Zero eliminates diesel engines entirely, replacing them with an all-electric power and propulsion system with a DC grid at its core, and photovoltaic-thermal panels that capture the light and heat of solar energy.
"The nuclear power technology that is most common - light water reactors - was originally invented for nuclear submarines. There has actually always been a history of basically pre-fabbing it and looking at it in a shipyard context."
Dewar, Watts and Fish's invention has the potential to make an impact on worldwide energy consumption, particularly as we increasingly rely on green technology. Their work shows how nature can serve as a source of inspiration and innovation and how following this inspiration might lead to refreshing and unconventional technological advances.
The A100 concept reduces the width of side decks, allowing the main deck to stretch nearly the full beam of the yacht, creating significantly larger interior spaces than typically found on sailing yachts of comparable size.
"Together we will integrate physical AI into manned and unmanned shipbuilding and further accelerate the industrial revitalization already underway," Eric Chewning stated.
AIDA's approach to IT infrastructure prioritizes availability through redundancy, with each vessel operating two physically separated data centers in different fire zones to ensure critical services remain operational.
To be able to take a ship from new construction and watch it be built together by the ship yard, train with our team and bring into Boston Harbor for the first time, it's very amazing. I looked at the history books. I don't think we've had a submarine in Boston Harbor since sometime in the late '80s or early '90s.
"This is absolutely a rare window for young workers because the demand is real, funded, and seemingly long-term," Fraser Patterson, CEO of Skillit, stated. "These are not speculative jobs. They are tied to multi-decade investment cycles, and they offer a path to strong earnings, skill development, and stability without requiring a traditional four-year degree."
Victoria and Richard bought the Yankee in 2001, not long after losing their namesake brand in bankruptcy proceedings. The couple needed studio space (they eventually started another company in 2004), but, apparently, Manhattan was largely out of reach on their budget. And so they looked to the "fringes" of the island, as MacKenzie-Childs put it in an interview last year.
The Titanic was one of a trio of similar White Star Line ships completed in the early nineteen-tens. In the video above, Bill Hammack, known on YouTube as Engineerguy, tells the story of not just the Titanic, but also the Olympic and the HMHS Britannic. An engineering professor at the University of Illinois, he found in the campus library issues of the journal The Engineer published between 1909 and 1911 that contain detailed photographs of the construction of both the Titanic and Olympic, sister ships that were built side-by-side.
ALABAMA - THE HISTORIC S.S. UNITED States ocean liner, currently undergoing environmental remediation work in Mobile, Alabama ahead of its planned sinking and conversion to an artificial reef off of Florida's coast, was this week given a tentative April departure date from that port for its final destination, Fox 10 WALA reports . The new timeline has lit a fire under the New York Coalition to Save the S.S. United States, the preservation group battling to save the ship .
RED HOOK - A SPECIAL EXHIBITION - "Brooklyn Marine Terminal: Past, Present, & What's Next for Red Hook?" - will hold its opening Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Compere Collective, 351 Van Brunt St. in Red Hook. The display, hosted by Resilient Red Hook in collaboration with Pratt Institute's School of Architecture, features student work that explores alternative visions for the BMT, bringing academic insight, community priorities and design innovation together.
Counting Ships is a photography series by Pierfrancesco Celada that examines proximity, movement, and scale within a maritime landscape. The project captures a busy ferry route connecting an island to one of the most densely populated regions nearby. The crossing takes approximately 25 minutes and passes through one of the world's most active maritime trade corridors, where more than two hundred cargo ships transit daily.
The plans would affect an area known as Royal Victoria Dock West, which is the end closest to London City Hall and the Cable Car. If carried out, the two biggest changes will be a range of floating walkways reaching into the dock, lined with water plants. The other change will be the introduction of walkways on the south side of the dock for long-term residential boat moorings.
The USS John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier is setting sail for a new test at sea, specifically its shipbuilder sea trials. It marks a major milestone for the US Navy's next supercarrier. The trials will be overseen by top shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries, allowing for evaluations of the vessel before it's delivered to the Navy. Though the ship has gone through river-based propulsion testing, these trials are when the new warship leaves the yard and proves that it actually works at sea.
In 1916, subway construction near Greenwich and Dey Streets in Lower Manhattan unearthed a surprising relic. Some 20 feet underground, workers turned up charred timber; digging further, the contours of an ancient ship came into view-its prow, keel, and ribs. The wreck was later deemed to be the Tyger, a 17th-century vessel that represents a rare archaeological trace of early Dutch exploration in Manhattan.
For decades, the LEGO Group has demonstrated an unusual ability to translate real-world engineering into tactile storytelling. From architectural landmarks to Technic supercars, its most compelling releases are often those rooted in authentic industrial design. The new LEGO 40955 Maersk Dual-Fuel Container Vessel follows that same philosophy, drawing inspiration from one of the most significant advances in modern maritime transport.
Studio Millspace Text description provided by the architects. Throughout eight months of design and on-site work, we realized that what truly matters is not the completeness of drawings, but the intuition shaped by being present. Around 70% of the layout was defined early on, while the remaining 30% was deliberately left without a set functionallowing light, behaviors, and moods to participate in forming the space.
The US Navy is betting on 3D printing parts to speed up work on the fleet while also cutting costs after two wins last year, the service said recently. A Naval Sea Systems Command release said that additive manufacturing moved "from a promising capability to a warfighting capability in 2025." Two examples the Navy said were among the service's most significant achievements last year involved putting 3D-printed parts on its most in-demand and complex vessels.
Most storage furniture sits where you put it, fixed shelves and cabinets that do their job but rarely respond to how space changes during a day. Trolleys help with mobility, but they often feel generic, more utility than character. Harbor 051 is a storage trolley that borrows its logic from a place built entirely around movement and stacking, Busan Port, where containers shift and cranes swing in a constant choreography.
