#Atlantic Ocean Applications Meta

#Atlantic Ocean | The second-largest ocean, | Covering ca. 85.1 million dwuare km (32.9 million square miles) | Constitutes ca. 17% of earth surface | Max depth 8,380 meters (27,490 feet) in Puerto Rico Trench | Separates Americas from Europe and Africa | Gulf Stream | Mid-Atlantic Ridge

#Undersea cable | Designed with multiple protective layers | Armor layers | Repeaters | Amplifiers | Monitoring Systems

#Undersea cable repair ship | Fixing damaged submarine cables | Equipped with grappling systems to retrieve cables | Using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for precision in deeper waters | Linear Cable Engines (LCE) for efficient cable handling | Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) | Murray Loop | Hydrophone | Underwater discharge method

#Submarine internet cable | Fiber-optic cable | Backbone of global internet connectivity | Vulnerable | Repairing involves specialized ships and equipment

#Transatlantic telecommunications cables| Carrying over 95% of international data | Increasingly funded by major tech companies

#Nuvem cable | Connecting South Carolina to Portugal | Google

#Amitie cable | Meta Platforms | Microsoft | Aqua Comms

#Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) | One nautical mile in radius | Hub of biodiversity | Made up of organisms especially vulnerable to bottom-fishing gear | Refuge for life forms stressed by rapidly warming ocean

#FuelEU Maritime Regulation | Non-Compliance Penalties: Companies exceeding GHG intensity limits face penalties of €2,400 per metric ton of excess fuel consumption | Passenger and RoPax vessels face the highest average penalties (520,000€ and 480,000€ per vessel annually) | Container ships face average 214,000€ penalties

#Green Shipping Corridors

#Joint Expeditionary Force | Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden and UK as Framework Nation | Estlink-2 power cable incident | 22 areas of interest – including parts of the English Channel, North Sea, Kattegat, and Baltic Sea

#HSwMS Belos (A214) | Swedish Navy submarine rescue ship | Originally built as a diving support vessel | Equipped with advanced systems for submarine rescue, underwater work, and deep-sea diving | Includes submarine rescue vehicle and decompression chambers | Belos assisted Finnish authorities by recovering Eagle S anchor from the Gulf of Finland, suspected of damaging undersea cables

#Sea levels rise | As water absorbs heat, its molecules move faster and spread apart, causing water to expand and occupy more volume | Phenomenon accounts for a significant portion of global sea level rise, alongside contributions from melting glaciers and ice sheets

#Global ocean warming

#Rising ocean heat content | Profound impacts on almost every aspect of the ocean, from physical processes, to biogeochemical balances, to marine biodiversity and ecosystems

#Earth energy imbalance | Grew by 0.29 watts per square metre per decade between 1993-2022 | Earth is out of energy balance | Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are trapping excess heat and preventing it from being released into space | Heat building-up of heat in the Earth climate system | Most of building-up is absorbed by ocean

#Ocean surface heat | Satellite measurements of gravity and surface height | Space geodesy | Accurate, long term and broad estimates of changes in amount of heat stored in ocean

#Equipping yachts to aid in research | Y.CO | Full service Luxury Yacht Company | Bringing together a dynamic and ever-evolving network of crews, captains, yards, clients, and thought leaders to keep excellence in yachting moving forward | Managing over 100 large yacht operations, from traditional operations to private fleets, special purpose yachts, exploration vessels and regatta racing teams | Yacht Charter | Luxury yachts | Crafting experiences | Waterdports experiences | Bringing on board specialist instructors | Moonen partnership | Moonen Martinique deal

#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
