WEST 2014 is the largest event on the West Coast for the Sea Services and the contractors that support them. Senior leaders, including the three Sea Service Chiefs, will address “The New Maritime Strategy: How Do We Make It Work?” The timing of WEST 2014 gives active duty U.S. and allied military, government, industry and academia decision-makers the opportunity to engage on multiple levels to discuss the ways, means and ends of the new strategy. Now in its 22nd year, WEST 2014 is co-sponsored by the U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA International, both non-profit, non-lobbying membership associations. Registration is free for military and
government personnel. CO SPONSORS

Is this innovation still ahead of its time? The Bluefish ZZC+ platform has a total energy harvesting capacity around 176kW (235hp), giving an Energy Harvested to Displacement ratio (EH/D) of 3.52kW/ton (4.72hp/ton). Larger versions of this format could be the emission free cargo ships of the future. The average cruising speed of this vessel will be higher that the standard hull 50m (163ft) hull on the waterline, giving a better speed/length ratio [nominal]. The OAL is 56M (183ft). The sprint speed of this craft will be in the 20+ knot region. The cost of diesel fuel to cruise this ship 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). There is though no fuel cost during normal operations. Fuel for thought!
