MSE partners new European project on Clean Inland Shipping
A new European project which will look at Clean Inland Shipping, called CLINSH has been launched under the European LIFE fund. The project, of which Marine South East is a partner aims to cooperate with partners to preserve the inland waterways.
Compared to other modes of transport, the inland waterway transport sector is underdeveloped in reducing emissions and developing clean technology. This is partly because ships and engines are long-lasting. The financial strength for investments in new material or adjustments is often lacking.
The CLINSH project will look at the technical and the socio-economic aspects of inland waterway transport. To reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx), alternative fuels or supplementary technologies are used to clean exhaust gases (such as selective catalytic reduction via an SCR catalytic converter).
Partners in the project include ports, universities and industry associations, with the province of Zuid-Holland leading the project. The partners in the project shall cooperate and contribute financially to measures to promote a cleaner inland waterway transport. European cooperation and commitment of European resources are required to finance this transition in the inland waterway sector.

SMI launch Annual Review of the Marine Science and Technology sector
The Society of Maritime Industries has launched its eighth survey focused on UK companies operating in the Marine Science and Technology sectors.
The report aims to provide an insight into current business activity in terms of market sectors, market size and business confidence, both current and forecast.
The survey was conducted at Oceanology International, the trade show held in London in March 2016 which hosted over 500 companies representing the world's leading ocean technology suppliers and service providers.
Highlights from the report are:
* Commercial Marine Science and Technology (MST) appears to be entering a period of stabilisation following the depression which has resulted primarily from the reduced price of oil.
* MST companies contribute, on average, over £1.6bn/year to the UK economy with most of the companies exporting worldwide to a total annual value of £770m.
* Market diversity is wide and includes oil/gas, renewable energy, environment, ports/harbours and military.
