The increased availability of solar energy potential, especially in southern latitudes as the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean regions, constitutes a strong motivation for design development floating offshore platforms suitable deployment operation sea environment. In this work, boundary element method is applied to hydrodynamic analysis pontoon-type structures carrying photovoltaic panels on deck....

With increasing seal populations in the Baltic Sea comes growing interaction between seals and coastal fisheries. The impact of seals, mainly grey ( Halichoerus grypus ), on fisheries can be reduced by implementing seal-safe fishing gear, which hinders access to catches. One successful solution is introduction a modified trap net, pontoon trap. In this study, traps were for use cod Gadus morhua...

Environmental logistics in Colombian river areas requires solutions that allow economic development based on tourism, without ecological degradation. Therefore, this paper shows the most relevant aspects of project and preliminary design a Pontoon-type vessel with catamaran hull 8 meters length enough power to reach speed 5 knots (85%MCR) built aluminum, which will also have electric propulsion...
