This paper investigates the design of a floating platform for stand-alone offshore wind-powered hydrogen production, focusing on the central coast of Peru, which holds exceptional offshore wind potential. The system integrates hydrogen production facilities with the IEA 15-MW reference floating offshore wind turbine mounted on a semi-submersible platform, emphasizing key design aspects from the perspective of motion dynamics. Stability and site-specific hydrodynamic analyses are conducted under representative sea states and wind conditions of the Ica offshore region to evaluate the accelerations imposed on hydrogen production equipment. Results highlight the benign yet energetic environment of Ica, which offers favourable wind consistency, moderate waves, and reduced extremes compared to benchmark North Atlantic sites. These findings confirm the technical feasibility of floating wind-hydrogen integration in Peru, demonstrating that platform responses remain well within recommended design criteria. By coupling renewable power generation with hydrogen production at sea, the study demonstrates a pathway to decarbonize port operations and strengthen the sustainability and resilience of maritime infrastructure in Peru and the wider Pacific region.</p>","PeriodicalId":37027,"journal":{"name":"Marine Systems and Ocean Technology","volume":"21 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12917080/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review paper offers a comprehensive overview of recent developments, challenges, and prospects of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies considering specifically for onboard ship applications. Various Carbon Capture (CC) methods, ranging from post-combustion and pre-combustion capture to oxy-fuel combustion, are critically analysed concerning their operating principles, advantages, disadvantages and applicability in the maritime context. Temporary onboard CO<sub>2</sub> storage is examined in its gaseous, supercritical, solid, and liquid states. In this regard, solid and liquid forms are found promising, although solid storage is not yet commercially mature. The review also addresses the challenges in implementing the CC technologies on ships, including space constraints, energy requirements, safety concerns, and economic viability. A comparative assessment is conducted to determine the most promising OCCS technologies. The study finds that post-combustion CC by chemical absorption requires more space than cryogenic and membrane separation, with the latter two deemed viable options, albeit with trade-offs in energy consumption and cost. The study would provide valuable insights and ideas for further research in the field of OCCS technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":37027,"journal":{"name":"Marine Systems and Ocean Technology","volume":"20 1","pages":"13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11748293/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143013476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed system architecture which so-called SIMKAPEL aims to support small boat registration for maritime safety. It is developed from a conventional service-oriented architecture (SOA) with an open standard for data interoperability between elements. The goal of this research is to implement and evaluate the proposed architecture to support small boat registration and e-certification. Several parts of the architecture have been implemented as a platform that provides core services and data sources to be used by Ministry of Transportation, Directorate General of Sea Transportation, and other government agencies. Finally, the proposed SIMKAPEL platform with the SOA architecture is evaluated for its benefits to users through the expert opinion survey to measure its efficiency. The analysis results showed that SOA-based SIMKAPEL is feasible to use as a boat e-certification system. Furthermore, experiment results provide three parameters (e.g., maritime safety, namely, cargo/passengers, boat safety facilities, and maritime safety systems) with efficiency values of 42%, 46%, and 42%, respectively. The parameter with the highest efficiency shows a big effect on the level of safety of the boat and passengers. Thus, the parameters that need to be prioritized and need boat owners’ attention are cargo/passenger, boat safety equipment, and maritime safety system.","PeriodicalId":37027,"journal":{"name":"Marine Systems and Ocean Technology","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135814958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
