Climb aboard the cargo ship OOCL Atlanta as she journeys from Hong Kong to Singapore. How does a minimal crew keep this 1,000ft-long vessel afloat in treacherous seas?

Designed to forge new routes between the Hawaiian islands, the massive Hawaii Super Ferry combines innovation with stability and speed. Can this ambitious design be turned into a functional ferry?

China's pollution woes are a problem with global ramifications. Follow the team of green engineers trying to build an energy-efficient Beijing.

Three teams of engineers are locked in a race to harness what may be the most powerful form of green energy: swift tidal currents and battering waves, the power of the oceans. Each team believes it can solve a portion of the world's energy needs. They're testing three different machines designed to be placed in the water and convert oceanic energy into electricity. But getting the machine from the design stage to implementation is a difficult challenge and now each team prepares to install their systems and turn them on for the first time. If they succeed, they could radically change the way we power our planet.
