  5. Floating Data Centres… coming to a sea or lake near you soon…

    One reason quoted was the ability to save space on land, although I’m sure the ready supply of cooling water is a thing too.

    It begs the question as to which other industries could ‘off land’? Which other factories and other industrial facilities can we move?

    No escape from the Russian terror playbook . . . . . North Korea sending more ballistic missiles, troops to Russia as Ukraine's drones fly farther . . . . . Fire reported at Russian oil refinery located over 6,000 kilometers from Ukraine as Wildberries targeted again . . . . . and more

  7. Everyone’s watching the narrow passages now where too much of the world’s energy moves through too little space. Nothing’s shut, nothing’s broken. But the margins are tightening. Transit decisions are getting heavier. Insurance, routing, timing; each one leaning just enough to matter.

  15. Just saw the news about the EU launching 'OceanEye' and Barcelona building a 'Digital Twin' of their port using AI drones. Part of me (the guy who loves a clean dataset) is fascinated. Imagine being able to see every blade of seagrass and calculate blue carbon in real-time without ever dropping a tethered camera.

    Anyone else following these 'Ocean Digital Twins'? Or are you still partial to the view from the deck?

  16. Coastal Adventure in West Cork

    Just a few months shy of ten years ago, we’d visited Sherkin Island and as we were leaving I spotted a man on a RIB talking to two others on their dingy. It was a lovely warm August day, just before school was about to start again.

    In the background is the famous Baltimore Beacon, built in 1849 as a navigation guide.

  17. The crankshaft and pistons driving the incredible ship #Waverley, 79 years old and the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world. In person the hypnotic sound and motion are accompanied by rising heat and the distinctive aroma of hot grease. It's epic.

  18. How can ships become cleaner? | #DW Documentary

    Soot, particle pollution and heavy fuel oil: freighters and cruise liners are real climate killers. It’s high time for a change of course on the seas. The film shows how both #innovations and tried-and-tested ideas can make shipping cleaner.

    Container ships supply people all over the world with goods, while #cruises attract millions of passengers every year. But ships also cause around three percent of global #greenhouse gas emissions.

    This is despite the fact that emission-free #maritime #trade has been possible for thousands of years - thanks to the wind. "We need to get back to sailing ships," says Captain Andreas Lackner. Fifteen years ago, the #Austrian and two friends put a sailing cargo ship into operation. The "Tres Hombres" has been working since 2010, transporting up to 40 tons of goods across the seas without an engine. The clipper ship takes cocoa and rum from the Caribbean to Europe, or 20,000 bottles of organic wine from La #Rochelle to #Copenhagen. "We’re closing the gap between fairly paid producers of organic goods and conscious consumers," says Lackner.

    Others have also rediscovered the power of the wind. Ralf Oltmanns from East Frisia sailed the world's #oceans at the age of 16, before founding an advertising agency. Now, 30 years later, the passionate sailor has developed a new twist on a century-old propulsion system in order to make large ships cleaner. The Flettner rotor, named after its inventor, Anton Flettner, is a type of sailing machine: a cylindrical structure that rotates in the wind to generate thrust. Oltmanns has used the original invention to create a modern product. "Depending on the size of the rotor and the wind conditions, a freighter can save between 5 and 25 percent on fuel," the 63-year-old calculates. The rotor could make both cargo and passenger ships more climate-friendly. Anna Braren was convinced by his idea: Her shipping company equipped its first ship with the Flettner rotor in 2021.

    With countless innovations and strict regulations, #Norway is leading the way in the transition to emission-free #shipping. The #Scandinavians are focusing on #electric motors and hybrid #technologies. #Climate change is already being felt in the #Norwegian Arctic - another reason why the government is getting serious. From 2026, only emission-free ships will be allowed to sail in #Norway's most beautiful fjords. And climate-friendly #tourist ships are already sailing along the traditional postal ship route.

  19. In the eighty years between 1788 and 1868, some 162,000 #convicts were embarked on #transport #ships and #banished to the #colonies to serve their sentences. The 337-ton #barque #Neva sailed from the #Irish port of #Cork on 8th January 1835 bound for #Sydney with 153 #female #prisoners of the crown. Joining them were 55 #children. When the Neva struck a #reef in Bass Strait, some 150 #souls #perished.
