Wärtsilä, EBDG join forces on methanol-fueled power barge Finnish technology group Wärtsilä has entered into a collaboration agreement with US-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) to further develop EBDG’s clean harbor alternative mobile power (CHAMP) barge design. The floating mobile power platform has been designed to function in ports across the US in accordance with the specific zero-emission plans and requirements established by local authorities and regulations. When delivered, CHAMP will use methanol-fuelled power generated by the Wärtsilä 32 Methanol engine. This engine helps reduce emissions, thus meeting the decarbonization requirements of most ports, according to the Finnish firm. Furthermore, the engine will be complemented by Wärtsilä’s complete methanol fuel handling system, Wärtsilä MethanolPac, as well as its emission after-treatment system, Wärtsilä NOx Reducer. https://bit.ly/4a27ji0 #methanol #alternativefuel #renewable #cleanfuel #futurefuel #energytransition #sustainable

The 4th of March marks World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, a day of significance for me beyond my role as a naval architect and programme director at Water Revolution Foundation. It reflects my profound belief in the integration of sustainable development principles into engineering practices and mindset. 🌍 The environmental performance of every engineering solution, and indeed, the broader spectrum of human activity, is pivotal for our transcendence as a species. Without embracing sustainable development, we risk self-destruction. By prioritizing sustainability, we chart a course towards a future where both present and future generations can thrive on Earth. 🌱 #sustainability #engineering #development

UBC Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering recently held a discussion on sustainability in the shipping sector with guest speaker Peter Jackson, Senior Vice President of Assets and Technology at Seaspan. Seaspan, a leading Canadian maritime company, is steadfast in its mission to meet carbon emission targets and achieve NetZero by 2050. This commitment to sustainability was the core of the conversation between Mr. Jackson and Dr. Justin Bull, the MEL and MHLP Program Director. Mr. Jackson emphasized the pivotal role of innovative minds, particularly those of MEL students, in reaching these ambitious targets. The maritime sector is on the brink of a transformation, and the innovative ideas from our students are the driving force behind this change. Dr. Bull underscored the inherent uncertainty of relying on future innovations in fuels and technology to reach these targets. However, he also highlighted that this challenge represents an incredible opportunity for breakthroughs that could revolutionize the industry. Tackling climate change is no small feat, especially for the maritime industry. Dr. Bull acknowledged the stark reality of the situation - there are no easy solutions to climate issues. But he also stressed that the net-zero goal impacts every aspect of the industry, from shipbuilding to dismantling, offering numerous opportunities for change and improvement. #Seaspan #UBCMEL #MasterOfEngineeringLeadership #NavalArchitectureandMarineEngineering #NetZero #marineengineering #navalengineering #engineeringleadership #engineeringleaders #exploreMEL

Historic marine engineering facts Historic marine engineering has been instrumental in shaping the course of human history. Here are some noteworthy historic facts related to marine engineering: - Shipbuilding has ancient origins, with evidence of wooden boats dating back to 3500 BC found in Egypt. Ancient civilizations, such as the Phoenicians and Greeks, made significant advancements in ship design and construction. - In the 3rd century BC, the Greek mathematician Archimedes is credited with inventing the Archimedes' screw, a device used to pump water out of ships and mines. This engineering innovation greatly improved the efficiency of water removal from vessels. - The ancient Greeks and Romans developed advanced naval technologies, including warships with various mechanisms and innovations like the corvus, a boarding device used in naval warfare. - Triremes were ancient Greek and Roman warships known for their speed and maneuverability. They featured a row of oars on each side and were a testament to ancient naval engineering expertise. - The construction of the Suez Canal in the 19th century was a monumental engineering achievement. It involved the excavation of a 101-mile waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, greatly reducing travel times between Europe and Asia. - The RMS Titanic, constructed in the early 20th century, was considered one of the most luxurious and advanced ships of its time, but its tragic sinking in 1912 highlighted the importance of safety and engineering standards in ship design. These historic milestones in marine engineering demonstrate the ongoing quest for innovation and the profound impact of engineering on naval and maritime endeavors throughout history. #alfatest #alfatstTI #marineengineeringfacts #marineengineering 

Today, we are showcasing a newer engineer with the EEI team, Kayley Jefferson. Kayley is part of the civil department located in Alaska and has been with the company for almost 2 months. 1. Why did you become an engineer? "I’ve always been intrigued and enjoyed seeing structures being built around me and seeing areas develop more, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of." 2. What was the most memorable project you have worked on? "The most memorable project I have worked on so far was in college designing tiny homes to be mass produced for easy assembly by volunteers for setting up communities of affordable housing. It was a project that had a lot of significance for Vermont and the unhoused population." 3. What is your favorite thing about working at EEI? "How nice and welcoming everyone is, everyone is always happy to help. It makes work an enjoyable environment!" 4. If you could work on a project anywhere in the world, where would it be? "Either Norway or Greece."
