ASNE Advanced Naval Propulsion Symposium 2008

The ASNE Advanced Naval Propulsion Symposium is an event organized by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE). This symposium focuses on advancements and innovations in naval propulsion systems. As of the 2008 symposium, it served as a platform for experts, engineers, industry professionals, and academicians to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and future directions in naval propulsion technology.

Key areas typically covered in such symposiums include:

Technological Advancements: Presentations and discussions on the latest propulsion technologies, including nuclear, diesel, gas turbine, and electric propulsion systems.

Energy Efficiency: Exploration of methods and technologies aimed at improving the energy efficiency of naval vessels.

Sustainability: Focus on environmentally friendly propulsion solutions, including the reduction of emissions and adoption of green technologies.

Integration and Systems Engineering: Insights into the integration of propulsion systems with other shipboard systems to enhance overall performance and operational capabilities.

Operation and Maintenance: Updates on best practices for the operation and maintenance of advanced propulsion systems to ensure reliability and longevity.

Future Trends: Projections and research on emerging technologies and future trends in naval propulsion.

At the 2008 symposium, industry leaders, representatives from naval services, defense contractors, and researchers likely contributed to these discussions. Such events typically also feature exhibitions where companies can showcase their latest technologies and products in naval propulsion.

These symposiums offer valuable networking opportunities, fostering collaborations that can drive forward innovation and the implementation of new technologies in naval propulsion.

Ferry Sinks off Bali, Killing Four as 30 Go Missing

yesterday

Four people died, 30 were missing and 31 survived after a ferry carrying 65 people sank near the Indonesian island of Bali, the country's Search and Rescue agency said on Thursday, as rescuers raced to find victims in the rough sea.The KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya sank almost half an hour after leaving East Java province's Banyuwangi port on its way to Bali late on Wednesday, the agency said on Thursday.The boat was carrying 53 passengers and 12 crew members, as well as 22 vehicles, the agency said.A search for the missing is underway although it is being hampered by strong currents and winds, the agency said, adding it had deployed a helicopter to the location and 13 underwater rescuers.

KIMM Cracks the Code for Underwater Radiated Noise Prediction

A towing incident has occurred on Saudi oil and gas drilling contractor ADES Holding’s jack-up barge Admarine 12, which capsized offshore Eqypt, killing four people, while three remain missing.The incident occurred on Tuesday, July 1, while the barge was being towed to a new location in Egyptian territorial waters.At the time of the incident, 30 personnel were on board, involving 18 from ADES personnel.According to the latest information, 23 have been safely rescued, while remain missing and subject to intensive ongoing search operations by the relevant authorities.

BHP Signs Charter Contracts with COSCO for Two Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessels

2 days ago

Australia’s BHP Group has signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk, a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping, for the charter of two ammonia dual-fueled Newcastlemax bulk carriers.The new vessels to be built under the arrangement will be two of only a handful of vessels in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel.The two vessels, expected to be delivered from 2028, will primarily transport iron ore from Western Australia to Northeast Asia.When run on lower or low to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ammonia, these vessels will be capable of reducing GHG emissions by at least 50% and up to 95% on a per voyage basis compared to a conventionally fueled voyage, according to BHP.

ESG Wins Bid to Build Washington State Hybrid Electric Ferries

2 days ago

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
