Electric powered Shipping!

 Underway?

Norway is leading the way in electric engine power for vehicle  roll on/off ferries and smaller shipping from Rhine type barges to coasters and there is a demand that other vessels in the oil industry and up-lifting vessels along with cruise liners are the next in line for these conversions.

There are many concerns in relation to breaking down in rough seas and drifting on to rocks, if not colliding with other vessels, but so far many vessels will still have their tradition fossil fuel burning engines as back-up?

The future does look bright and with the advancement in theology and the options of already entering hydrogen powered vessels conversions and new ship design can only make things better to cut the horrid carbon emissions world wide!

Moving into Electric?

Cars, planes and Boats!

Norway has become a leader in this new conception, while many who started the trend such as Tesla are going out with financial costs running to high. Many countries claim to have something to develop in the area, but it will be some time before we see a real all electric powered vehicle, rather than a battery operated one?

Battery is not bad but the technology for it has not changed much in the last one hundred years so apart from solar and alternative energies we will just have to wait and see is there really any alternative to fossil fuels even in the near future!

We do not get to hear to much of what is going on in the developing world when it come to this type of technology and what breakthroughs that they have made with alternatives to fossil extraction fuels!

Movable Drilling Platforms. One.

Pioneer Spirit.

This is a new kid on the block that has come to help in the development of oil and gas drilling, while it is also capable of them constructing a rig if that area is profitable? This ability cuts out the need to waste time and money building rigs, that may have no value!

Most rigs today can be towed around the world in good weathers, but this is a self contained everything and thus the days of building on shore may be soon coming to an end?

The company who built this first one is planning a second in S-Korea for 2023 and it may not be the last, with the opening up of the Artic ice sheet Russia, the U.S. and Canada with Norway will want their own ships to do similar work!

Oil Rigs.

New Frontiers.

Recently we saw 'Green Peace activists try to scale a new Russian oil rig in the Artic sea. This is the beginning of new frontier for the oil industry globally, as the ice seas warms up for the fist time in 600 years.

This is nothing new, as the global hoaxers would want you to believe. With new technology man will be enabled to exploit the resources in Alaska, Canada, Danish Greenland, Norway and Russia.

When we come to think about the oil rig at sea, it is quite a feat of engineering achievement for a towed vessel. Much has been gleaned as to its design and its history in development, from the various disasters over the years in the North-sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The rig must contain everything from drilling equipment to living accommodation and its own power plant, perhaps now it will also have support rigs for hospital and storage etc.

The winters will continue to freeze over, but the summers will have less ice for at least two hundred years.
