U.S Navy’s USS Boxer Slated For Up To $180 Million Overhaul After Middle East Deployment
Following a recent deployment to the Middle East, the U.S. Navy’s USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, is scheduled for a comprehensive overhaul at BAE Systems’ San Diego facility. The project, estimated to cost up to $180 million, will extend through October 2028 and encompass significant system upgrades and maintenance. This extensive refurbishment underscores the Navy’s commitment to maintaining operational readiness in strategically vital waterways.
Fluidized solidified slurry diffusion range and local scour protection effectiveness around a monopile: a laboratory investigation for an offshore wind farm in Eastern Zhejiang Province, China
Local scour around monopile foundations and the stability of fluidized solidified slurry used in their construction pose critical challenges for offshore wind farm development. This laboratory investigation, modeled after an offshore wind farm in Eastern Zhejiang Province, China, quantifies slurry diffusion and fragmentation across various grouting positions. Results demonstrate flow-induced fragment travel distances dependent on grouting location, alongside a localized bed-shear-stress zone. Furthermore, a cured slurry layer effectively mitigated scour, retaining structural integrity.
Grounded Cargo Ship Freed In St Lawrence River After 4 Week Salvage Effort
Following a protracted, four-week salvage operation, the general cargo ship *Onego Otra* has been successfully refloated in the St. Lawrence River and is now en route to port for a comprehensive inspection. This complex recovery underscores the significant challenges inherent in maritime incident response and highlights the importance of robust operational protocols. The successful refloat represents a crucial step toward restoring navigational safety and minimizing potential environmental impact. For further context on maritime incidents, see our report on the *Golden Leo* sinking off Odesa.
