„Verzichten Sie auf Dieselkraftstoff, aber nicht auf den Dieselmotor! Mit HVO lassen sich bis zu 90 Prozent der CO2-Emissionen verhindern.“ Dieser - beim ersten Lesen - scheinbare Widerspruch soll im Folgenden aufgelöst werden. Dazu ist ein Exkurs in die Entwicklung nachhaltiger Kraftstoffe notwendig, den die Firma mtu zur Erläuterung ihrer obigen Behauptung anbietet. Was ist HVO?[ds_preview] HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, also "hydriertes" Pflanzenöl) ist ein erneuerbarer Kraftstoff und gehört zur Produktfamilie der C.A.R.E.-Diesel (CO2-Reduzierung, Kältebeständigkeit (Arctic Grade), Erneuerbar (Renewable) und Emissionsreduktion).

Painted grey and for years part of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) of the US Department of Transportation, the "Cape Texas", or in military terms: T-AKR 112, appeared modest and inconspicuous. She had moored in Kaiserhafen III on the Weser, not far from the terminal of the US armed forces in the north of Bremerhaven, which is still well known from the Cold War era. Coming from Charleston (South Carolina), she had delivered a number of military vehicles to Europe, the final destination of which was not specified but should not be difficult to guess in the current situation. The classically cut, elegant and dignified appearance of the...

Russian shortage: ice-capable ships for the North-East Passage

Russian shortage: ice-capable ships for the North-East Passage

Russia must expand its production capacities for icebreakers if it wants to achieve its goals for expanding trade via the Arctic North-East Passage, as Russia lacks ice-class ships. Alternative route Russia has been planning for some time to expand the North-East Passage as an alternative to the Suez Canal and to intensify trade via this northern route as early as next year. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated, most recently in August at the meeting of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), that Russia wants to accelerate the development of the northern route, which would require the construction of new harbours and bunker stations as well as a larger fleet of icebreakers. The approximately 6,500 km long route leads...

The thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (tkMS) shipyard wants to be able to build submarines faster and more efficiently in its new hall.

New technology With its dimensions of 170 by 70 metres and a height of just under 33 metres, the recently handed over hall complex already dominates the cityscape on the eastern shore of Kiel's inner fjord. A major advantage of the huge building is that...

Today, 29 August 2023, the second STS boat for Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 71 in Eckernförde was christened "Holstein" at the TAMSEN MARITIM shipyard in Rostock.

In his speech to business partners, staff and media representatives of the Hanseatic City of Rostock, Managing Director Christian Schmoll primarily thanked his employees, but also the excellent work of the partner shipyard from Tangermünde in Anhalt.
