World's first hydrogen-powered push boat christened in Berlin by Franziska Giffey The world's first hydrogen-powered push boat, the "Elektra", was christened in Berlin. It took shipbuilder Hermann Barthel and his partners two years to develop this vessel. The ship is designed to make optimum use of the energy on board. In addition to the propulsion system, the hydrogen drive system provides heating for the cabins and wheelhouse. The waste heat from the fuel cells is utilised by continuous water cooling and the cabins are heated by a heat pump. With 750 kilograms of highly compressed hydrogen on board and a battery capacity of around 2,500 kilowatt hours, the push boat has...

The takeover is rumoured to be imminent According to the NDR on Friday, the naval arsenal is to be expanded with a site in Rostock. According to information from cbmaritim.46181.onlineshophosting.de, the decision is to be made by the Federal Minister of Defence this month. On 15 or 16 June, the experts in the Ministry will present the results of their analysis to the holder of command and control. If the Minister's decision is favourable, a further site would be available for arsenal operations. However, the repair facility for naval vessels - traditionally known as the naval arsenal for short - is not part of the Navy's organisational area, as the name suggests, but...

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the launch of the latest Chinese aircraft carrier is being prepared.

Satellite images from 31 May show that the dry dock at the Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai, where the ship is being built, has been cleared of smaller vessels and shipyard equipment. The Wall Street Journal quotes an analyst from the Center for Strategic and International Studies who believes that the ship could be launched for the Dragon Boat Festival, a national Chinese holiday (3 to 5 June 2022). However, there were already relevant reports in autumn 2021 about...

90 metre ship Zhu Hai Yun: Launch of an autonomous robot carrier in China

90 metre ship Zhu Hai Yun: Launch of an autonomous robot carrier in China

The ship actually looks more like an oligarch yacht with a somewhat unconventional East Asian design: in mid-May, the South China Morning Post reported eloquently on the launch of an almost 90 metre long ship named "Zhu Hai Yun" at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong shipyard in Guangzhou in the hinterland of Hong Kong. However, it is not the spectacular design - it is the technical equipment and the equipment payload that make people sit up and take notice. As an autonomous platform with a large number of unmanned sensor carriers, the ship is intended to create a 3D image of a 100-kilometre disc of the sea surface, 4 kilometres upwards and...

DB Schenker is planning an electrically powered autonomous coastal container feeder in Norway. Two-way data communication solution between ship and coastal control centre will revolutionise the sea freight sector. Plans to operate a zero-emission coastal container feeder vessel between Ikornnes Quay and the port of Ålesund in Norway were recently unveiled. The autonomous and all-electric vessel will utilise Naval Dynamics' NDS AutoBarge 250 concept, developed in collaboration with Kongsberg and Massterly. With the signing of the preliminary study contract, DB Schenker and its co-operation partners - furniture giant Ekornes and ship designers Naval Dynamics, Kongsberg and Massterly - have taken the first steps towards replacing the traditional feeder vessels used in this Norwegian port....
