The use of biofuels as a substitute or supplement to fossil fuels is one of the strategies to further reduce the carbon footprint of marine transport. In this context, the research project carried out by SEREX and Innovation maritime, in partnership with the client, aimed to validate the possibility of developing a mixed fuel based on diesel and biofuels derived …
In the North crossing, pilots are passing ships of strong drafts using the tides. However, there may be differences between predictions and observations of water levels. In order to facilitate their work, the client wanted to equip themselves with computer tools for planning and monitoring the transits of their ships in the North crossing. Innovation maritime has therefore developed a …
OpDAQ Systems, which specializes in shipboard instrumentation systems, wanted to interconnect its various measurement devices to enable efficient communication between each of them and also to improve their viewing platform for all devices. To assist it in its approach, OpDAQ has requested the involvement of Innovation maritime to help optimize the functionality of the existing system.
For the launch of divers and their ascent, the IMQ has entrusted Innovation maritime with the mandate to design and manufacture new equipment that meets the standards of the CSST for this type of activity. In line with the new lifting equipment, a new platform has been designed and built, which also respects the standards of the CSST for diving …
Unloading operations include more than one site and are often complex. Transshipment sequences, tidal effects, currents and navigation restrictions create delays in operations, leading to significant costs that could be avoided with better operations planning. The software developed by Innovation maritime uses NOAA data and takes into account all the constraints necessary to plan the different stages of a trip. …
The aim of this project was to develop a system for remote broadcasting and monitoring of dive parameters and video streams to facilitate real-time management and supervision of professional diving and hyperbaric treatment activities. The developed system retrieves video streams and other data relevant to diving and hyperbaric treatment (from the AxDDM system of the company AXSUB) and transfers them …
Gala Systèmes inc. and Paco Spiralift Inc. have developed a compact, stable, sturdy and quiet stainless steel mechanical cylinder, named i-Lock Spiralift, used as a main lift truck in the entertainment industry. These companies were developing a mechanical cylinder submerged in water that would be used to evaluate removable pool floors. Before marketing the Aquaspiralift, Gala Systèmes inc. and Paco …
The purpose of this project was to provide Parks Canada with a methodology to assist in the recovery of Beluga critical habitat, by reducing the noise level emitted by Parks Canada’s fleet of boats, by sea excursion boats and those dedicated to scientific research, of small model, sailing in the marine park.
The overall objective of the study was to allow the LPA and the CPSLC to decide on the safe duration of transit when performed by a single pilot. More specifically, considering different risk factors, The purpose of the study was to assess the safe transit time between Québec/Trois-Rivières/Montréal and propose,where appropriate, mitigation measures. These objectives included checking whether fatigue appears as …
The project consisted of the development of a slide system for the safe release of lobster females on lobster boats in the Gaspé fleet. To do this, the engineers of Innovation maritime met with fishermen and other people involved in the project in order to identify needs, to design and manufacture a prototype slide and to carry out functional tests …
