Ships in anchoring or DP mode makes the news!
All these, by the media overblown, maritime "unprecedented" actions are simply put, just power projections. After reading countless articles and having a deep background in the maritime domain, I've yet to find a single…
Yeah a classic keel is not needed for bigger vessels as long as GM is low enough. One big difference between sail ships and modern ones is the increased air draft which effects the lift to drag ratio. Looking at your…
Sounds like step further indeed. Considering all the equipment and ideas raised so far, would be amazing to have a look at how you would arrange all this inside the oversized container. Must be quite an intricate puzzle…
To calculate roll effects of your equipment while under pressure, I would try to make the bench model a digital twin in a stability software like NAPA.
Sails can be deployed without conventional rigging. I have experience of these so called free standing rigs myself. Dynaspar rigs is one real life example.
Master Mariner here with bridge experience from sail assisted vessels both conventional and through magnus effect equipment. Also a lifelong sailing competitor. Have you considered the effect your design has on the…
I would assume the same way reefer containers are, hooked up to the ships onboard power distribution. Electrically rigged sail of this magnitude does not impose any significant loads on the grid onboard
