Kemper Engineering was in force at the 2025 International Workboat Show and MTS Underwater Intervention. Bart Kemper PE and Alexis San Miguel, EI, presented on strain cycle loading of polymer structures. It was the first time for Leah Hoppe, Tina Owen, and Ashli Prosperie as they all engaged and learned. We chatted up the team at Bollinger Shipyards working on the USCG Polar Security Ice Breakers, which we are supporting. We also caught up with Will Kohnen and others from the subsea community and had a team dinner at Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse.

Krista and Bart Kemper attended the 22nd International Submarine Symposium, formerly sponsored by the Marine Technology Society and now by the World Submarine Organization. The meeting was in conjunction with the Submarine Operators Group meeting, creating an energizing dynamic between two sides of a small but growing industry. Bart presented on "CO2, Hypercapnia, and the Titan Submersible," part of the work of KES' investigation of OceanGate and the Titan implosion. This was a more detailed presentation than the one presented the previous week in Adelaide, Australia at . The KES team developed a steady state breathing model to approximate closed-enviroment life support trends and interactions.
