The Netherlands is a world leader in maritime technology. Many companies at the port of Rotterdam are dedicated to expanding the field. One of these companies is VSTEP Simulation, developer of maritime simulators and software for training purposes. Port of Rotterdam Authority is using these solutions to train commanding officers for its vessels.

I had a fun opportunity to get some drone content of a ship getting underway from the port of Guayania Puerto Rico.

Everton Schmidt assumed the position with the commitment to maintain the activities during the new coronavirus pandemic.

M/V PILOT 62 (CHEOY LEE shipyards 17m Self-righting Pilot Boat)

Join us as we delve into the simulation training that's helping North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) marine pilots to remain at the top of their game, even from over 950 kilometres away from their home ports. Experience how NQBP's pilots, terminal operators, and tug masters push their limits at the Queensland Government's Smartship Australia facility using virtually recreated ports of Mackay and Hay Point. The two-day simulations bring to life the berthing of virtual vessels up to...

Research on hydrodynamic interaction indicates that if the speed of the ship near a bank is too high, the rudder may be less able to cope with the forces induced and control will be lost. The Nautical Institute highlights this in its latest Mars Report, in which an LPG carrier hit a barge being towed by a tugboat as a result of hydrodynamic forces.
