Monitoring Algal Blooms, Maintaining Water Quality and Chelsea Technologies Solutions For Commercial Aquaculture

23.11.2021

Why would commercial aquaculture monitor algal blooms? Algae are essential for life on Earth and for commercial aquaculture. But when some species bloom, they can cause harm. Some 5,000 species of microalgae form the foundation of aquatic food chains, help control atmospheric CO2 levels, and produce roughly half of the world’s oxygen. The troublemakers are approximately 250 species that can produce potent toxins or cause harm through their sheer biomass; a particular problem in the aquaculture industry where the presence of algal blooms can cause all stock to be lost. What is a harmful algal bloom? Algal blooms can: •Read more

Protecting The Marine Environment In Our Changing World With Chelsea Technologies

11.11.2021

Why is global shipping rising? With so many stores closed during the Pandemic, consumers globally had no option but to turn to the internet to buy the products they need.

Being Part Of The Solution: How Chelsea Technologies Research And Innovation Is Tackling Climate Change

09.11.2021

Why does Phytoplankton matter regarding climate change? Seen from space, earth is unquestionably an ocean planet; a beautiful blue marble serenely floating in a cold empty void. Standing at any shore, the big blue appears endless and even somewhat empty, filled with nothing but water. But below the surface, the ocean is in fact brimming with microscopic plants called Phytoplankton. If you were to take an empty glass and scoop up some water from the shore, in that glass you would have between 75-100 million Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are the foundation of the aquatic food web, the primary producers, feeding everythingRead more

Monitoring Bacteria in Aquatic Environments With Chelsea Technologies’ Tryptophan Sensors

08.11.2021

What is Tryptophan? Tryptophan is an amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins and exists in many foods that are protein-rich; a natural component of aquatic human effluent events. Tryptophan fluoresces in the ultra-violet (UV) region of light, which means that when we direct light of a particular UV wavelength onto Tryptophan, it will emit light of a longer wavelength; ergo tryptophan sensors. For example, light of certain wavelength directed towards Tryptophan emits light at different wavelength. The intensity of this emitted light can be detected and measured by a suitable sensor such as a Chelsea Technologies Tryptophan sensors.Read more

2021: A Second Wave of Scrubbers

24.02.2021

It’s easy to mistake January 2021 for January 2020 with all the talk of widening HSFO / VLSFO spreads. And as numerous scrubber manufacturers have hinted in recent weeks, it’s looking increasingly likely that there’s going to be a second wave of shipowners installing scrubbers. The price differential has been slowly climbing for a couple of months now, and recent analysis by Greg Miller suggests that Capesizes with scrubbers are already looking at more than $2,500 per day of savings. Indeed, as TradeWinds reported on 28 January, a scrubber fitted VLCC was recently fixed at a time charter equivalent rateRead more
