Energy Efficient Safe SHip OPERAtion (SHOPERA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The 2012 guidelines on the attained Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships (MEPC.212(63)) represent a major step forward in implementing the REGULATIONS ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF SHIPS (resolution MEPC.203(62)). There are, however, serious concerns regarding the sufficiency of propulsion power and of steering devices to maintain the manoeuvrability of ships in adverse conditions, hence ...

Achieve QUieter Oceans by shipping noise footprint reduction (AQUO)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Recent directives outline the need to mitigate underwater noise footprint due to shipping, to prevent negative consequences to marine life. In that context, the final goal of AQUO project is to provide to policy makers practical guidelines, acceptable by shipyards and ship owners. The list of solutions will be split into solutions regarding ship design (including propeller and cavitation noise), a ...

"TRIple Energy Saving by Use of CRP, CLT and PODded Propulsion" (TRIPOD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"There is a need for fast ship transportation that is both efficient and non-polluting. Conventional propellers are known to have low efficiency. As an indicative example, most of ship propellers installed on cargo vessels waste about 40 percent of the energy in the form of rotational losses in the wake, vortex generation, noise production, cavitation, etc. The recovery of such losses is one of th ...

Design for Ship Safety in Extreme Seas (EXTREME SEAS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
"The strategic objective of EXTREME SEAS is to enable European shipping industry to improve the design of ship structures that are exposed to rough climate, by providing technology and methodology that need to be a part of design for ship safety in extreme seas. The project will relate and adapt to safety regulations including Classification Societies’ Rules. The design procedures provided will be ...

Tools for Ultra Large Container Ships (TULCS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The increase in world trade has largely contributed to the explosion in sea traffic. As a result, the market demand is leading to Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS), which have a capacity up to 14,000 TEU with length up to 400 m, without changes of the operational requirements (speed around 27 knots). The particular structural design of the container ships, leads to open midship sections, resulti ...

Ships oriented Innovative soLutions to rEduce Noise & Vibrations (SILENV)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"Transports are well known to be major contributors to noise pollution. Noise and vibrations (N&V) abatement naturally appears as an important objective for in the greening of surface transports.The SILENV project is a response to this requirement for the maritime domain.The consequences of N&V emissions from the ships are multiple. N&V emissions constitute a disturbance for both passengers and ha ...
