Ships of the Future: The Coming Revolution in the Shipping Industry | FD Engineering

An engineering revolution is underway. Driven by dedicated individuals who are building extraordinary machines that will change our lives.

If global shipping were a country it would be the sixth largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. But shipping companies and engineers are creating remarkable new machines to make their industry greener, using a resource that has moved man across the world’s oceans for thousands of years…Wind.

over dramatized, just show the technology..

[jamesstevens]

The decision makers in the big shipping companies say they’re goal is to reduce emissions, but fuel savings equals higher profits. 💵💷💶💴

[GermanGreetings]

Econowinds offers an absolutely convincing concept: It fits perfectly into all processes on a containership - offshore as well as in harbour, where the cranes can`t be hindred by masts or riggings on deck. Brillant, dear neighbours ! Absolute brilliant...

Jeff Bezos has a 417 foot sail boat while Black Pearl is only 350 feet. How old is this show?

[Antonio-qnel]

I didn't know Gabe Newell had a stake on the shipping industry, they better hold their trousers

[WHGM]

Chipping away slowly but surely. Would be good to include the effect of oil carriers taken out because less oil is needed. I was once told they make up roughly half of all sea carriers.

[DanielEidsness]

This seems like the future yet also the past.. the best of both eras working harmoniously for efficiency and lower emissions in newer innovations to the sails, well done 👏

[MacDa-yyxn]

The statement that the sails work on suction and not pressure is not quite true. Yes when heading into the wind, but not true when running with the wind.

[abundantharmony]

Pffft, been hearing about this for over 15 years now.

[kevinmontgomery]

WRONG! Starting around minute 23:00 you show graphics of the Magnus effect where a spinning ball curves. You show the curve moving opposite the direction of spin. It moves in the direction of spin: clockwise curves right; counterclockwise curves left. Same for the ship graphics. The closer together the lines are the higher the pressure. The further apart the lines, the lower the pressure. The cylinder pulls towards the low-pressure side.

i do see a better solution in e-fuels (ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, e-diesel, etc...). Wind can be a great addition, but i don't see it outperforming ICE's. The reason why international shipping doesn't use wind power anymore, is because of cheap and more powerful internal combustion engines.

[maxhugen]

20:57 Are those the ferries that won't allow EVs on board?

[mattw]

Very exciting tech! Thanks for sharing

[tksalalah]

That container which is lock with twist lock manual. Is this enough to keep container lash on vessle because each twist lock about SWL 8t so total 4 twist lock swl 32t

[mrhassell]

Filters are coming, already demonstrated and verified, backed by a major car manufacturer, converting toxic exhaust fume to 100% pure oxygen.
The science behind this is well understood and within the next year or so, it will be everywhere. People will upgrade, but they don't like change much, however.

[runeskogstad]

Beautiful and interesting ideas. There is no choice. We have to experiment with different solutions to conserve energy, for future marine transport.

[ismoleppanen]

A Norsepower Flettner rotor was tested on M/S Viking Grace from 2018 to 2021.

[SteifWood]

I hope a follow-up video can portray the builds and experiences from smaller vessels like *Sailing Uma, Sailing into Freedom, Sailing La Vagabonde, Gone with the Wynns and soon Sailing Delos, * the most famous YT channels that are using or transitioning into hybrid or fully electric propulsion in addition to wind while cruising around the Seven Seas.

[DougBrennanWgtn]

So the public have the only recordings. Fascinating.

[venturefanatic]

How much fuel do you save if you go under storms instead of going around to avoid damage.
