#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

#Whale fall | Decomposing body of marine mammal fallen to sea floor

#Geospatial AI | Collection problem largely solved with point clouds and oriented images | Challenge to deciding which points are ground and which are vegetation, finding kerb line, checking whether survey actually met tolerance, and turning all of it into something designers or asset managers can use | Gap is where geospatial AI is being applied, and it is quietly changing what mapping technology means in practice | Machine learning models are trained to recognise patterns in spatial data: classifying a point cloud, extracting features from imagery, flagging measurements that look wrong | Separating ground from vegetation, buildings, poles and wires | Road markings, kerbs, signs, manholes and facade lines can be identified in imagery or point clouds and turned into vectors | Quality control | Volume calculation | Reality capture, practice of recording whole scene rather than chosen set of points, has become normal work rather than specialist service | CHC Navigation integrated hardware and software workflows across GNSS, IMU, vision and LiDAR are designed so that positioning, imagery and point clouds arrive already aligned and time-stamped, which is condition any automated interpretation depends on | Classification model can tell that a set of points is a kerb but it cannot tell you where that kerb is | Position comes from GNSS, from inertial measurement, and from way those are fused into 5trajectory, and any error there propagates through everything the model produces afterwards | Accuracy questions have not gone away: Multipath in urban canyon, short GNSS interruption under bridge, correction service that drops for thirty seconds: each one puts a small distortion into trajectory | Automated classification that comes with confidence measure, and clear way to see which areas model was unsure about
