SUMMARY:KNVTS lecture: Allseas – Pioneering the next generation of clean energy
DESCRIPTION:The maritime sector accounts for 3% of global CO2 emissions and must address climate targets. Allseas has chosen a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) for sustainable ship power\, selecting a High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) for its safety\, reliability\, and zero emissions\, even in challenging conditions. \nAs nuclear regulations for marine environments continue to develop\, Allseas decided to construct the first HTGR on land. Onshore\, industrial clusters often deal with high energy expenses\, grid congestion\, and unreliable renewable energy sources. The Allseas HTGR helps relieve pressure on the grid while delivering reliable\, carbon-free power and heat—supporting faster decarbonisation and strengthening the resilience and long-term competitiveness of industry. \nErik Schreurs will outline the steps that Allseas is taking toward the goal of nuclear-powered civil shipping. Drawing on his experience with the Dutch Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection\, he will discuss the reactor technology in more detail\, the challenges that the marine environment brings\, and the approaches that are taken on the regulatory side.

SUMMARY:KNVTS lecture: Wind load measurements and wind load predictions of large ships in open sea and in harbours
DESCRIPTION:In the lecture the results of the WINDLASS Joint Industry Project (Wind Loads And Securing Ships) will be presented. The objective of WINDLASS JIP is a better modelling of the 3D wind field and wind loads on high-windage vessels in ports\, locks\, waterways and at exposed terminals. \nThe need for this is given by the fact that large wind loads on ships increasingly give rise to practical problems and risk for incidents. This is due to e.g. the ongoing growth of vessel sizes\, the increasing occurrence of “exposed” port sites with coastal conditions\, and last but not least climate change. \nAdditional knowledge about wind loads on ships is considered helpful to enable a safer vessel operation in ports and waterways\, but will also support engineering analysis/design and navigation training. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ir. Jaap de Wilde\, MARIN
