How can sonar transponders protect civil offshore infrastructure?
Specialist event and workshop

The MCN Underwater Communication Group would like to demonstrate the potential of the offshore wind farm as a sensor and actuator for maritime underwater safety and outline a concept. The current transponders listen to the water 24/7 all year round, report the triggering to the connected control centre - after 10 minutes the entire underwater event is silenced in the ether.

15 January 2025 - Set sail sustainably & innovatively in 2025! Stade
The topic of sustainability affects the entire maritime industry and is extremely multifaceted. The regulations to be observed in the area of climate protection and environmental protection are once again becoming stricter for shipping companies in the Lower Elbe region and throughout northern Germany.
Ships over 5000 GT will be subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) from 2024. At EU level, measures such as the new regulations of the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, which are intended to incentivise the use of alternative climate-friendly fuels, must be taken into account. The measures to implement the IMO strategies for the gradual defossilisation of shipping will also be noticeable.
