Glosten

Glosten is working with STAX Engineering to help their team capture emissions from container vessels and oil tankers at port. A maritime emissions capture and control company, STAX wanted to install their technology on a deck barge to serve the terminals in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Glosten developed the foundations to support their carbon capture and control equipment, which attaches to vessels’ auxiliary and boiler exhausts and removes 99% of particulate matter and 95% of nitrogen oxides before releasing purified gas. In addition, we provided regulatory support and guidance related to power generation options. We are excited to be supporting STAX’s innovative emissions-reduction service, which will allow incoming vessels to achieve CARB compliance without the need for a retrofit. #decarbonization #CARB #emissionsreduction #carboncapture

After a many-months-long effort, the salvage of the M/V Dali is complete. Following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, the Dali was freed from the wreckage and relocated so that the vessel could be inspected and the debris from the allision safely removed. Resolve Marine engaged Glosten to provide on-site support with vessel stability, heavy lift planning, development of an heavy weather mooring plan, and cargo tracking as it was removed from the ship. Once the bulk of the cargo and solid debris were removed from the bow, we developed estimates for the volume of hazardous contents in the hold so that it could be disposed of in accordance with the proper environmental regulations. Clearing the Dali of thousands of tons of concrete and metal was no small feat, but thanks to Resolve and our industry partners, the vessel is now on its way to a shipyard. #FrancisScottKeyBridge #MVDali #salvageresponse #salvageengineering

Glosten is heading to New Orleans next week for the International WorkBoat Show! Stop by booth 1705 to chat with Morgan Fanberg, PE, Maggie Moon, Bradley Lamkin, Andrew S. Mund, PE, Jeff Rider, and Peter Soles, and don’t miss Morgan’s session with William Doyle of Dredging Contractors of America about the Francis Scott Key Bridge allision and how the marine industry might prevent such tragedies in the future. To set up a meeting with us in advance of the show, reach out to [email protected]. We’re looking forward to seeing you there! #WorkBoat #IWBS24 #WorkBoatShow

Regardless of whether hydrogen emerges as the fuel of the future, all low- or zero-carbon fuels depend on its abundance and availability. In the latest issue of Maritime Reporter and Engineering News, Glosten Principal and Marine Engineer Sean Caughlan discusses how green hydrogen will be essential to the transition away from fossil fuels as both a fuel and a feedstock. Check out the article for insights from one of the marine industry’s leading experts on the design of alternative-fueled, battery-hybrid, and all-electric vessels. #decarbonization?#alternativefuels #greenhydrogen

Marine Log’s annual FERRIES conference is taking place in Seattle next week and Glosten is attending! Our CEO, Morgan Fanberg, PE, will be moderating a panel on the electrification of the Washington State Ferries (WSF) featuring Matt von Ruden of WSF, Drew Orvieto of ABB Marine & Ports, Cassie Bradley of Siemens Energy, and Will Ayers of Elliott Bay Design Group. Mark your calendars to learn more about what is currently the largest marine electrification project in the world and reach out to us at [email protected] if you would like to connect at the show. #FERRIES2024 #ferries #passengertransportation #marineindustry

The final year of the JOIDES Resolution’s operations in the International Ocean Discovery Program has come to a close, but we won’t forget this drill-ship-turned-research-vessel’s incredible contributions to science over the last four decades. Previously funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Foundation and operated by Texas A&M University, the JOIDES Resolution was able to collect samples and data from record-breaking depths that helped scientists better understand life on Earth. Glosten got to know the vessel in 2006 when we developed the modification package for a major overhaul to improve accommodations and onboard facilities, and gained a deeper appreciation for the many unique science capabilities this vessel offered. There is no doubt it will be well-remembered by the oceanographic research community! #JOIDESResolution #oceanographicresearch #marineengineering

Marine Technology Reporter’s list of the top 100 tech, people, and companies in the subsea sector is out and Glosten made the list! We are proud to be counted among an impressive group of organizations and technologies making a difference above and below the surface with our work in vessel design and floating offshore wind. Visit the link to the special MTR100 issue in the comments to learn more about the exciting developments taking place in the subsea space. #MTR100 #navalarchitecture #marineengineering #subsea

We are excited to share that Glosten’s Foil Ferry made the cover of Marine Log’s October issue! This issue explores the latest developments in the world of passenger vessels and the strides being made in ferry design. Thanks to the recent funding awarded to the Foil Ferry project, our team will continue advancing this zero-emissions hydrofoiling design which has the potential to revolutionize maritime transportation. #passengertransportation #decarbonization #hydrofoil #foilferry

Shaver Transportation Co’s tug Willamette has returned to its duties with a brand new set of Z-drives and improved performance. Our team assisted Shaver with modifications to the tug to accommodate the new propulsion units and provided controls integration services to incorporate the new machinery into the rest of the vessel systems. We also took the opportunity to stiffen the stern of the vessel and replace the existing Z-drive guards with more streamlined versions which reduced vibration and resulted in gains in speed for the tug. The Willamette is a key part of the Shaver fleet, helping ships and barges safely navigate the Columbia River—we are pleased to have helped return this workboat to the water so it can continue supporting essential maritime activities along the West Coast’s inland waterways. #marineengineering #controlsengineering #zdrivereplacement

We’re excited to announce that Glosten has been selected to design the next RoPax vessel for the Fishers Island Ferry District! This new vessel will replace the Munnatawket, which has served the island since 1978. The ferry is a critical lifeline connecting Fishers Island to the Connecticut mainland with year-round service. The new Subchapter T design will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the Fishers Island community, prioritizing reliability, operational efficiency, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. We officially kicked off the project last week and look forward to sharing updates as we progress through concept, preliminary, and contract design. #ferry #vesseldesign #navalarchitecture #marineengineering?
