5月31日，地中海邮轮（MSC Cruises）旗下的最新一艘邮轮“地中海神女（MSC Euribia）”号正式交付。“地中海神女”号堪称目前最环保的邮轮，她是“传奇”级的最后一艘，使用液化天然气作为主要燃料，并且运用了一系列先进的环保技术。地中海邮轮计划通过“地中海神女”号从圣纳泽尔到哥本哈根为期4天的首航，向外界展示绿色航行的未来。这次航行也将成为邮轮业的首次温室气体“净零排放”航行。“地中海神女”号独特的推进系统设计，使其最大航速达到22.3节的同时，还能拥有出色的节能减排表现。地中海邮轮表示，在航行期间，该船的日均每人温室气体排放量较其使用传统燃料的姊妹船减少19%。与10前建造的船舶相比，这一数值更是下降了44%。 

MSC Cruises took delivery on its newest cruise ship on May 31 promoting it as possibly the industry’s most environmentally advanced ship to date. The last ship of a previous class, the MSC Euribia incorporates new elements including the use of LNG as its primary fuel and advanced technologies as the company prepares to demonstrate the future with a four-day delivery voyage from France to Copenhagen. The voyage is being promoted as the world’s first net-zero greenhouse gas emissions trip for a cruise ship. The propulsion plant is designed to give her a maximum speed of 22.3 knots while also being energy efficient and reducing emissions. According to MSC, when in service, the vessel will emit up to 19 percent less greenhouse gas emissions per passenger per day than her sisterships which use conventional marine fuels. This amounts to 44 percent less greenhouse gas emissions per passenger per day than ships built only 10 years ago.

近日，ABB公布了一种新型电力推进概念“ABB Dynafin”，其灵感来源于鲸鱼尾巴的运动姿态。与传统的轴系推进相比，“ABB Dynafin”有望降低22%的推进能耗。新的推进系统由一台主电机驱动一个特殊的叶轮，以每分钟30-80转的速度旋转。叶轮和叶片的联合运动同时产生推进力和转向力，为船舶提供突破性的推进效率和操控精度。该新型推进装置的初始设计功率为每台1-4兆瓦，特别适用于包括车客渡轮、海上风电支援船和游艇等中小型船舶，为其提供出色的机动性和动力定位性能。ABB预计，“ABB Dynafin”首台原型机将于2025年问世。

ABB has unveiled a new electric propulsion concept called ABB Dynafin. Inspired by the dynamic motions of a whale’s tail, it promises to reduce propulsion energy consumption by up to 22% compared to a conventional shaftline. The new propulsion concept features a main electric motor that powers a large wheel rotating at a moderate 30-80 rounds per minute. The combined motion of the wheel and blades generates propulsion and steering forces simultaneously, enabling what ABB says is “ground-breaking operational efficiency and precision” for ships. Initially available in the power range of 1–4 MW per unit, the new propulsion concept is particularly effective for medium-sized and smaller vessels, including ferries for passengers and vehicles, offshore support vessels operating at wind farms, and yachts. In addition, notes ABB, Dynafin delivers superior maneuverability, and positioning performance. ABB estimates that the first prototype will be available in 2025.

全球第一艘M350型浮式生产储卸油船——“Bacalhau”号的船体及生活区已于5月26日正式交付，标志着中国造船业取得了突破性进展。该油船总长364米，型宽64米，型深33米，共有22个货油舱，满载储油量为200万桶，其物量规模和尺度参数创世界之最，投入运营后，每天能够处理约22万桶原油。据大连船舶重工海洋工程大型项目团队副经理潘永泉介绍：“这是世界上首个应用挪威船级社（DNV）最新规范设计的超大型海工项目。”该船使用了钛合金管、耐热合金管、超级双向不锈钢管等多种长效防腐性能材料，使得这艘大船可以30年不进坞维修，仅需进行低成本的维护。

The hull and living quarters of the Bacalhau-the world’s first M350 floating, production, storage and offloading vessel-were delivered on 26th May, marking a breakthrough for the Chinese shipbuilding industry. The new vessel’s material scale and scale parameters make it the largest in the world, with a total length of 364 meters, a beam of 64 meters and a depth of 33 meters. It boasts 22 cargo tanks with a full-load oil storage capacity of 2 million barrels. After it is put into operation, the vessel will process 220,000 barrels of crude oil each day.“The new vessel is the world’s first large offshore project designed in adherence to the latest rules and regulations of the Det Norske Veritas,” said Pan Yongquan, vice-manager of the large project team of marine industrial products at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry.“A variety of long-term anti-corrosive materials, such as titanium alloy pipes, heat-resistant alloy pipes and super duplex stainless steel pipes, have been used,” Pan said, emphasizing that these made the Bacalhau a low-maintenance vessel and would allow it to meet its 30-year designed life without any dry-docking requirements. 

中国海洋石油集团(CNOOC)于6月1日称，我国首个百万吨级海上二氧化碳封存(CCS)工程项目在南海正式投入使用。该项目总计可封存超150万吨的二氧化碳，相当于植树近1400万棵。这一CCS项目服务于距离深圳西南约200公里的恩平15-1原油钻采平台，能够将油田开发伴生的二氧化碳捕获并处理，回注至距平台3公里远、在海床约800米底下的“穹顶”式地质构造中。该项目的运行标志着我国成功掌握了海上二氧化碳捕集、处理、注入、封存和监测的全套技术和装备体系。

China's first offshore million-tonne carbon storage project was put into operation on Thursday in the South China Sea, according to the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). The project is designed to store a total of more than 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is equivalent to planting nearly 14 million trees. The project, serving the Enping 15-1 oil platform 200 km southwest of Shenzhen, captures and processes CO2 from oilfields and then injects CO2 into a "dome" geological structure at a depth of around 800 meters under the seabed and about 3 km from the platform. The operation of the project signifies China's achievement in acquiring a complete set of technologies and equipment for capturing, processing, injecting, storing and monitoring CO2 at sea.
