IMarEST investigating 'Green Ship Technologies' in Asia

Despite ships being by far the most efficient form of transport, there is growing concern about climate change, the environmental state of the world's oceans and the air quality close to major shipping routes and ports which has led to ever more stringent legislation on emissions to both sea and air. As such, the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) together with the UK Science & Innovation Network (SIN) Southeast Asia are seeking opinions to investigate 'Green Ship Technologies' within Asia. To assist with this, all those involved in the shipping industry are invited to complete a survey accessed by clicking here. The survey should take no longer than three minutes to complete, and is aimed at gauging views on the "Green Agenda" from across the maritime sector. "The 'Green Agenda' attempts to address environmental issues by introducing ship designs, equipment, products and operating procedures that reduce harmful emissions, but these measures often come at a cost to ship owners, operators and ultimately the end users of the goods carried by sea. However, there are also financial incentives introduced by Administrations, such as Singapore, to encourage a positive environmental response" says Dr Bev MacKenzie, Technical and Policy Director ...

LR Energy issues ‘Oil and Gas Technology Radar’ study

The study finds that future innovation to be driven by collaboration Lloyd's Register Energy has released its findings from a major oil and gas survey conducted to assess the impact of innovation and investment by operators in America, Europe and Asia.The Technology Radar survey, launched at the start of the year, takes the pulse of technical innovation in the sector and looks ahead to the future investment drivers.The survey revealed the investment drives to be:Safety improvements (45%)Improving operational efficiency (44%)Reducing costs (43%)Accessing new reserves (29%)Increasing asset lifespan (27%)Lead participants in the survey include commentary from UK Onshore Operations Group, Woodside Energy, Enertech, Maersk Drilling, TouGas Oilfield Solutions, Horton Wison Deepwater, Royal Dutch Shell, GE Oil & Gas, and also Douglas-Westwood, National Energy Technology Laboratory (US), and the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.The Technology Radar survey is one of the largest polls on the issue of technology and innovation in the oil and gas industry. It takes in to account respondent's opinions and their business strategies in the near term (before 2020); the medium term (the years before and after 2020); and the longer term (from 2025 and beyond).Technology Radar survey is based on five research questions:Which technologies are ...
