The Largest Wreck Removal In January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground and overturned off the coast of Tuscany in the Mediterranean Sea. The ...
The Glomar Explorer, a custom-built spy ship fitted with a series of mechanical systems one more impressive than the next, in 1968 sailed to a remote spot in the central Pacific Ocean to recover a sunken Soviet submarine, the K-129, fitted with atomic missiles from three miles below the surface.
Yara Birkeland container ship will be the first fully autonomous, electric-propelled, zero-emission vessel. Photo: Mark Kane, Yara. The port of Rotterdam is Europe’s busiest, with almost 30,000 seagoing vessels and 107,000 inland vessels plying its waters annually. One of those vessels—one of the smallest—now stands out as the port’s ...
Perhaps the most exciting advancement is the development of autonomous gateways and docks for the exchange of data, a big step toward building resident autonomous systems on the seafloor, in water as deep as 3,000 meters to 4,000 meters. A seafloor resident ROV or AUV system would remain on the seafloor and be controlled from a shore base.
