Joint Operation for Ultra Low Emission Shipping (JOULES)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2017,
Reducing emissions from shipping has increasingly become a challenge over the last years, both as a counter measure against global climate change and to protect local environments and population from waste, gas emissions and noise.This challenge has been documented both in policy papers, like the Europe 2020 initiative or the Transport White Paper, and in rules and regulations issued by IMO as wel ...

INOvative Energy MANagement System for Cargo SHIP (INOMANS²HIP)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The global optimization of energy systems aboard future and currently operating cargos is crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emission in a substantial and cost effective way. It is also of major economic interest in the merchant marine sector.A holistic approach considering the overall production and management of energy aboard ships (including propulsion systems and energy output optimization) is t ...

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 ...

Power Optimised Ship for Environment with Electric Innovative Designs ON board (POSE²IDON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The electric ship concept offers many benefits; among other aspects if offers flexibility of control and effectiveness of power transmission. But predominantly it enables higher energy conversion efficiency by ensuring that prime movers are effectively loaded at all times and across all operating conditions. This dominating advantage cannot be matched by mechanical transmission systems because ge ...
