The sedimentation is sufficiently important in the marina to limit the entry/exit window of the boats, both for pleasure and for cruise ships, and it has significant impacts on the development of nautical activities in the area. To ensure that the resources involved in the maintenance dredging project are used optimally, Innovation maritime has been mandated to identify the technical …
Considering the anticipated growth of marine traffic carried by container ships, the Port of Montréal (MPA) has been planning for several years the development of a new container handling area at Contrecoeur. However, several steps remain to be completed so that the project can be realized. Among other things, the MPA was required to conduct an environmental impact study, the …
In order to put their starfish conveyor back into service, InnoVactiv retained the technical services of Innovation maritime for the overhaul and repair of the equipment.
The objective of this research project was to develop two technically and economically viable concepts of hybrid propulsion systems for fishing vessels, adapted to Québec conditions (St. Lawrence river and gulf) : for vessels operating near the coast and making sea trips of less than one day and for vessels making sea trips of several consecutive days. The adoption of …
In order to assess the effect of a submarine in distress that would be in an irregular position on the ocean floor during the evacuation, the European company QinetiQ wanted to use the CSET as a platform to undergo controlled instrumented angle evacuation tests. The objective of the project’s first phase was to confirm the angles and depth at which …
The main objective of the project was to finalize the design, prototype fabrication and tests for a hydrofoil. The project aimed to determine which hydrodynamic profiles are most appropriate; determine the polarities of these profiles, establish the geometry of the wings according to the targeted performances, determine the hydrodynamic loads on the components of the hydrofoil; make a prototype, test …
GMDSS is an international system, developed by IMO for the purpose of saving lives. The Institut maritime du Québec (IMQ) offers recognized training to train navigation officers in the use of the GMDSS. The design of the simulator proposed by Innovation maritime provided the necessary flexibility to allow the addition of new components and the integration of scenarios generating reaction …
Commercial groundfish fishing is practiced in Québec with trawl, gillnets or longlines. The longline consists of a main line on which hooks are arranged with branchlines. The launching of the longline (up to 1000 baited hooks) however requires a lot of skill and is at high risk of injury. The goal of the project was to design, manufacture and test …
In order to respond to economic and environmental concerns, Innovation maritime has designed the Optide software to optimize shipping on the St. Lawrence through the use of tidal currents. After the user has entered the required data, Optide provides an optimal time of passage. This hour of passage makes it possible to take full advantage of the tidal currents, thus …
The main objectives of this study were to assess whether the current framework for the transportation of hydrocarbons by ships is safe for populations, environment and goods ; assess the capacity of the various organizations involved, according to their respective roles and responsibilities ; propose legislative and regulatory changes or measures to improve the preparedness and response of all organizations …
