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.
Nauticus Robotics Inc. has announced the initial production run of the Nauticus Fleet, a robotic navy of 20 pairs of Hydronaut - Aquanaut. These tandem pairs will be deployed in multiple offshore industries, serving applications ranging from subsea maintenance and intervention to data collection. The first robots will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the rest will be delivered by the end of 2024.
'When it comes to low routine maintenance schedule, MAN L28/32 offers a great advantage with 20,000 hours between overhauls when operated on HFO. A low level of deformation and a low level of mechanical stresses (i.e. low wear-rates) are achieved through its sturdy engine structure and amply dimensioned running gear.'
Jugoturbina worked to satisfy its employees not only through working conditions but also to improve the living standards of all its employees and other citizens of Karlovac. Thus, during the years of its business, Jugoturbina organized various excursions and gatherings (Dance on Plitvice), opened a workers 'resort in Punat on Krlo, built a children's playground on Švarča, and organized workers' sports games in Karlovac.
Back in 1976, the first auxiliary engine under the SULZER license with the designation 12 ZV 40/48 was produced in Croatia, more precisely in the city on four rivers Karlovac, and in Karlovac there is still a company named Adriadiesel which is in charge of maintenance and supply of spare parts of that engine as well as all manufactured after it.
G-volution and SBL-Rail present dual fuel evolution concepts for Class 37, Class 59 and Class 66 locomotives. Dual fuel engines use compression ignition and burn two fuels simultaneously. This work shows how diesel fuel can be replaced by renewable net-zero carbon emissions fuels. The original diesel tanks were replaced with smaller ones and cylinders for biomethane or biopropane or hydrogen were installed. Compared to the original two-stroke EMD engine, the new four-stroke dual-fuel engine has a 10% reduction in fuel consumption. If a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is installed, the engine will spend less time responding to the increase in back pressure when the DPF fills. Route simulations were completed using OTMRs provided by these locomotive operators in combination with dual fuel engines.
