This year's winner is called Skandi Africa, and it is an offshore construction vessel owned by DOF and designed by VARD. The vessel was designed for offshore installation...
Trondheim will host the world’s biggest ever conference on greenhouse gas control technologies. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and SINTEF are organising the conference on behalf of the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme (IEA-GHG). Leading world experts...
University of Science and Technology (NTNU) are testing a model “whale tail” that can be attached to ships. NTNU is conducting these tests in the Marintek Towing Tank in cooperation with Rolls-Royce and the British companies Seaspeed and MOST.

A CAD model is a set of elementary surfaces such as planes, cylinders, cones and torii, and NURBS surfaces. Many of the surfaces will be trimmed causing gaps and overlaps between the...
Both Helicopter and vessel application of dispersants are considered to have a significant potential in ice-covered waters. Through an evaluation of the different dispersant spray systems and platforms it has been recommended to focus the further work within this task on vessel as application. The In...
