A joint simulation project between Napa, Norsepower, and Sumitomo Heavy Industries Marine & Engineering (SHI-ME) has validated the emissions reduction potential of combining wind propulsion with voyage optimisation. The results so far from the first phase of the...
Yara Marine Technologies, Molflow, and academics from Chalmers University of Technology, Halmstad University and Gothenburg University have concluded a three-year project aimed at developing an AI-based semi-autonomous system for ships to enable more energy efficient...
The EU Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP) Project has now ended, with the conclusion that wind energy use has positive applications for commercial ships The EU-Interreg North Sea Region project ‘WASP: Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion’ reported that: Five...
A study into ammonia safety onboard ships undertaken by the Lloyd’s Register (LR) Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS), has found that a range of mitigation methods, from ship design to crew training and...
The combined emissions of metals and other environmentally hazardous substances from ships is putting the marine environment at risk according to a new study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. When the researchers calculated the contaminant load from...
A new laboratory, named CapLab, has been inaugurated in the Post of Genoa, resulting from a partnership between Ecospray and the University of Genoa, and which will be used to study new fuel cell-based carbon capture solutions to be applied in the maritime and...
Hurtigruten Norway, which is working towards its first zero emission ship by 2030, has officially kicked off its innovative research project in partnership with research institute Sintef and 12 maritime partners. The new consortium, which includes Cavotec, Vard,...
A group of industry experts led by Grieg Star Shipping has concluded that deep-sea shipping can transform to ammonia as fuel, but there are several difficult hurdles to overcome. The group examined the possibilities of retrofitting an open hatch vessel to run on green...
Design and engineering consultancy Houlder is to participate in the ‘Winds of Change’ project led by Smart Green Shipping (SGS), which will see an SGS FastRig wing sail retrofitted to a large vessel. The project recently received funding from the UK Department for...
