Netherlands: Jules Verne's fiction 2.0

Six months ago, we reported on the "Nautilus" here. The submersible superyacht is a luxury project by Dutch boat builder "U-Boat Worx", which shines above water as a yacht with a pool and sun deck, and offers the legendary luxury of Jule Verne's fantastic fiction under water - only on the most modern level. All this can be read in the original article attached. Now "U-Boat Worx" has teamed up with the Italian design studio "Officina Amare" to design the interior - virtually for the time being, of course. The mezzanine deck located in the forward underwater hull offers plenty of cosy places with comfortable seating areas that can also be used in extended company.

Anschütz supplies mine defence command and control system for Indonesian boats Abeking & Rasmussen (Lemwerder, Bremen) had commissioned Anschütz (Kiel) to develop and supply an integrated mine countermeasures (MCM) solution for two mine countermeasures units of the Indonesian Navy. The first of the two brand new vessels, which are among the most modern of their kind, is currently successfully completing its sea trials. Both units are due to be delivered to the Indonesian Navy before the end of this year. The integrated solution consists of navigation and bridge systems, an integrated SYNTACS command and control system and a modern sonar for mine hunting. A newly developed software module provides the necessary functions for planning, executing, coordinating...

From a press release by mtu / Rolls Royce Power Solutions Politicians say that combustion engines will be obsolete by 2035. And mtu is currently developing a new hydrogen combustion engine for stationary power supply. Engineers at Rolls-Royce are working in an interdisciplinary team to develop a piece of the future for a company that has so far mainly manufactured diesel and gas engines: the first hydrogen combustion engine. For two years now, the team has been working intensively on the challenging combustion process of hydrogen. This is because hydrogen is extremely flammable: if only a small amount of it is present in the air, a small spark is enough to ignite the mixture. Although the engineers...

German Navy: We are puzzling a corvette!

In order to give as many German shipyards as possible a slice of the cake, construction is split between them: one builds the forecastle, another the stern, the third puts everything together and turns it into a proper hull - and the fourth gives the ship an electronic interior! This is what happened again with the German Navy's latest newbuilding, the corvette Luebeck. The towing train with the corvette's forecastle section was towed from German Naval Yards Kiel (GNYK) through the Kiel Canal (NOK) to Blohm+Voss in Hamburg on 25 March 2023. One day later, on 26 March 2023, the corvette, built by the Lürssen-Peenewerft...

Sustainable ship recycling - an opportunity for Germany?

Sustainable ship recycling - an opportunity for Germany?

DNV press release In its 2021-2025 coalition agreement, the current German government writes: "We are strengthening shipbuilding across the entire value chain, including ship recycling, as the industrial core in Germany." The Deutsche Nautische Verein von 1868 e. V. (DNV) and the Maritime Cluster Norddeutschland e. V. (MCN) very much welcome this statement, as we see considerable challenges in the strengthening of the entire value chain proclaimed by the federal government - in particular the establishment of sustainable ship recycling - in Germany, from which an urgent need for action can be derived. As an important shipping location with the great significance of its ports for the flow of goods in an export-orientated economy, Germany is...
