World Maritime Day!

It’s World Maritime Day, which this year celebrates new technology for a greener shipping industry. SATURN is contributing to this goal by researching the most promising solutions to reducing noise pollution from ships, which will help reduce the environmental footprint of the shipping industry. Technologies being tested include bubble curtains, pump jet propulsion, hull modifications, and new propeller designs.

Learn about SATURN and ways that underwater noise can be reduced in this short video from our coordinating institute, MaREI at University College Cork, below.
