Adaptive and smart materials and structures for more efficient vessels (ADAM4EVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Materials and structures are called adaptive if they can change certain properties in a predictable manner due to the forces acting on them (passive) or by means of built in actuators (active). Those materials and structures are referred to as smart if they provide best performance when operation circumstances change. The project ADAM4EVE focuses on the development and assessment of applications o ...

Green Retrofitting through Improved Propulsion (GRIP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"The aim of the GRIP project is to reduce fuel consumption in shipping by 5% (with individual ships up to 10%) and thus reduce exhaust gas emissions. Its first objective is to give a sound basis for the choice of energy-saving devices (ESD) for ship owners. The second is to give insight into the detailed requirements on the device design by performing an analysis of the interaction between hull a ...

RETROFITting ships with new technologies for improved overall environmental footprint (RETROFIT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

Retrofitting is defined as the installation onboard ships of state-of-the-art or innovative components or systems and could in principle be driven by the need to meet new regulatory standards or by the ship owner interest to upgrade to higher operational standards. Retrofitting should become an established practice in the shipping industry involving the entire value chain and exploring the possibi ...

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 ...
