Technical Presentation: Wartsila EEXI Engine Power Limitation Energy Efficiency Technology
C.I.MAR.E. ST. LAWRENCE BRANCH INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR AN INFORMATIVE WEBINAR
DATE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th, 2021
TIME: 12:00 Eastern (8:00 Pacific, 13:00 Atlantic, 13:30 NFLD)
Wartsila EEXI Engine Power Limitation Energy Efficiency Technology
Abstract: Synopsis: Planned to come into action in 2023 the proposed amendments to the MARPOL convention requires ships to combine a technical and an operational approach to reduce their carbon intensity. This is in line with the ambition of the Initial IMO GHG Strategy, which aims to reduce carbon intensity of international shipping by 40% by 2030, compared to 2008. The technical requirement to reduce carbon intensity, based on a new Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI); and the operational carbon intensity reduction requirements is based on a new operational carbon intensity indicator (CII). The dual approach aims to address both technical (how the ship is retrofitted and equipped) and operational measures (how the ship operates). The attained Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) is required to be calculated for every ship and in this webinar we will analyze the calculation and identify measures that will improve efficiency that will by extension improve the EEXI and CII.

Technical Presentation: The Use of Flexible Couplings
C.I.MAR.E. ST LAWRENCE BRANCH INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR AN INFORMATIVE WEBINAR
DATE: TUESDAY, MAY 11th, 2021
TIME: 12:00 Eastern (9:00 Pacific, 13:00 Atlantic, 13:30 NFLD)
THE USE OF FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Abstract: What you need to know about couplings
Although a relatively small part in a driveline, a flexible coupling is a very important part. So why do you need a coupling in your driveline, and why is it so important to make sure the correct model is selected.
We will take a general look at the selection process and what details you have understand to make sure your propulsion system works flawlessly.

Started work at the Damen Shipyards head office as purchasing manager for all the Tugs and Workboats.Degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Rotterdam.
Between VULKAN and Damen spend some time at Exalto, a supply company for yacht builders.
In 2007, joined VULKAN sales in the Netherlands, working with many types of applications and customers, like the large dredgers at IHC, or complete drivelines for thruster applications at ZF.
Moved with the family to Florida in 2011 to work together with our outside sales force to develop and grow our marine and industrial business.
As son of a Captain, always said I wanted nothing to do with ships, but I guess there is no flying from fate 😊
Technical Presentation: OCEANOGRAPHIC BUOY MOORINGS
C.I.MAR.E. VANCOUVER ISLAND BRANCH INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR AN INFORMATIVE WEBINAR
DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 2021
TIME: 19:00 Pacific (22:00 Eastern, 23:00 Atlantic, 23:30 NFLD)
OCEANOGRAPHIC BUOY MOORINGS
This coming Thursday, the 19th of March, Ryan Nicoll will give a presentation on how the mooring systems of deep-ocean oceanographic buoys are developed, along with a comparison of predicted vs. actual mooring loads. Oceanographic moorings are critical to our collective ability to measure and understand oceanographic processes. The moorings locate buoys in all water depths, and must survive the effects of wind, currents, and waves. Development and deployment of these buoys is critically dependent on their mooring systems.
The mooring systems, in turn, are site-specific to the buoys’ location, and the engineering behind the mooring systems are a specialty of DSA Ocean, which Ryan founded.
Technical Presentation – FUTURE TECHNOLOGY and PRESERVING LIFE at SEA
C.I.MAR.E. ATLANTIC BRANCH INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM FOR AN INFORMATIVE WEBINAR
DATE: THURSDAY, MARCH 11th
TIME: 18:00 AST (17:00 EASTERN, 14:00 PACIFC, 18:30 NFLD)
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY and PRESERVING LIFE at SEA
A presentation by the Future Technology Panel of the International Maritime Rescue Federation
For thousands of years humankind has had a beneficial relationship with the world’s oceans, lakes, and rivers, for food, transport, and leisure. However, this relationship has not been without cost, the risk of injury and death has always been present, over 300,000 people drown annually.
For the past two centuries rescue organizations have responded to those in distress on the water. Over one hundred of these maritime rescue organizations from 54 countries worldwide are members of the International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF), an NGO at IMO. The IMRF facilitates the sharing of experience, expertise, and knowledge among its member organizations in order to save lives, and to protect rescue personnel worldwide.
The Future Technology Panel (FTP) of the IMRF is a group of member organizations which meet to share information and assist each other with the evaluation and implementation of new technologies. The projects cover many areas, large and small, such as the application of Remotely Piloted Air and Marine Systems, autonomous systems, electronic alerting and locating technologies, small craft navigation, crew safety and health.
This presentation outlines many of these technologies, the processes to identify and evaluate these technologies, the possible benefits, and pitfalls, the impact on the public safety, and the impact on the safety of rescue personnel. The FTP members evaluate technologies which have near term application, and those which look further into the future.
This presentation will be of interest to anyone who is concerned with Maritime Safety. Contributors: Search & Rescue Organizations & related firms in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, & the United Kingdom.
