Retrofitting on a ship is in most cases a nightmare for any marine electronics engineer. There is usually no documentation, no space, and few ships have actually been built to date with computer networking in mind... Our chief Engineer  spent a day at sea last week with two shipmates running 30 meters of cable on a large ferry. Wireless is a nice thing, but guess what, ships are mostly made of steel, and radio-waves can’t travel through it. Besides, there is one thing a decent CAT6 will do that radio-waves

As part of the development of the Port of Waterford, the Irish based company SEA-Tech Evolution has installed and successfully trialled their bespoke marine wireless ICT network at the Belview port, a multi-layered infrastructure to support future connectivity needs.

Middle watch 0000-0400 - First bell...  Today as I was unsure about the exact explanation of why we were receiving so many radiowaves in provenence of the Celtic Sea, on Saturday, I've decided to prove Cicero right one more time and I when meeting one of my student (Ian B.) who teaches Radio Communications in NMCI. 

As it happens with easterly wind and lots of sun heating France and the UK during the day like a giant radiator a lot of hot air pushed by the wind has acted like a super amplifier on our radiowaves. Duct effect caused

Today, a team of Sea-Technicians returned to Roches Point in order to reinstall the camera that we had removed to repair a short while ago. It was the first time that Jonathan, the new intern, travelled to the lighthouse located at the entrance of Cork Harbour. Furthermore he had never been in this kind of building, so it was very surprised with all. Jonathan is a Brazilian chap who is studying Energy Engineering in CIT, in Cork.

The first part of the morning Jonathan and I had to configure in the National Maritime College’s wet lab the setup of the

This almost 200 years old lighthouse, unfortunately, is losing its first purpose, with the advent of gps systems (ECDIS), large vessels, have much less needs for lighthouse, making them fall in disuse.
Sea-tech have been using Rochespoint LightHouse as a station to broadcast SeaFi signal up to 30 kilometers from the coast, SeaFi allows buoy, ships and
