The Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) is conducting a Navy ManTech project that will develop the first U.S. manufacturer of vacuum-jacketed cryostats in lengths of up to 100 meters.

Since we started covering the subject of shipbuilding in early 2005 (see Reality Check – 3 years on dated 18...

A conditioning station (4) for naval applications, comprising at least one conditioning unit (8) suitable to produce a flow of conditioned air inside the related vessel. Advantageously the conditioning station (4) comprising at least one supporting frame (16) for the conditioning unit (8) and related accessories, which is mechanically separate from the frame of the vessel (20).

A marine keyless engine control system (10) for a marine vessel, the system (10) comprising a controller (30) adapted to control an engine, a fingerprint sensor (15) adapted to recognise authorised fingerprints and to send a finger authorisation signal to the controller (30). The system (10) includes a wireless receiver (35) in communication with the controller (30), a wireless transmitter (100) adapted to send a remote authorisation signal to the wireless receiver (35), the wireless receiver (35) being adapted to forward the remote authorisation signal to the controller (30).

A ship powered by an internal combustion engine (1) and an electric motor (2) connected to a propeller (3) powered by surplus electric power obtained by a thermal discharge recovery system has a controller including a feedback control section for controlling a base amount of fuel injected to the internal combustion engine (1) based on the difference between the target number of rotation of the propeller given by the operator and the real number of rotation, and a feed-forward control section having a means (25) for calculating an overall power output and a means (26) for calculating a correcti

Disclosed is a control device for a waste heat recovery system which enables improvement in the responsiveness of the output control for a power turbine and a steam turbine with respect to sudden changes in the inboard load.

Disclosed are a control method and a control device for an exhaust heat recovery system which are capable of preventing an onboard power outage in response to a sharp change in the load of the main drive machine.

The present invention relates to a system for supplying electric power from an AC power source (AC-PS-1) to ships, each of the ship moored at a respective berth (A, B, C, D) of a quay, said system comprising a rectifier (5), having an AC and a DC side, for converting AC electric power from the AC power source to a DC power, the AC side arranged to be connected to the AC power source, and a plurality of ship connection arrangements for supplying electric power to a respective ship, each of the ship connection arrangements placed at one of the berths and comprising an inverter (11, 12, 13, 14) c

It is presented a system for supplying electric power from a main power grid to a plurality of ships moored at a respective berth of a quay.

The Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) is leading a ManTech project to improve manufacturing of a key component on the Lockheed Martin Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).
