Ship Repair
All ships need maintenance and repairs. Many repair and maintanance operations can be performed at sea or by the crew in port. Complicated or large-scale repairs might require the ship to be removed from commercial operation. Classification Society supervision is required for most large-scale repairs, particularly those carried out in a ship repair yard. For oceangoing ships, particularly tankers, the ship has to be prepared for repair at a Deballasting Station. The tank must be thoroughly cleaned and its slops (grey water and hydrocarbon residues) must be pumped ashore according to environmental regulations.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is rapidly gaining traction in the shipbuilding industry. This innovative technology allows for the creation of complex components and structures by adding material layer by layer, rather than subtracting it from a larger block. As the maritime sector seeks to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve sustainability, 3D printing is emerging as a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize shipbuilding and repair processes.
Modern pipelines are installed with and other control devices (pumps and valves) to efficiently move liquids, gases, slurries (solid particulates in liquid suspension) and even solids. Pipelines usually consist of welded sections of metal pipe…
The maritime industry is undergoing a significant transformation as it seeks to reduce its environmental impact and comply with increasingly stringent regulations on emissions. One of the most promising avenues for achieving these goals is the adoption of alternative fuels in marine propulsion systems. These fuels, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), biofuels, hydrogen, and ammonia, offer various benefits and challenges that are reshaping the future of marine propulsion. This article provides a technical overview of the key alternative fuels currently being explored and their implications for the maritime industry.
