Different mixtures and phases in the same pipeline are a typical application for Real-Time Transient Model technology (RTTM) based systems, which try to consider all blends of different products and pipeline properties in its calculations. However, if the fluid cannot be accurately modelled by the system this leads to false results. Unforeseen operating conditions will also lead to false alarms. The Extended Real-Time Transient Model technology (E-RTTM) can compensate for these disadvantages.
Ammonia is at the top of the list of the potential shipping fuels of the future, being a zero-carbon solution that can become economically viable. The shipping industry has already built extensive experience in transporting and handling ammonia onboard vessels, and we are seeing major strides being made in designing ammonia-ready engines.
ENGIE, Shell, Vopak and Anthony Veder have agreed to develop a green hydrogen logistic maritime corridor connecting the ports of Sines in Portugal and Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
A hydrogen-fueled research vessel commissioned by the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography will be built to ABS Class.
The cruise division of MSC Group has confirmed an order for two additional luxury cruise ships to be built by Fincantieri and outfitted with hydrogen fuel cells for its Explora Journeys brand. They had signed a memorandum of intent a year ago to revise and increase the order for the Explora cruise ships bringing the total value of the shipbuilding project to €3.5 billion ($3.7 billion) by 2028.
China has placed its first hydrogen fuel cell-powered vessel into service. Officials from the Three Gorges Corporation, which will be operating the vessel as a demonstration ship, are calling it “a breakthrough in the application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in inland waterway ships.
SWITCH Maritime, a zero-emissions ferry company, has raised $10m in a Series a funding round as it seeks to expand its hydrogen and battery-powered fleet in the US.
Bergen Engines is known for producing medium-speed marine engines and generator series, and plays a key role in building the world's largest hydrogen-fueled hybrid ships. These ships are capable of using hydrogen and vegetable oil treated with water (HVO), a low-carbon storage resource. The use of HVO can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants.
