The U.S. imposed on Tuesday sanctions on the Russian pipe-laying vessel that was expected to complete the construction of the gas pipeline Nord Stream 2, while several Western companies are said to have abandoned links to the project for fear of sanctions.  

The final stretch of the construction of the controversial pipeline now looks even more uncertain, and even Russian gas giant Gazprom has warned investors that the Nord Stream 2 project could be suspended or entirely discontinued due to extraordinary circumstances, including “political pressure.”

The U.S. Department of State slapped sanctions on Tuesday on the Russia-based entity KVT-RUS and identified the pipe-laying vessel FORTUNA it owns as blocked property.

DFDS and its partners have applied for EU support for development of a ferry powered by electricity from a hydrogen fuel cell which only emits water.

Green hydrogen is to be produced by a projected offshore wind energy-powered electrolyser plant in Greater Copenhagen.

A group of companies have partnered up to develop a 100% hydrogen powered ferry for DFDS’ Oslo – Frederikshavn – Copenhagen route.

The ferry will be powered by electricity from a hydrogen fuel cell system that emits only water and can produce up to 23 MW to propel the ferry.

“The largest fuel cell systems today produce only 1-5 MW, and the development of such large-scale fuel cell installations for an electric ferry is a monumental task. We can

December 8, 2020, by Jasmina Ovcina

South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to build 10 LNG-powered very large crude carriers (VLCCs) for an undisclosed European client, Business Korea reported citing the shipyard.

If the contract for the ten 300,000-ton dual fuel VLCCs moves forward, its value could hit KRW 1.1 trillion ($1 billion), with each tanker estimated to be worth around $100 million.

Based on the report, DSME expects to finalize the deal in the first quarter of 2021.

It has been a rather busy period for South Korean shipbuilding majors having reported a flurry of orders over the past month, helping end the year on a more

Mitsui OSK Lines, Ltd. (MOL) anunció que un sistema de generación de energía de ciclo binario para barcos, desarrollado junto a Kobe Steel, inició sus pruebas tras su instalación en un buque transportador de mineral (VLOC).

 

VVartsila

El proyecto marca la primera aplicación del sistema en un buque de este tipo y se busca confirmar el rendimiento y la durabilidad del sistema en condiciones reales de funcionamiento en el mar.

El sistema se basa en el calor residual al enfriar el aire de barrido para el motor principal de la embarcación, un enfoque que rara vez se ha utilizado en el pasado. Puede generar hasta aproximadamente 100 kW de potencia calentando y evaporando el medio de trabajo, que tiene un punto de ebullición más bajo
