Bjørn Jalving

MTS AWARD 18 SEPT 2014

Kongsberg inform that Bjørn Jalving, Executive Vice President Subsea at maritime, offshore and subsea technology developer Kongsberg Maritime recently has been given the Compass Distinguished Achievement Award from the Marine Technology Society. The award ceremony was at the OCEANS 2014 MTS/IEEE conference in St. John 's, Newfoundland, Canada. This prestigious award is presented to an individual whose work has had significant impact on the fields of marine science and technology.

Bjørn Jalving was selected for the award because of his long career and significant achievements within AUV technology. After graduating as M.Sc. in Engineering Cybernetics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 1991, Bjørn started at FFI (the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment) in 1992, where he worked on the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), in projects with Kongsberg Maritime, the Norwegian Navy, Statoil and NUI.

Bjørn developed the control and mission management system, and was heavily involved in system design of Kongsberg Maritime 's HUGIN AUV, which is today widely regarded as the de facto industry standard AUV family. He has played a key role in applying and verifying the use of AUVs in new applications such as detailed seabed mapping, naval mine hunting (MCM) and marine research.

Kongsberg Maritime add that during his 14 years at FFI, moving to the position of Principal Scientist, Bjørn Jalving published and co-authored more than 30 publications. In 2006 he joined Kongsberg Maritime, and in 2007 he became Vice President of the AUV department.

Bjørn was involved in the KONGSBERG acquisition of Hydroid, the manufacturer of the renown REMUS AUV product lines. From 2012 Bjørn became Executive Vice President of the Subsea Division in Kongsberg Maritime.

"During the last 20 years, innovative autonomous underwater vehicle solutions have proved successful in an increasing number of important applications and I am grateful to have been a part this, " comments Bjørn Jalving.

PATENT TECHNOLOGY - Electric Superyachts are now possible that operate on nothing but energy harvested directly from nature. The above is a 50 ton Zero Emission Vessel  (ZEV) yacht with a low frontal area and hyper efficient SWASH hull that is capable of triple axis harvesting. This craft sports 40kW wind turbines and 300m2 of solar panels. The total energy harvesting capacity of this design in dual axis mode is around 176kW (235hp). The hull is 50m (163ft) hull on the waterline, OAL is 56M (183ft). Cruise the Atlantic, Mediterranean, or Pacific Oceans virtually silently with no pollution and at vastly reduced cost. The sprint speed of this craft will be in the 20+ knot region. If this yacht had not been powered with free energy from nature, the cost of diesel fuel to operate continuously for a year would be approximately: .29gals/hp x 117 x 24 x 365 = $297,226.80 (£183,393.99) In ten years that would be $2.97M (£1.83M). Fuel for thought!
