Scylla AG’s Post

Ever wondered if a container ship could carry iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty? The surprising answer is yes! Thanks to their enormous size and weight capacity, these ships could theoretically transport even colossal structures. While it might not be the most practical idea, the thought of these ships hauling famous landmarks is fascinating. 🚢🗽 #ShippingWonders #ContainerShip #kcelogistics #logistics #logisticsusa #logisticsmiami #insidekce #gettoknowus #safety #efficiency #logisticsservice

The ship’s new role as a diving and fishing attraction could generate millions of dollars annually for the local tourism industry. Scuba shops, charter boats, hotels, and other businesses are likely to see a surge in visitors eager to explore the historic liner in its underwater home. Beyond its economic potential, the ship’s conversion into a reef will create a haven for marine life. Artificial reefs provide shelter and breeding grounds for a variety of species, boosting biodiversity and improving the overall health of marine ecosystems. Once submerged, the ship will be contributing to the area’s existing network of more than 500 artificial reefs. https://lnkd.in/gxxVaY2E

Will the Ulstein X-Bow become the new standard in Expedition Cruising? It will be interesting to see how many other expedition companies follow Aurora’s lead. The unique X-Bow design found on the newest expedition vessels is part of a long evolution of bow and hull design in cruising. The X-Bow was first introduced by Aurora Expeditions with the launch of the Greg Mortimer in 2019. The strangely tapered upside down shape is a departure from the tapered bows and U-shaped hulls found on most cruise ships, or the V shaped hull of Cunard’s iconic QM2. The X-Bow deign has the effect of slicing through the water, piercing the waves, rather than riding on top of them. This results in greatly reducing the pitching motion you find with a V shaped hull, which allows for more stability in rough seas such as you would find in the notorious Drake Passage. I will be following this with interest. #auroraexpeditions #gregmortimer #douglasmawson #xbow #ulsteinxbow #expedition #cruising

Do you have any idea what is happening in this mesmerizing snapshot? ✨ Witness our “Santos Express” practicing a Williamson Turn in the North Atlantic Ocean! This nautical maneuver is employed to precisely retrace a vessel's path, commonly used in person-overboard scenarios. The versatility of this maneuver is its key advantage; it can be smoothly executed in any visibility or weather conditions. 🌦️⚓ 📸: @still_at_sea2022 #hapaglloyd #port #maritime #lifeatsea #shipping #logistics

The evolution of lifeboats has greatly improved since the tragic incident of the Titanic's collision with an iceberg four days into her maiden journey, sailing from Southampton in England to New York in the United States of America on April 14, 1912. One of the findings was that there were insufficient lifeboats to accommodate the 2220 passengers, as well as the design of the lifeboat. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) responded by convening the 1914 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). This groundbreaking agreement set the groundwork for modern maritime safety, including the design, construction, and capacity of lifeboats https://lnkd.in/d63x7Hvg

More learning on vacation and tying it to #businesscontinuity! Is it wise to be on a cruise and visit the cemetery of Titanic victims? #businessresilience #businessgrowth #smallbusiness #businessowner #titanic

The Titanic sinking is a great example of ambitious assumptions, cutting corners, and lack of training...all things #businesscontinuity tries to save you from. The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable. The White Star Line decided for aesthetics and unobstructed views, they would have only 20 lifeboats on the ship which - if all used and all filled at max capacity (neither happened) - could accommodate a hair over half the passengers. The number of boats did comply with maritime regulations at the time but they were outdated, not conceiving of a passenger ship that large. The Titanic's crew was poorly trained on using the lifeboat launching equipment. Because of this, boats were slowly launched and poorly supervised allowing many of the lifeboats to leave half empty. 1,503 people died in the sinking of the Titanic. I always say an issue facing #businessowners is a bit of hubris in thinking nothing is going to happen to them or everything will go according to their plan. Here is a picture from Fairview Lawn Cemetary in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I was a week ago on vacation. Since it was the closest location to the sinking, bodies were retrieved and buried here. The number is the order in which the body was taken out of the water. Secure. Survive. Thrive. For more on #businessresilience topics, visit the blog on the EaaS website and subscribe.
