As a result, a number of offshore wind port facilities have been built in areas with a high concentration of offshore wind developments. [1] For large offshore wind farm projects, some offshore wind ports have become strategic hubs of the industry's supply chain. [2] The Port of Esbjerg in Denmark is considered the world's largest offshore wind ...
For many sailing craft 45° on either side of the wind is a no-go zone, where a sail is unable to mobilize power from the wind. Sailing on a course as close to the wind as possible—approximately 45°—is termed beating, a point of sail when the sails are close-hauled. At 90° off the wind, a craft is on a beam reach.
The oldest sailing directions, dating back to the middle ages, descended directly from the Greek and Roman periplii: in classical times, in the absence of real nautical charts, navigation was carried out using books that described the coast, not necessarily intended for navigation, but more often consisting of reports of previous voyages, or celebrations of the deeds of leaders or rulers.

[ 2 ] [ 1 ] She is powered by a Winterthur Gas & Diesel model X92 low speed diesel engine, with a power output up to 73,560 kilowatts (98,650 hp) that can propel her at up to 22 knots (25 mph or 40 ...
The front cover of Distances Between Ports. Distances Between Ports (PUB 151) is a publication that lists the distances between major ports. Reciprocal distances between two ports may differ due to the different routes of currents and climatic conditions chosen.
Vineyard Wind 1 is an offshore wind farm under construction in U.S. federal waters in the Atlantic Ocean in Bureau of Ocean Energy Management-designated Lease Area OCS-A 0520, about 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi) south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts.
The first ship, CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, named after the founder of CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, was launched in September 2019. [2] The first ship was originally expected to be delivered in November 2019, [ 1 ] but it was delivered on 22 September 2020 [ 3 ] after a delay of at least 10 months by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
The average vessel size for U.S. port calls as of 2015 is less than 6000 TEU. However recently in 2016, container ships sizing from 12,000-14,000 TEU have been calling to U.S. ports in California. Notably, the CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin is the largest vessel to ever call to a U.S port. The Federal Maritime Commission has recognized the trend in ...
