The document describes a concept for an environmentally friendly cargo vessel called the E/S Orcelle. It uses renewable energy sources like solar, wind and wave power, and fuel cells, to operate with zero emissions. Its pentamaran hull allows it to carry up to 10,000 vehicles on eight cargo decks, offering 50% more cargo capacity than current car carriers. The design aims to eliminate problems from ballast water through its hull shape and use of alternative propulsion instead of a traditional stern propeller.
Reefer ships and refrigerated containers (reefers) are used to transport perishable goods like fruit, meat, and vegetables by sea. Reefer ships exclusively carry refrigerated containers and provide power to cool each container. They are smaller than conventional container ships to accommodate the cooling systems. While reefer ships were previously dominant, refrigerated containers increasingly dominate maritime shipping, making up 72% of refrigerated transport capacity in 2013 versus 33% in 1980. Specialized reefer ships are declining as container ships install more plugs for refrigerated containers. New reefer ship designs aim to improve efficiency of transporting perishables like bananas.

The document discusses refrigerated cargo ships (reefer vessels) that transport perishable goods like fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat. It describes the types of reefer ships, their specialized equipment and designs to maintain precise temperatures and atmospheres. Modern technologies like controlled atmosphere systems use inert gases to slow ripening and inhibit pathogens, extending shelf life during transport by weeks. Precise monitoring and control of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels is required to prevent cargo from perishing.
Reefer ships are designed to transport perishable cargo at controlled temperatures. They have bulkheads and insulation dividing the hull into compartments to regulate temperature in each section. The largest reefer ship currently is a 9,600 TEU containership that can store 500,000 square meters of refrigerated goods. There are three main types of reefer ships: reefer cargo ships, reefer containerships, and fruit juice carriers. Reefer technology has evolved since the late 1800s to transport temperature-sensitive goods like meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables internationally by sea.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
The document discusses Green (Cell) Shipping as a method to increase sustainability and efficiency in the shipping industry. Green (Cell) Shipping involves powering ships primarily through renewable energy sources like solar and wind power stored in on-board batteries. This allows ships to reduce or eliminate their reliance on diesel engines and fuel. The document provides several examples of pilot projects using this technology, including a converted research vessel in Canada and cargo ships in Europe powered by hydrogen fuel cells and solar panels. It concludes that while renewable energy technologies still need improvements, Green (Cell) Shipping has the potential to significantly reduce emissions and costs in the shipping industry.

Strategies for the Success of Nuclear Powered Commercial Shippingwww.thiiink.com
ABSTRACT
The development of nuclear powered commercial ships has taken on greater
importance beyond transporting cargo cheaper. Increasing limitations on Sulfur Oxide
emissions from ships has put the global maritime industry on a search for economical
ways to meet current and future environmental regulations. With the inevitable
development of trans-Arctic shipping, nuclear power is the only means of preventing the
phenomenon of “graying of the ice”, which is the deposition of black carbon soot
particles on snow and ice from oil and natural gas burning engines, leading to increased
heat retention and melting. However, unless these next generation nuclear powered
ships are cost-effective and can achieve an acceptable level of safety, they will not be
deployed and their environmental advantages not realized. This paper discusses in
qualitative terms methods for the cost-effective and safe development of nuclear
powered commercial ships for world trade, specifically by a United States initiated
program. Discussed are changes to the nuclear regulatory model that can alleviate
certain economic burdens that ship-sized nuclear reactors may face, and
recommendations are made for how industry can actively lower nuclear power’s high
upfront costs. Emphasis is placed on the development of an inherently safe, widemarket
application reactor that can achieve these cost and safety goals.
The document discusses various innovations in clean shipping technologies to reduce environmental impacts. It describes how ships can be pulled by large kites called skysails to reduce fuel consumption when sailing downwind. Another technology uses bubbles blown under ship hulls by Mitsubishi's MAL system to reduce water resistance and save up to 25% on fuel. The document also discusses using solar and wind power on ships, with solar panels providing 10% of electricity for some cargo ships and making wind-powered ships feasible for some applications.
The document discusses various marine propulsion systems. It describes how ships are typically powered through a propeller connected to an engine that transforms an energy source into mechanical power. Common energy sources discussed include fossil fuels like diesel powering most ships, as well as alternative sources like solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen, and wave energy being explored. The document also examines different types of engines like steam, diesel, gas turbine, and their use in marine propulsion applications.
This document discusses air independent propulsion (AIP) technology for submarines. It describes several types of AIP systems including closed cycle diesel engines, closed cycle steam turbines, Sterling cycle engines, and fuel cells. Closed cycle diesel engines use liquid oxygen and inert gases, but were discontinued due to fire risks. Closed cycle steam turbines and Sterling cycle engines have higher power but are less efficient. Fuel cells are highly efficient, stealthy, and scalable, but are also complex and expensive. AIP systems allow conventional submarines to remain submerged for longer periods without surfacing, improving their stealth and endurance.
The DNV OFFA vessel is designed to use natural gas for all fuel and power needs, including refueling vehicles, helicopters, and submarines onboard. This allows it to serve as both an offshore air carrier and gigayacht. By using natural gas and implementing energy efficiency measures like insulation and an onboard smart grid, the DNV OFFA reduces energy consumption by over 50% compared to similar vessels. The proposed project team is led by Selim Stahl and requires competence in LNG and special ships. An estimated 2 million NOK is required to complete the project by September 1st.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF HYDROGEN FUELED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINEijsrd.com
In the history of internal combustion engine development, hydrogen has been considered at several phases as a substitute of hydrocarbon-based fuels. Starting from the 70’s, there have been several attempts to convert engines for hydrogen operation. Together with the development in gas injector technology it has become possible to control precisely the injection of hydrogen for safe operation. Here we are using stainless steel plate as electrode in the electrolytic cell, the electrolyte being water and NACL salt. The electrolytic cell we used is a 12V battery case made of plastic. The cross sectional layers are cut such that the stainless steel plate fix in the battery case. The plates are separated by very small distance and the plates are given parallel holes for electron flow to be uniform. The power source to the kit is provided by a 12V and 9Ams battery. We used a transparent tube to supply the hydrogen produced in the kit to the air hose tube of our motor cycle. In order to keep the battery charged we used two 6 Amp diode to power the battery while running. There is a separate switch to power the kit and to protect the battery from getting drained. The stainless steel plates are of 50cm length, 25cm height, 2 millimeter thickness. The battery case can hold up to 5 liters of electrolyte. The use of hydrogen with petrol to power the vehicle has resulted in increase in vehicle mileage, accelerating speed with most important task of reduction in exhaust emission.

The document summarizes Siemens' BlueDrive PlusC electric propulsion system, which uses variable speed diesel engines and generators. It discusses several vessels that have implemented this system, including the world's first battery-powered car ferry in Norway, two wind farm service vessels for Esvagt that saw 20-30% fuel reductions, and a new offshore construction vessel called Edda Freya being built for Østensjø Rederi. The system is said to significantly reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and maintenance costs compared to other options. Real-world data from Edda Ferd showed the BlueDrive PlusC system achieving a 100% utilization of emissions controls and 50% lower NOx emissions than LNG alternatives.

The document discusses trends in the maritime industry, including:
- Global economic growth is projected to increase to 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021.
- Trade tensions have eased with a partial trade deal between the US and China.
- New shipbuilding delivers more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly vessels to reduce carbon emissions. This includes larger ships that transport more cargo using less fuel per container.
- Technologies like Becker Ducts, rudder bulbs, and optimized propellers help reduce ships' fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Older, less efficient ships are increasingly being demolished as regulations like IMO 2020 require upgrades that are not cost effective for
Nearly all watercraft today use gasoline or diesel engines, which produce air and water pollution and have inherent maintenance issues. Solar power and electric engines provide a more sustainable alternative, though current solar panel technology is not efficient enough to power large container ships solely on solar. However, smaller watercraft could feasibly use lithium iron phosphate batteries charged by solar panels. These batteries are safer and more environmentally friendly than lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries. Further research in solar boat technology could help reduce pollution from water transportation.
EUROHUL is a compact and complete shipyard with excellent facilities, including drydocks (PPA- COSCO owner), to secure the best possible quality on every process in the outfitting, integration and finishing of new buildings, ship repairs and conversions. All assets are in walking distance from the yard administration offices.
In ancient times, ships were used to travel and explore new lands, but required significant fuel storage which added weight. Later, steam engines and nuclear power were adopted for marine propulsion. Nuclear power provided significant advantages by using small amounts of fuel to power ships for long periods without refueling, helping address energy and range issues for naval vessels. Nuclear marine propulsion works by using a nuclear reactor to create steam that drives turbines and generators to power the ship. While allowing for long-range operation, nuclear marine propulsion requires extensive shielding and specially trained crews, and any failures could have severe environmental impacts.

The document provides an introduction to wind powered vehicles, discussing their history from ancient sailboats to modern innovations. It explains that wind powered vehicles harness wind energy to propel movement, making them sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel vehicles. The document then covers the basic working principles of wind powered vehicles and various types including sailboats, wind turbines, and land yachts. It discusses advantages like using renewable energy but also challenges around intermittent wind, energy storage and lack of infrastructure. The current state and future outlook is presented as promising with cargo ships, racing vehicles and trains integrating wind power technologies.
The document discusses liquid electricity in the form of a vanadium redox battery (VRB). A VRB works by pumping charged and discharged electrolytes into and out of the battery, allowing it to be "recharged" quickly by just swapping the electrolytes. This could enable electric vehicles to refuel similar to gas vehicles by exchanging the spent electrolyte for a fresh one. Researchers are working to improve the technology and reduce costs to facilitate using liquid electricity for electric vehicle transportation and grid storage applications.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

3. GREEN FLAGSHIP
Bringing goods to the global market
Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s commitment to protecting the
environment often runs ahead of the schedules mandat-
ed by international legislation. So it may come as no
surprise that Wallenius Wilhelmsen is at the forefront of
vessel design. The result? The E/S Orcelle, Wallenius
Wilhelmsen’s vision for the future of an environmentally
friendly ocean transport industry.
This concept vessel does not release any emissions
into the atmosphere or into the ocean. It uses renew-
able energy sources and fuel cells to generate the
energy required to power the vessel. Its highly
advanced design provides optimum cargo capacity to
transport cars and other goods around the world more
efficiently.
www.2wglobal.com Green flagship 3
4. ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES
Renewable energy
Sustainable shipping depends on the use of new tech-
nologies and on the utilisation of energy from renew-
able sources. Wallenius Wilhelmsen believes that the
future of the shipping industry lies in the utilisation of
the energy sources already available at sea: the energy
from the sun, from the wind and from the waves.
We believe that the industry as a whole must put
more effort into developing sustainable ocean transport
solutions that are both viable and cost-effective. To that
end, the design of the E/S Orcelle is based on the utili-
sation of energy from renewable sources. Wallenius
Wilhelmsen is well aware that the technologies
required to enable this concept vessel to become a
reality in the next 20 years need to be developed.
We have observed various emerging technologies
that enable smaller ships to utilise energy from renew-
able sources. And we are keeping a close watch on
emerging trends and are hopeful that these solutions
may become applicable to larger vessels sometime in
the future. Renewable energy sources have the poten-
tial to provide an abundant supply of energy with mini-
mal environmental impact and at relatively low cost.
We look forward to the future.
www.2wglobal.com Alternative energy sources 4
5. OPTIMUM CARGO CAPACITY
More versatile vessel
The E/S Orcelle will have an optimum cargo capacity of
85,000 m2 of cargo deck stowage area, roughly equiva-
lent to 14 football fields. This is up to 50% more space
than today’s modern car carriers, which are capable of
transporting 6,500 vehicles.
The E/S Orcelle will be capable of transporting up
to 10,000 cars on eight cargo decks. Three of the
decks will be adjustable to accommodate cargo of dif-
ferent heights and weights.
Compared to today’s vessels, the pentamaran hull
shape of the E/S Orcelle and its utilisation of energy
from renewable sources will help optimise the cargo-
carrying capacity of the vessel. The E/S Orcelle will
have a maximum deadweight capacity of 13,000 tons
and weigh 21,000 tons much like today’s car carriers.
Yet the E/S Orcelle will be capable of carrying approxi-
mately 3,000 more tons of cargo, thanks to the use of
lightweight materials and the elimination of ballast
water.

8. WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The E/S Orcelle is named after the Irrawaddy dolphin,
or Orcelle in French. WWF, the global conservation
organisation includes the dolphin, which resembles the
beluga whale, among the world's critically endangered
species.
Although the species now inhabits limited coastal
and freshwater areas in South-East Asia, Wallenius
Wilhelmsen chose to name its ship of the future after
the dolphin in recognition of the immediate danger of
this species’ extinction.
The abbreviation, E/S, stands for Environmentally
sound Ship. The E/S Orcelle releases zero emissions
into the atmosphere and no operational discharges into
the sea.
