Serving as a physician director with Medical Now, PC, Marvin Moy, MD provides surgical treatments such as the spine, shoulder, hand, and knee arthroscopies. With a background in commercial fishing, Marvin Moy, MD, has an extensive interest in oceanography, as well as boat building and naval architecture.
Naval architecture is one that is continuously evolving to integrate leading-edge technological advancements. As reported in Maritime Executive, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) recently reached a research agreement Oldendorff Carriers to create next-generation vessels that meet IMO 2030/50 requirements.
With CBA having already worked extensively with the automotive and aerospace industries, the aim is to better integrate form and function. An initial focus will be on increasing hydrodynamic efficiency, with related research areas including hydrodynamic cloaking, morphing structures, and moving boundary layers.
With alternative energy sources another area of focus, creating new efficiencies will extend to a bottom-up rethink of how materials are constructed, Other ways of decreasing environmental footprint include “automated lifecycle assembly and disassembly.” The result is likely to surpass the current state-of-the-art, which includes $3 billion invested by Oldendorff over the past six years to create a fleet of 90 “eco vessels” built in Japan, Korea, and China.
