You can argue that point, but this sector fi nds itself on the very tip of the Tspear as a particularly exciting and event-fi lled year for the domestic waterfront begins. Without a doubt, if even one-half of the potential developments that loom large for workboats come to fruition, then we will be looking at the beginning of an uptick in the maritime business climate. Nowhere is that more true than for the passenger vessel and ferry industries. A major recapitalization of ferry fl eets, coast-to-coast, is well underway. New designs, new hulls and all the amenities that today’s consumers crave are on the way, along with increased capacities and – just maybe – some new routes as well. The drivers for the passenger vessel re- vival are many – fuel economy, environmental and regulatory pressures and a more discerning [email protected] customer base among them – but the end result is a revived boatbuilding sector. This month, Joe Hudspeth (page 16) Patricia Keefe (page 40) and Barry Parker (page 34) each bring their own take on that white hot pace. That’s just the high octane boost that the shipyard sector des- perately needs, at just the right time. At the same time, that new, high tech tonnage places what Murray Goldberg and Joy Findley both characterize as “unique challenges upon operators when it comes to training and safety.” That’s where Blended Learning comes in. The Washington State Ferries is exploring the use of blended learning (combining eLearning and face-to-face training) to help alleviate their train- ing challenges. That story begins on page 24. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more exciting, the U.S. Coast Guard (at long last and at last count) ended 2016 with not one but three ballast water technology approv- als, eliminating the vast majority of obstacles for vessel operators to install the now-required systems. Not all domestic brown water hulls will be impacted – a small number of 39,000 ves- sels, actually – but with the IMO BWT convention and approvals from this side of the pond, those operators who are, will need to get to work. Some are already at it, installing approved BWT technologies as you read this copy. That story begins on page 30. We begin 2017 with our proverbial maritime vessel full and down, proceeding full speed ahead, and leaving the greenest wake that marine commerce has seen since sailing ships went the way of horse-drawn carriages. Awaiting us is not so much a destination as it is a gauntlet of challenges that include ballast water treatment installations, subchapter M towboat compli- ance, and ever tightening emission tiers. That reality, although promising a mild headache for operators, also gives hope to OEM’s from all sides of the industry, and the shipyards that they serve. 2017 will be anything but boring. You’ll read all about it in the coming months, right here at home within the pages of MarineNews. I look forward to driving the boat and steering the conversation.

The initiative is funded through the EC's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and runs for four years until 2015. The network of 29 partners with 42 specialist marine research facilities is spread across 11 EU countries and 1 International Cooperation Partner Country (Brazil). MARINET offers periods of free-of-charge access to test facilities at a range of world-class research centres. Companies and research groups can avail of this Transnational Access (TA) to test devices at any scale in areas such as wave energy, tidal energy, offshore-wind energy and environmental data or to conduct tests on cross-cutting areas such as power take-off systems, grid integration, materials or moorings. In total, over 700 weeks of access is available to an estimated 300 projects and 800 external users, with at least four calls for access applications over the 4-year initiative. MARINET partners are also working to implement common standards for testing in order to streamline the development process, conducting research to improve testing capabilities across the network, providing training at various facilities in the network in order to enhance personnel expertise and organising industry networking events in order to facilitate partnerships and knowledge exchange.

These services are delivered by three county departments: Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP), Department of Permitting and Environmental Review (DPER), and Department of Transportation (DOT). These departments are supported by dedicated funding sources and provide services that enhance the quality of life and economic vitality of the Puget Sound region. The Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) serves as the steward of the region’s environment.

LIUTO (Low Impact Urban Transport water Omnibus) is the name of t he project, whose goal is to develop the prototype of Venice’s 2000 M/b fleet with the following main aims and innovative features: • achieve low hydrodynamic impact by wave and propeller washing generated in the navigation and the frequent manoeuvring, by m eans of an optimised hull and an innovative propeller designs; • qualify and compare results with existing vessels by validated CFD numerical tools, model and full scale tests; • test and apply composite materials, resisting heavy duty services, vandalism and environmental conditions, for the hull construction and the superstructure, to reduce maintenance costs and help achieving stability. ACTV is responsible for co -ordinating the project and defining, as prime interested end user, the specification of the mot or boat.

ISBN 978-82-471-6261-3 (electronic ver.) ISSN 1503-8181 ITK report 2008:3-W Theses at NTNU, 2008:20 Printed by Tapir Uttrykk Summary Speed and position control systems for marine vehicles have been subject to an increased focus with respect to performance and safety. An example is represented by drilling operations performed with semi submersible rigs where the control of position and heading requires high accuracy. Drift- ing from the well position could cause severe damage to equipment and environment. Also, the use of underwater vehicles for deep ocean survey, exploration, bathymetric mapping and reconnaissance missions, has be- come lately more widespread. The employment of such vehicles in complex missions requires high precision and maneuverability. This thesis focuses on thrust estimation and control of marine pro- pellers with particular attention to four-quadrant operations, in which the propeller shaft speed and the propeller in‡ow velocity (advance speed) as- sume values in the whole plane. In the overall control system, propellers play a fundamental role since they are the main force producing devices. The primary objective of the thruster controller is to obtain the desired thrust from the propeller regardless the environmental state.
