VTT “hops” 5G out to sea

On land, 5G technology has transformed communications, providing high-speed data transfer and minimal latency. However, delivering these benefits at sea has remained challenging, and connectivity has traditionally been limited to urban coastal regions. Now, though, the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland and its partners in the 5G-ROUTES project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program, have successfully trialed a so-called multi-hop solution near Turku, Finland, extending coverage up to...

The CHEK Project Conducts Tests To Develop Energy Efficient Ships

A new research effort, which is focusing on combining emerging technologies to promote low-carbon shipping, will test its technologies on in-service vessels, reports The Marine Executive.

The CHEK project 

The project, which is named CHEK (deCarbonizing sHipping by Enabling Key technology symbiosis on real vessel concept designs), is receiving funding from the EU Horizon 2020 program to accelerate innovation with tests of a sail on a dry bulk carrier as well as a hydrogen-powered ship engine on a...
