. Lloyd’s Register presented the Approval in Principle which is considered to be a major milestone in the effort by Norwegian shipping company Torghatten Nord to introduce the ferries by 2025.

“We are very satisfied with the approval and we are proud to work together with the leading experts on hydrogen as a fuel on ships. Developing hydrogen ferries on such a long and weather-resistant

Northern Lights, a Norwegian start-up for the transport and storage of CO2, is incorporating auxiliary wind propulsion into the new CO2 transport vessels it has on order in China. A joint venture between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies, Northern Lights is responsible for the transport and storage components of the Longship Project supported by the Norwegian government to decarbonize emissions, including from the industrial area around the country’s capital of Oslo.

Norsepower reports that it has received an order for two of its rotor sail with one to be installed on each of the two vessels being built

As part of the EU-funded TrAM project, Wärtsilä and partners have delivered a zero-emission fully electric fast ferry that operates on a commuter route in Norway.

This ferry not only serves passengers between Stavanger and Hommersåk without releasing emissions to air or sea, it also demonstrates that fully electric passenger fast ferries are a viable concept with great promise.

The TrAM project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon2020 Research and Innovation programme and facilitated by the Norwegian cluster organisation Maritime Clean Tech, aims to create a zero-emission fast ferry concept through advanced modular production.

It is expected that modular manufacturing methods will reduce production costs by 25% and engineering costs by 70%. The first vessel resulting

Propelled by a growing demand for cleaner energy, battery-powered vessels are moving stealthily forwards.

 

As much of the planet battles extreme heat and wildfires, there’s growing scrutiny of the climate-changing emissions generated by our modern carbon-dependent transportation systems. This includes the maritime industries, on which so much of our global prosperity and comfort depend. In a bid to decarbonize the industry, ship owners are exploring a range of fossil fuel alternatives, from cleaner-burning fuels to new forms of wind power. Battery-powered propulsion systems are also gaining in popularity.  

Just last month the energy storage system supplier Corvus Energy celebrated when Havila Kystruten`s passenger ship, Havila Castor, sailed the scenic Geiranger fjord in northern Norway
