New power technologies from Alfa Laval
The new Alfa Laval E-PowerPack has been developed to convert waste heat into electrical power, in the process reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The PowerPack is a self-contained solution designed to generate electricity from different heat sources on board including exhaust gas waste heat and engine jacket water.
“Alfa Laval is pursuing a wide range of technologies to support decarbonisation, both independently and with partners,” says Lars Skytte Jørgensen, vice president technology development, energy systems, Alfa Laval Marine Division. “Fuel cells and many other innovations are in the pipeline, but the first critical step is to leverage the existing energy on board. The E-PowerPack does that in a revolutionary way, while building on Alfa Laval’s many decades of waste heat recovery experience.”
RIGSIZ - Synthetic Rigging Sizing (HMPE)
RigSiz is an easy-to-use calculator app that calculates the equivalent stretch sizing for HMPE (Spectra / Dyneema) standing rigging. Moving to synthetic rigging can represent a cost effective “upgrade” for any type of sailing craft. When moving from wire rope rigging to synthetic rigging, determination of the equivalent synthetic rigging size is a complex calculation.
Size for synthetic HMPE (Dyneema / Spectra) standing rigging is not chosen by the equivalent strength but by equivalent stiffness (stretch sizing). The equivalent stiffness (stretch) size (diameter of the HMPE rope rigging) is calculated by the RigSiz calculator application. Use the available HMPE line diameter that is larger than or equal to calculated diameter Since only standard sizes (line thickness) of HMPE rope is available, the stock size larger than or equal to calculated value must be used.
RigSiz is a valuable tool for Yacht Designers, Riggers, Marine Surveyors and Owners when specifying, inspecting, and upgrading to synthetic (HMPE) rope rigging.
The Android version is available from the Google Store

Nexxiot’s up-close cargo tracker
Digitisation company Nexxiot has launched the latest in its line of monitoring sensor devices, ’Cargo Monitor’, which differs from its existing products by tracking cargo on a much closer scale.
Whereas existing products are focused on monitoring the position, movement, handling activities and use of each container while it is shipped, the Cargo Monitor includes a more powerful transceiver, which is placed inside the container itself. It is then able to monitor the transport of higher value and more conditions- sensitive products such as perishables, pharmaceuticals, electronics and so on, and provide real-time data on conditions such as cargo damaging shocks, humidity, temperature and security issues.
