Underwater vehicles contribute significantly to exploiting great maritime resources. Autonomous vehicles are one of the various kinds of underwater vehicles which are able to perform operations without operator's interference. Autonomous underwater vehicles can be classified according to their propulsion systems. Autonomous Underwater Gliders (AUG) are among autonomous underwater vehicles which fall under the category of glide type underwater vehicles. They are designed in a way that they benefit low energy consumption and a wide survey range. Their reliable design is one of the challenges facing their manufacturing. Fault tolerance is one of the important attributes in designing reliable systems. Recognizing, evaluating and facing the faults are of great importance in designing fault tolerant systems. This paper studies underwater Glider vehicles' subsystems, considers their faults and causes, and provides a typical fault tree for these vehicles form which glider reliability and the effects of glider subsystems on its failure can be driven.

Compilation of package of practices for energy conservation fisheriesAshish sahu
Fishing in India is a major industry employing 145 million people. India ranks second in aquaculture and third in fisheries production. Fisheries contributes to 1.07% of the Total GDP of India. According to the National Fisheries Development Board the Fisheries Industry generates an export earnings of Rs 334.41 billion.[1] According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, fish production has increased more than tenfold since 1947 and doubled between 1990 and 2010.[2]Each year, India celebrates July 10 as the National Fish Farmers day.[3]
India has 7,500 kilometres (4,700 mi) of marine coastline, 3,827 fishing villages and 1,914 traditional fish landing centers. India's fresh water resources consist of 195,210 kilometres (121,300 mi) of rivers and canals, 2.9 million hectares of minor and major reservoirs, 2.4 million hectares of ponds and lakes, and about 0.8 million hectares of flood plain wetlands and water bodies.[4] As of 2010, the marine and freshwater resources offered a combined sustainable catch fishing potential of over 4 million metric tonnes of fish. In addition, India's water and natural resources offer a tenfold growth potential in aquaculture (farm fishing) from 2010 harvest levels of 3.9 million metric tonnes of fish, if India were to adopt fishing knowledge, regulatory reforms and sustainability policies.[
Globally we need to halve the carbon emissions by 2050. Through the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), the industry also contributes significantly to climate change.Several reulations has been put in place to help recude CO2 emissions but the shipping industry is still faced by some challenges. Big Data is helping to cut fuel bills and CO2 emissions. Objective is to build a ship rating tool for ranking and rating ships on their emissions.
This work presents hydrodynamic characterization and comparative analysis of high speed crafts
(HSCs). HSCs performance characterizing is a serious concern to Hydrodynamicists because of the wide
variation of total resistance with hull-form, trim, draft and speed. Conversely, these parameters are not duly
analyzed during design due to inadequate theories. Therefore, this research investigates total resistance, wetted
surface and effective trim of four different HSC hull-forms. An interactive computer-program is developed based
on Savitsky and CAHI algorithms, and the results compared against test-data. The analysis correctly predicts
quantitatively the resistances of the four hull-forms at high speeds but with some discrepancies at speeds below
12 knots. The average standard-deviation for resistance predictions by CAHI = 4.69 kN and Savitsky= 6.13 KN.
Also, the results indicate that the transition from bow-wetting to full-planing occurs at 12 knots, and beyond
which the effective trim is fairly constant. Again, the wetted length-beam ratio (λm) drops rapidly from bowwetting
speeds to a plateau at speeds >12knot where hydrodynamic lift prevails. Standard-deviations of λm by
Savitsky’s and CAHI are 1.07 and 1.41, respectively. In conclusion, model-predictors are reasonably in good
agreement with measurement.

Carbon emissions are depleting the ozone layer. Globally, we need to half the carbon emissions by 2050. The Ship Emission Rating Index (SERI) helps ships to compare their emission rating with similar ships. SERI also helps to motivate ship owners to be the best they can be by striving to be on the leaderboard for being in the top class for environment friendly rated ships, demonstrated through their Ship Emission Rating. SERI will motivate ships to reduce their emissions as no ship would like to be at the bottom of the ratings. Ships with good Emission Ratings will have an advantage when seeking bank loans and insurance cover as banks and insurance companies will prefer to insure and lend environmental friendly ships that are highly rated and ranked.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Added Resistance % (reference trials) Ship type
12. The development of ship resistance higher with TBT-free “ it is clearly seen on the trends of the graph that the performance decay was significantly smaller before the year 2000, i.e. the old very poisonous antifouling systems were indeed very effective compared with more recent systems applied to this vessel. Clearly, the vessel is due for immediate hull cleaning or dry-docking with its present performance”. -- SNAME Paper (AP Moeller, 2009)

22. Full Correction of Performance Data True performance and trial trip reference ◄ (there is only one true curve in this scatter for one loading condition) ▼
23. ‘ Noon report’ vs. Careful Data (not the same ships, but illustrating scatter in noon-data)
24. Performance Data Complexity SPEED - For the 25 sets of observations in 2009 the average speed is found to be 18.223 knots, while the corresponding average speed for the 6 sets of observations in 2010 is 19.55 knots. The difference in speed (7.3%) which is an extra power consumption of 1.073 in 3 rd power, equal to approx. 24%. WEATHER - The weather losses in 2009 were 17%, while they in 2010 were 10%. This gives a difference in the fuel consumption of approximately 7%. DRAFT - Finally, the mean draft in 2009 was 6.325 m, while it in 2010 was 6.154 m. This gives a difference of the fuel consumption of approx. 3%. The difference in fuel consumption under the same conditions becomes 24% - 7% - 3% = 14%, which is exactly the improvement of the added resistance, which was given in the reports after the latest dry-docking.
25. The added resistance of hull and propeller translates into a speed/fuel penalty (at 15 kn was 57 t/day NOW 67 t/day = 10t/day excess fuel = 31.7 t/day CO2
28. 50% (blast area) 10% At 22 knots: 140 tons/day At 140 t/day: 2 knot loss from trials At 22 knots: 154 tons/day At 154 t/day: 2.5 knot loss from trials Reference: 110 tons/day trials at 22 knots
29. Long Port Stay 20% increase in hull resistance after 4-week stay ( speed loss approximately 0.9 kn or increase in fuel use 8 tons/day) Suezmax 24 t/day of excess CO2 emitted at design speed
30. Idling and Resistance “ Confirming that the vessel did sit for approximately 37 days during the period of no performance data. She also recently had a hull/propeller cleaning due to the fouling which occurred during this storage period. The cleaning is incomplete and will be finished when weather improves in the area”.

32. Full hull blast can make major difference in hull/prop condition 20 year old Newbuild
38. Coating delamination Note below condition of hull, the resistance of this ship increased by 12% over a period of 5 months. This represents approximately 2.5% per month which is higher than a good performing coating system after leaving dock (normal 0.5% - 1.5% per month initially). The steep development of resistance was later confirmed by visual inspections of the hull and the eventual docking of the ship and new coating applied.
