Fatigue due to on board work conditions in merchant vessels
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament de Ciència i Enginyeria Nàutiques, 2020)
[Abstract] Several publications point to the human error like the fundamental cause of the practical whole
of the accidents. Inside these accidents, the fatigue has been identified like a recurrent cause,
already was as ...
Fatigue due to on board work conditions in merchant vessels
(Universidad de Catabria, Spanish Society of Maritime Research (SEECMAR), 2020)
[Abstract] Several publications point to the human error like the fundamental cause of the practical whole of theaccidents. Inside these accidents, the fatigue has been identified like a recurrent cause, already was asfirst ...
Thermo-Economic Comparison between Three Different Electrolysis Technologies Powered by a Conventional Organic Rankine Cycle for the Green Hydrogen Production Onboard Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers
(MDPI, 2024)
[Abstract] The high demand for natural gas (NG) worldwide has led to an increase in the size of the LNG carrier fleet. However, the heat losses from this type of ship’s engines are not properly managed, nor is the excess ...
Novel Modeling for the Calculation of the Center of Lateral Resistance Position of Different Ships Making Use of a Full Mission Bridge Simulator and AI Tools
(MDPI, 2024)
[Abstract] Ship maneuvering in ports is increasingly reduced because the increase in ship size is not proportional to the increase in port areas. Furthermore, the number of assisted vessels and the need for tugboats working ...
La situación de compromiso entre las asistencias portuarias y de escolta; la necesidad de disponer de un remolcador versátil
(Universidade da Coruña, Servizo de Publicacións, 2022)
[Resumen] El crecimiento del tamaño de los buques asistidos, con los consecuentes riesgos
implícitos que originan y que, por circunstancias geográficas, no vino aparejada por un
incremento adecuado del tamaño de las ...
The decarbonisation of the maritime sector: Horizon 2050
(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2024)
[Abstract] The decarbonisation of the maritime sector is one of the world's priorities to reduce the volume of polluting emissions. The basis of this decarbonisation is the adaptation of existing ships to emission control ...
Effect of climate change on outdoor termal comfort in humid climates
(Springer, 2014)
[Abstract] Background: Galicia, in northwest Spain, experiences warm summers and winters. However, the higher relative
humidity that prevails the whole year through and the location of the summer hot points are related ...
Thermo-economic analysis of green hydrogen production onboard LNG carriers through solid oxide electrolysis powered by organic Rankine cycles
(Elsevier, 2025)
[Abstract] LNG carriers play a crucial role in the shipping industry meeting the global demand for natural gas (NG). However, the energy losses resulting from the propulsion system and the excess boil-off gas (BOG) cannot ...
Noise Exposure and Mitigation on High-Speed Craft: Assessing Acoustic Environment and Regulatory Compliance
(MDPI, 2024)
[Abstract] High-speed craft (HSC) present unique challenges regarding on-board noise levels, affecting crew safety, comfort, and operational efficiency. This study investigates noise exposure and mitigation strategies ...
Energy, exergy, economic and environmental analysis of a regasification system integrating simple ORC and LNG open power cycle in floating storage regasification units
(University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2023)
[Abstract] A thermodynamic, economic and environmental analysis of a regasification system including a simple Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and an Open Organic Rankine Cycle (OC) to utilise the liquefied natural gas (LNG) ...
