From PPA to PPA EVO: the evolution of Fincantieri’s Multi Purpose Combat Ship project
"A naval vessel based on reconfigurability offers numerous advantages. Firstly, the ship can upgrade systems and configurations without resorting to new construction, ensuring that the vessel remains state-of-the-art without the need for costly overhauls."

Cleaner shipping fuel is now mandatory as the Mediterranean becomes a low-emissions zone.
Ships in the Mediterranean must now use cleaner fuel with lower sulphur content, as the sea on Thursday becomes the world’s fifth low-emissions zone.
Reducing sulphur emissions is expected to improve air and water quality and benefit human and environmental health.
Research in museums is impossible without networking and cooperation. Last week, we visited the International Maritime Museum & the German Harbour Museum in Hamburg with our team from the German Maritime Museum. A day full of dialogue & exchange

I drive the bridge multiple times a week. Sometimes multiple times a day. I love the feeling of coming east and leaving the western shore behind. The #Chesapeakebay Bridge is often called the scariest #bridge in the US. They say that the older eastbound span is particularly frightening. There’s a curve in the road on the ascent to the bridge’s highest point that can make it seem like you’re driving off the edge. The bridge’s highest sections are exposed to the elements and often hit by storms. In bad weather, visibility can be so poor that land is invisible. High winds will shut down the bridge. Low, open barriers allow you to see the water far below. Giant #ships travel through daily.
The view from the water below is beautiful

Immer mehr Schiffe haben einen Flattner Rotor um Sprit zu sparen. Hier hat die 'Annika Braren' so ein riesen Ding auf der Back stehen. Ich kapier das physikalische Prinzip dahinter nicht. Scheint aber wohl zu funktionieren
