China's shipbuilding industry saw new vessel orders surge 49.5 percent year-on-year in the first five months of 2023, official data showed.
New orders, a major indicator of the shipbuilding industry, stood at 26.45 million deadweight tons (DWT) during the five-month period, with a global market share of 67.3 percent, according to statistics released by Beijing-based China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry.
The naval architecture sector is once again highlighted on Baird Maritime. This week’s lineup of vessels covers newbuilds of a variety of sizes, from large Ro-Ros to small boats powered by electric propulsion, thus indicating the scope of the sector’s capabilities.
As this week also focuses on the marine research and training sectors, the lineup also includes a research vessel, training vessels, and survey boats. Most use traditional monohull designs while one is catamaran for greater stability necessary for extended research missions offshore.

Como ex oficial de cubierta de la marina mercante, que abandonó el mar después de siete años, estudió arquitectura naval y luego dirigió un estudio de diseño de barcos durante cinco décadas, me pidieron que comentara sobre el nuevo diseño del portacontenedores de Samsung, en particular la timonera y el alojamiento de la tripulación. posición, en respuesta a una columna reciente sobre el diseño de barcos .
En mis años de marinero recuerdo vívidamente dos incidentes en los que estuve a punto de perder la vida, cosas que no se leen en los libros de arquitectura naval. A los 19 años, como cadete senior en un barco que iba de Nauru a Geelong, quedamos atrapados en el
A partnership led by Norwegian energy company Equinor has commenced development of a platform supply vessel (PSV) powered by batteries to ensure emission-free operations, particularly in the North Sea.
Under the Plug-In Electric Zero-Emission Offshore-Ship (PIEZO) project, Norwegian shipbuilder Vard has developed a concept design for a PSV that will use batteries as the primary energy source and that will be capable of offshore charging. Other partners on the project include Norwegian private research organisation SINTEF, the Research Council of Norway, battery manufacturer Corvus Energy, and vessel operator Solstad Offshore.
The goal is to introduce an 82-metre-long PSV that will operate almost entirely on batteries while transporting cargo to offshore production facilities off the coast
