CRP Subsea has invested in a new precision-engineered manufacturing cell to support its growing manufacturing production needs. The dedicated cell expanded its machining capabilities by introducing a 5-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine and a 3-axis turning center. The new unit will be used to produce the internal clamps of the distributed buoyancy modules.
Bayonet Ocean Vehicles was formed following the acquisition of C-2 Innovations' line of undersea crawling robots. Headquartered in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the company shares with Greensea a newly renovated 17,000-square-foot manufacturing facility with waterfront access for year-round testing and training. The robots have been renamed the Bayonet 150, Bayonet 250 and Bayonet 350 vehicles. Their applications include amphibious operations and coastal warfare, such as mine detection and mine clearance.
Through years of work and experience in solving construction and production problems, more and more science has been incorporated into products and processes. Increasingly, self-developed electronics, a development laboratory, computer programs, and computer-aided informatics and organizations were used. At the end of the 60's, the" Research and Development" unit was established, and at the end of the 70's, the "Jugoturbine Institute". The development of basic products remained in the working organizations for the production of steam turbines, engines and pumps, but more and more laboratories, computer capacities, development and investment engineers were concentrated in the Institute, which reached 330 employee's in the mid-1980s.
Education as one of the most important determinants of the factory's survival was incomplete without a complete concept, with an insufficient number and uncoordinated structure of employees. For a example is the fact that in times of financial crisis, the company employed 35 graduate mechanical engineers, which was still insufficient given the volume of production. Due to the need for workers, a comprehensive and comprehensive program of support for education and engagement of workers has been defined.
The market share of marine diesel engines is expected to grow rapidly owing to rising environmental awareness and increasing retrofit efforts. Various government measures to reduce marine pollution across the ECA may impact the demand for low-emission engines. Reductions in CO2 emissions and affordable prices in economically viable locations are some of the key factors driving product installations. The U.S. marine diesel industry is expected to grow significantly through 2027 as the situation normalizes. Rising import and export activities, and subsequent exploration efforts to meet expanding diesel demand, are likely to positively impact the industry outlook in 2021-2027. Worsening crude oil prices favor the deployment of diesel because of its higher efficiency compared to current alternatives.
MAN Energy Solutions has won an order for four dual-fuel MAN B&W 6S60ME-GI engines for the construction of two 8,000-lane-meter hybrid Ro-Ro vessels for CLdN. Each vessel will also be equipped with 2 × 6 MW electric propulsion motors, enabling the vessel to maintain a service speed of 16-17 knots in all-electric mode. The newbuildings will further reduce carbon intensity by 40% while meeting NOx Tier III standards. Human energy solutions. The ME-GI (-Gas Injection) engine sets a new industry standard for two-stroke propulsion engines on ro-ro, PCTC, container ships, bulk carriers, tankers and LNG carriers.
ME-Gi engines deliver the industry's lowest CO2 and methane leak emissions for LNG-fueled ships. The diesel principle ensures 100% reliable operation during gas load changes with only the normal amount of pilot oil added.
