The expansion covering over 70 percent of its entire fleet represents an increase from the 32 ships announced in September 2013.
being used for the first time in the restricted space found on cruise ships. The systems will enable Carnival Corporation to meet new regulations that place a cap on sulfur content of fuel oil at 0. 1 percent
In addition to those 41 ships, two other Carnival Corporation brands, AIDA Cruises and Costa Cruises, will also install the systems 10 ships for AIDA Cruises and six ships for Costa Cruises.
and having the new systems on our ships will be another effective way for us to meet that objective.
In September 2013, Carnival Corporation announced it had pioneered adapting a proven exhaust gas cleaning technology to use on its ships.
The implementation of the ECO-EGC systems has allowed also Carnival Cruise lines to return ships to homeporting in Baltimore and Norfolk
For the first time this combination is being developed to accommodate restricted spaces on existing ships. Carnival Corporation plan incorporates a two-pronged system one to reduce particulates from the ship engine emissions,
and another to use seawater to crubsulfur compounds from the exhaust gases. Though widely used on land, the system incorporation in oceangoing vessels is considered a significant advancement in environmental technology.
) Together, these brands operate 101 ships totaling 212,000 lower berths with seven new ships scheduled to be delivered between fall 2014 and summer 2016.
#Safer cruise ships thanks to EU-funded research The three-year LYNCEUS project which ends in early 2015 is demonstrating how low-power wireless technologies can help localise
and track people onboard ships providing essential information in cases of evacuation and improve overboard search and rescue.
The aim is to revolutionise current emergency management and ship evacuation practice. We have developed innovative wireless tags
which can be embedded into life jackets so the location of people within the ship can be pinpointed easily said Dr. Anastasis Kounoudes technical leader and CEO of Signalgenerix one of the project partners.
or help parents keep track of the location of their children on large cruise ships which can carry thousands of passengers and crew.
By redesigning the ships they would have up to 20%more chance of surviving groundings or collisions.

parachute-shaped"sea anchor"to slow down a drifting ship and put it in a better position for rescue and recovery operations.
the sea anchor had turned a 120,000-tonne fuel tanker and slowed its drift by 58 percent.
When a ship loses power, it will often turn so that wind and waves are striking the vessel perpendicularly causing it to rock side-to-side.
and repair crews to board a ship in such an unstable condition. In a worst-case scenario, a drifting ship can tip over,
be driven onto a beach or rocky coast, or slam into an oil rig, lighthouse or other structure.
First, a helicopter drops a lasso that is fastened to the ship's bow. Next, a 200-metre chain is dropped into the water.
At the end of the chain is a 30-metre-wide sea anchor that opens under water like a parachute both slowing down the drifting ship and turning it 90 degrees.
With the wind and waves now in parallel to the ship instead of hitting the ship from the side the rolling motion is reduced greatly.
This allows the rescue team to board the ship more easily rescue the crew and make repairs.

If the ship smoke alarms and cameras detect a fire, the ship will turn on the sprinklers
and seal off the area. When the fire is out, the ship knows to drain the water so the crew can investigate.
All of this automation means the ship will carry a crew of just over 150alf of
what would normally be required on a ship of this size. In a pinch, it can be manned by a crew of 40.
The Zumwalt also boasts what Raytheon calls a Total Ship Computing Environment, which allows it to be controlled from any of a couple dozen consoles around the ship.

#Russia Orders Helicopters For Its New Amphibious assault Ships Russia recently ordered a batch of new attack helicopters,
including 32 that could go onto a new amphibious assault ship. There's just one hitch: France is building that ship,
and following Russia's invasion of Crimea and support for Donetsk separatists in Eastern Ukraine, there's a lot of international pressure for France to cancel the order.
The contract with French shipbuilders specified two Mistral class ships built in France, and then two more built in Russia.
They'll be the first amphibious assault ships for Russia. It's likely each of the four ships would only fly eight attack helicopters so the full order for 32 indicates that Russia expects full delivery of the ships.
The first completed vessel is the Vladivostok, and France is set to deliver it late this year.
Presently, the Mistral-class ships wouldn't let Russia do all that much more in the wars it's most likely to fight,
and Japan have expressed all disappointment that France still plans to sell the ships. In a barely subtle move

while the ship is in operation it could significantly reduce dry-dock time. The Ship Inspection Robot (SIR) which was developed in conjunction with Alstom Inspection Robotics and
which uses magnetic wheels to navigate the I-beams and other awkward obstacles found inside ship ballast is relatively compact
and does not require any cables for power or communication and thus offers significant mobility improvements over other robotic ship inspection prototypes.

Ship owners must pay for every day in dry-dock (16k to 25k per day) and in addition they face loss of income
Alstom Inspection Robotics proposed a project that would result in a lightweight low-cost robot for inspecting ships
In order to research the state-of-the-art of the ship inspection process we went to a shipyard in Rotterdam to interview ship owners inspectors
As part of a round-the-year continuous inspection the ship owner decides to use a four-day cruise to inspect part of the ballast tank.
The next time a ship is due for inspection the damage map is checked and necessary equipment and material are ordered before the ship even enters the dry dock.
 Once in dry dock the ship is vented and known repairs begin without delay at the same time as small
or complexly shaped areas (like the bow) are inspected manually. A full inspection is shifted to the end of the drydocking:
The prototypethe focus project resulted in a prototype for a relatively small cable-less robotic ship inspection system that we call the Ship Inspection Robot (SIR.
How it works SIR features four overlapping magnetic wheels which allow the unit to maintain continual contact with the ship#surface even as it navigates sharp angles vertical surfaces and overhangs.
The ability to climb all these additional obstacles is not only beneficial for ship inspection but also useful for many other robot applications such as power plant inspections.
