From mentorship, global internships and the chance to explore different roles, this MaritimeONE scholar has gained insights she never expected to acquire

For the longest time, it was history and literature that captivated Fatimah Zahra Ebnuarabi, who thought she would find her future in words, not ships.

It was a conversation with her elder brother that first steered her towards the maritime industry. It felt distant – a world associated with vessels, voyages and complex operations.

“I thought maritime was too specialised,” admits the 22-year-old.

 The third newly built U.S. training ship for the merchant marine, the State of Maine, was handed over to TOTE Services and delivered to the U.S. Maritime Administration. It will be the fifth training vessel, and the first purpose-built vessel, to be operated by the Maine Maritime Academy, located in Castine, Maine.

The handover to the U.S. government took place at the Hanwha Philly Shipyard, and the vessel is scheduled to depart for Maine in the coming days. Once it arrives in Portland, Maine, there will be an official arrival ceremony and formal handover

El Dominio Público Marítimo Terrestre (DPMT) es la única categoría de bienes de dominio público estatal español directamente individualizada por la propia Constitución de 1978, sin dejarlo en manos del legislador ordinario.

La Constitución señala que la zona marítimo-terrestre, las playas, las aguas interiores, el mar territorial y los recursos naturales de la zona económica y la plataforma continental son bienes del DPMT, y la Ley de Costas precisa estos conceptos.

Bienes tan valiosos y anhelados por todos como las playas, las dunas, los escarpes, las bermas, los acantilados, las marismas, los humedales litorales, etc, son de DPMT, tanto para su protección, como para su garantía de disfrute público.

Todos debemos tener garantizado el derecho de disfrute de estos bienes del DPMT eso sí, con usos adecuados, que ni comprometan su integridad

What apparent and real slip tell you about engine load and ship performance

 

QUICK ANSWER: PROPELLER SLIP AT A GLANCE

What is slip?
• The difference between how far a propeller should move forward per revolution and how far it actually does
• Because water yields and accelerates aft, the propeller never fully converts each turn into forward motion
• There are two types: apparent slip (based on ship speed) and real slip (based on the actual water speed arriving at the propeller)
• At a quay trial with zero ship speed, both slip ratios equal 1.0 — meaning 100% slip

Why it matters:
• Slip is a direct indicator of propeller load — the higher the slip, the higher the load
• Rising slip means the engine works harder for the same speed, burning more fuel
• Uncontrolled
