Ship Handling in Unprotected Waters: A Review of New Technologies in Escort Tugs to Improve Safety
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] It is a well-known fact that the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster caused the escort towing of laden tankers in many coastal areas of the world to become compulsory. In order to implement a new type of escort towing, ... -
Situación actual de la gestión del COVID a bordo de los buques
(2022)[Resumen ]El objetivo de esta ponencia es exponer y dar a conocer la situación actual en materia de gestión y operaciones que se lleva a cabo a bordo de los buques después de que su operatividad se viera afectada por los ... -
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 ... -
Spring-loaded Winch Band Brakes as Tools to Improve Safety During Mooring Operations on Ships
(2020-09)[Abstract] Some recent accident reports involving large vessels in mooring operations or breaking away from their moorings conclude that brakes of mooring winches do not render before line parts. As the potential loss of ... -
Study of possibilities of using a steam plant type "reheat" and mixed boilers of coal and fuel-oil for the propulsion of bulkcarriers
(Universidad de Cantabria. ETS de Náutica, 2011)[Abstract] This study aims to analyze the possibilities of using a steam turbine plant for propulsion of vessels for transporting coal; and they use the coal carried by themselves as fuel to propulsion system. The study ... -
Sustainability in Maritime Transport: Advances, Solutions and Pending Tasks
(MDPI, 2023)[Introduction] This Special Issue “Sustainability in Maritime Transport: Advances, Solutions and Pending Tasks”, gives an up-to-date overview of the use new technologies to obtain more sustainable maritime transport based ... -
Teachers’ Perception of the Gender Gap in STEAM Subjects in Pre-University Stages
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract] The term STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is associated with a promising pedagogical approach to improve the development of students at different educational stages. Degrees linked ... -
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 ... -
The Effect of Circadian Rhythms on Shipping Accidents
(Cambridge University Press [University Publisher], Royal Institute of Navigation [Associate Organisation], 2021)[Abstract] It is a well-known fact that humans are subject to circadian alterations caused by the action of sunlight. This strongly affects their behaviour and skill, making them change their level of alertness from high ... -
The Influence of Climate Parameters on Maintenance of Wind Farms: A Galician Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] There are different monitoring procedures in wind farms with two main objectives: (i) to improve energy production by the capability of the national electrical network and (ii) to reduce the stooped hours due ... -
The Limitations on the Use of the IMO CSS Code in Project Cargo—Case Study: Grillage Design for the Sea Transport of Gas Slug Catchers
(MDPI AG, 2020-04-29)[Abstract] Heavy cargo units with a relatively reduced footprint area require a support surface large enough to transfer the forces onto the largest possible surface and/or the main stiffening (longitudinal and transverse) ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
