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.

Autonomous Ships Must Have Search and Rescue Capabilities

yesterday

The 110th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 110) was held from June 18 to 27, with significant progress on a new non-mandatory code of safety for autonomous ships (MASS Code).The code addresses the emerging need for a regulatory framework to ensure the safe, secure and environmentally sound operation of autonomous and remote-controlled key functions.DNV reports that MSC 110 made significant progress, finalizing 18 chapters in the MASS Code, leaving mainly the chapter on the human element to be finalized.A key decision made was that unmanned MASS should be capable of assisting persons in distress.

Container Shipping Rates Plunge in Step with U.S. Demand for China Goods

3 days ago

Rates for shipping cargo containers from China to the U.S. have dropped by more than half since earlier this month, as imports rebounded less than expected after the slump that followed President Donald Trump slapping 145% tariffs on China.Trump quickly reversed course by lowering the rate to 30%. That cost increase on goods from the nation's No. 1 ocean trading partner remains significant, especially at a time when U.S. economic data is signaling weakness.Rates on the closely watched Shanghai-to-U.S.
