Unleash the Power of African Innovators

Ocean Innovation Africa is a platform that showcases African ocean-impact initiatives and convenes international  entrepreneurs, corporate entities, investment groups, research groups, NPOs, and authorities working in the Blue Economy ecosystem in Africa. We believe that innovations led by science, technology and entrepreneurship will provide the necessary leverage points to deliver system level impact, substantially contributing to solving ocean pollution, over-exploitation of ocean resources and climate change, at a magnitude and pace matching those of the ocean crisis.

OIA 2021 will run as a hybrid event – with live keynote and panel discussions, startup pitches, workshops, B2B meeting programme, and ocean-impact innovations exhibited at the V&A Waterfront on Friday the 5th of November. The live event will be recorded and rebroadcast as part of the virtual programme running on Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th of November. We will also be hosting the African Chapter of the Ocean Hackathon at the V&A over the conference weekend, where local teams will compete building AI-based ocean-impact algorithms to see who goes through to the world final in Brest.

Last year’s online conference attracted over 60 speakers and 500 delegates from the likes of the United Nations, the African Union, the World Economic Forum, Catalyst Fund, BFA Global, Blue Ocean Partners, Fynd Ocean Ventures, IRENA, Damen Shipyards, and WWF, among others. Headline panel discussions dealt with early-stage private capital investment, building the pipeline of blue-economy startups, and a high-level policy discussion by representatives of governmental and intergovernmental Blue Economy authorities.

Whether you are looking to transition to a more ocean-friendly business model, find inspiration and strategies for your startup business, looking for ocean-conscious solution providers, or ocean-conscious investors, or seeking to benchmark the current trends in Blue Economic development, Ocean Innovation Africa promises to provide a wealth of insights and networking opportunities at the 2021 event.

Customisation is the future for vessel connectivity

In this digital age, maritime communications are set to move away from the ‘one size fits all’ approach to become fully customisable, predicts connectivity specialist IEC Telecom.

As it launches its new comprehensive suite of applications for use across a wide range of maritime sectors, IEC Telecom says having the flexibility to provide individual, customised solutions across fleets and even for individual vessels is the next step in the digital revolution.

Nabil Ben Soussia, CEO Asia, Middle East & CIS at IEC Telecom Group, said: “Customisation using individual solutions will play a leading role in the future of maritime digitalisation. The advanced sectors of the industry are already moving away from the need to have different systems and devices. Instead, future maritime communications will be housed in one device, fully customisable, adaptable and upgradeable whatever, whenever and wherever you need.

“We are delighted to offer this additional layer of services to meet the requirements of our maritime clients across the globe,” he said.

OptiSoft offers a wide range of advanced communication services optimised for the maritime industry including reliable email management, advanced cyber security, robust data transfer, and remote configuration, as well as enabling a range of vessel administration processes.

The suite of services is managed via a cloud-based dashboard which can be accessed by any web-enabled device. The applications can be added or amended remotely, giving a high-level of flexibility to the system.

OptiSoft’s suite of applications currently includes:
•    OneMail – Cost-efficient email management for small vessels
•    OneMailPro – Email management application for corporate networks with multiple users
•    OneCover –  Comprehensive antivirus solution
•    OneShare –  coming soon – this advanced file-transfer service enables efficient sea to shore data transmission  

OptiSoft services can be accessed via a connected laptop with lowest bandwidth requirements. Hence the new portfolio of services is affordable both to small and large vessels. Although OptiSoft does not require any specialised hardware, vessel owners can maximise its performance with IEC Telecom’s OneGate system. Combined, these two solutions will offer a 360 toolkit for marine communication, supported by advanced network management features including filtration, QoS, LTE-failover and more.

Mr Ben Soussia added: “Having worked with the maritime sector for many years we are able to identify what our customers need and produce solutions which are futureproof. OptiSoft will transform the way you operate your fleet connectivity.

“In addition, all of these advanced applications have been developed to include a strong element of cyber security – protecting your vessel systems while helping you to comply with the latest cyber security regulations, including the IMO’s new guidelines. As industry requirements evolve, we are committed to supplying services which meet all demands.”

Christophe Verna propose une voile de traction auto portée pour cargos et porte-conteneurs

D’après l’inventeur, le marché promis à cette voile est énorme, tant du point de vue des économies d’énergies, que d’économies en dollars, car il concerne la consommation de 10 milliards de tonnes de fioul lourd/an.

Du point de vue écologique, si l’on prend seulement la moitié des chiffres relevés lors du voyage de la Skysails (voile  de kite géante) en 2008, soit 20%, cela donne l’économie d’1 milliard de tonnes de fioul lourd et sale brûlés par an.

Côté financier,  le prix du carburant marin à 0,5 % de soufre connaît déjà une forte poussée. Son prix était de l’ordre de 200 dollars la tonne en 2012. Il est passé à environ 400 dollars en 2016, il est négocié actuellement à 731 dollars ».

À 700 dollars la tonne, l’économie sera de 700 milliards de dollars/an.

Christophe Verna estime que sa voile, vu sa configuration, sera plus efficace qu’une voile volante classique à traction verticale.

L’inventeur explique qu’un premier brevet protège un système qui permet à la voile de s’élever par elle-même : http://inventions.a.verna.free.fr/voile.htm , cette conformation cumulant trois avantages :

  • elle ne peut pas tomber à l’eau, même en cas d’absence de vent.
  • s’élevant par elle-même, elle ne nécessite pas de mât de mise en œuvre et récupération qui est un matériel très coûteux. 
  • limitée en élévation, elle tracte le bateau vers l’avant et non vers le haut, exploitant ainsi la force éolienne au maximum.

Toujours d’après l’inventeur, un second brevet protège un système qui permet à la voile auto portée de conserver son horizontalité par 4 procédés : http://inventions.a.verna.free.fr/voile_horizontale.htm .

Stabilisée à l’horizontale, elle est gouvernée depuis le bateau tracté en jouant sur les câbles de traction. 

L’inventeur estime que ses brevets se complètent pour constituer une voile répondant parfaitement à des critères d’efficacité auxquels aucune autre voile volante de traction classique ne peut prétendre.

L’inventeur, malgré de faibles moyens, a fait des démonstrations de faisabilité grâce à  trois prototypes :

Le premier, de 2 m2 : http://inventions.a.verna.free.fr/voile_bassins.htm

Le deuxième, de 6 m2 : http://inventions.a.verna.free.fr/voile_bx_lac.htm        

Le troisième, de 20 m2, auquel manquait deux ballons, de la main d’œuvre et de l’espace pour que la démonstration soit parfaitement concluante :

Aux dires de l’inventeur, malgré leurs imperfections,  ces trois prototypes montrent tous que cette voile, grâce à ses systèmes originaux :

  • S’élève seule,
  • Reste en l’air par ses propres moyens,
  • Qu’elle adopte une position horizontale constante,
  • Cette horizontalité la rend gouvernable en jouant sur les longueurs des câbles de traction bâbord ou tribord,  ce qui est unique pour une voile volante, c’était les buts visés par ces 2 dépôts de brevets.

Il est à noter que les volumes de sustentation participent à la traction du navire.

Monsieur Verna cherche actuellement un/des partenaires pour pousser plus avant le développement de cette voile.

KVH Partners with Smart Ship Hub for KVH Watch Maritime IoT Solution

Remote vessel and voyage management platform Smart Ship Hub will offer KVH Watch connectivity to enable actionable insights for vessels

MIDDLETOWN, RI – Feb. 25, 2021 – KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), announced today that remote vessel and voyage management platform Smart Ship© Hub is now a KVH Watch® Solution Partner and will offer KVH Watch services as part of its wide range of remote technical and operational management solutions. The Smart Ship Hub platform provides performance advisory and predictive diagnostics for vessel performance optimization as well as remote video-based maintenance and surveys and a wide range of related services that rely on real-time data feeds.

“The pillars of Smart Ship Hub’s services include remote tracking, monitoring, and providing actionable insights to our customers so their vessels operate as safely and efficiently as possible,” says Joy Basu, CEO of Smart Ship Hub. “We look forward to using KVH Watch connectivity to enable video, image, and real-time machine data that provides situational awareness and the most accurate assessment of vessel condition at any moment.”

“It is exciting to see the possibilities for operational and cost benefits that a platform such as Smart Ship Hub can produce for maritime businesses,” says Sven Brooks, senior director of IoT business development for KVH. “KVH Watch will enable Smart Ship Hub to have access to the real-time data that will make their digital platform all the smarter and will allow them to conduct troubleshooting sessions to solve critical issues at sea. More importantly, it will allow Smart Ship Hub to deploy more digital services and features than ever before as KVH Watch removes the technical constraints and limitations imposed by the traditional satellite connection onboard.”

Getting information from a vessel to shore is essential for bringing the maritime ecosystem into the digital age. Real-time data from the vessel’s equipment is the starting point for performance optimization. However, the ship’s bandwidth is constantly contested by other users, so there are data limits that prevent an IoT service company from scaling its digital business properly. Furthermore, this limited bandwidth poses a bottleneck for any required video troubleshooting. There needs to be high-speed Internet connectivity to enable video troubleshooting while the vessel is at sea, which saves time and money in port. Network management and cybersecurity issues must also be addressed as shipowners often restrict access for external parties. Therefore, a dedicated IoT connectivity solution is critically important for reducing cyber risks by keeping OT (operational technology) data flow separate from the vessel’s IT (information technology) data flow. Satellite connectivity designed for IoT is the key to being able to provide these services while the vessel is at sea and out of range of cellular signals.

KVH Watch is an IoT Connectivity as a Service solution that provides Flow, secure 24/7/365 machine-to-cloud satellite connectivity for remote monitoring of onboard equipment plus the ability to perform on-demand Remote Expert Interventions using video, voice, or text via KVH’s global HTS network. KVH Watch is designed for maritime equipment manufacturers, multicard service providers, and shipyards seeking affordable monthly subscription-based connectivity that L-band and cellular services cannot deliver at deep sea.

KVH is a mobile tech innovator that provides connectivity solutions for commercial maritime, leisure marine, and land mobile applications on vessels and vehicles, including the award-winning TracPhone® and TracVision® product lines, the global mini-VSAT BroadbandSM network, KVH Watch maritime IoT solutions, and AgilePlans® Connectivity as a Service (CaaS). The company’s KVH Media Group provides news, sports, and entertainment content with such brands as NEWSlink™ and SPORTSlink™.
