“For centuries, sea mines have presented an affordable and effective option in naval warfare. That threat is increasing today. The number of countries with mines, mining assets, mine manufacturing capabilities, and the intention to export mines has grown dramatically over the past several decades.”   Great article by Captain George Galdorisi, U.S. Navy (Ret.) featured in The Maritime Executive this week. It details the threat of sea mines and some of the technology, like our KATFISH towed sonar system, that can help navies with their mine countermeasure operations.   Learn more about KATFISH, which is used by navies around the world: https://lnkd.in/enCB5_rk

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 Today, it’s #WorldMaritimeDay. This year’s theme “𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦: 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵!” highlights safety in its broadest sense. As Nevesbu we want to take a moment to reflect on the vital role the maritime industry plays in ensuring safety worldwide. The submarines and naval vessels we design play an important role in this. They are deployed for critical missions, from gathering intelligence undercover to tracking down enemies and combating piracy. The technology behind these vessels is highly advanced. Additionally, they must meet extremely stringent requirements, making the design of submarines and naval vessels a complex puzzle—one Nevesbu has been solving with great enthusiasm since 1935. The image below shows the principal characteristics of the first submarines we designed: the Sep and Orzel. Following this design, Nevesbu worked on the designs of many other submarines. We contributed to the design of all Dutch submarines and those of various navies across different continents. And we also worked on numerous naval vessels for various navies worldwide. Today, on World Maritime Day, we are especially proud that for nearly 90 years, we have been contributing to safety at and from sea by providing advanced naval architecture services. #nevesbu #navalarchitecture #marineengineering #submarineengineering #navalvesselengineering

This afternoon I spent 3 hours with my doctoral student Rafik going over his DBA dissertation. He is researching on the CSFs of Naval Shipbuilding and the challenges as well. Rafik will be submitting his dissertation very soon. All the best to you Rafik.💪👏 May Allah ease. #theendofajourney #DBAPhD #dissertationthesis #megaproject #shipbuilding #projectsuccess #criticalsuccessfactors #challenges #frameworkforsuccessfulproject

It was an interesting process 3D scanning this life-sized figurehead! Check out the link in the original post for more.

The technological evolution of marine 🚢 turbochargers has been a crucial component in the development and improvement of engines ⚙ used in the naval industry. Here is a brief history of that evolution ⬇ #turbochargers #maritime #techonology

400 years ago, a groundbreaking moment reshaped the course of naval innovation and exploration. What began as an idea, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible, would go on to influence one of the most important technologies in maritime history. A crowd of 3,000, including royalty, gathered to witness something that had never been seen before—an invention that would change naval engineering and propel future advancements in marine technology. This demonstration, though primitive by today's standards, was the seed of an idea that continues to impact how we explore and protect our oceans. Let’s take a look back at the story of Drebbel’s invention and how it shaped the future of underwater exploration and naval warfare. How do you think innovations like these influence modern military and scientific developments? #SubmarineHistory #Innovation #MaritimeTechnology #Engineering #History #IP

To have your thesis put into reality is such a great achievement and to have the support of the Company you did the thesis with says a lot about a company and the trust they have in their employees. A great step forward towards Net Zero.

📢 Global Offshore News 🗺 🚢 COTECMAR and Damen Sign Landmark Contract for Colombian Navy Frigate! This historic contract was for constructing the Colombian Navy's first locally built frigate. This project, carried out in Cartagena, Colombia, marks a major milestone for the nation’s naval capabilities and its maritime industry. ◾First-of-its-Kind in Colombia: The frigate, based on Damen's SIGMA 10514 model, is the first to be built in Colombia, signifying a leap forward in the country's defense manufacturing capabilities. ◾Significant Economic Impact: The construction will boost local employment and technological development, enhancing the Colombian maritime industry and the national economy. ◾Strategic Dimensions: The vessel will measure 107.5 meters in length and 14.02 meters in beam, showcasing Colombia's growing ability to build complex naval vessels. ◾Latin American Leadership: With this project, Colombia joins Mexico and Brazil as one of the few Latin American countries capable of constructing such sophisticated naval ships domestically.
