Inspection Capabilities for Enhanced Ship Safety (INCASS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In the day-to-day ship operations, structural and machinery failures may lead to major accidents, endangering crew and passengers lives onboard, posing a threat to the environment, damaging the ship itself and having a great impact in terms of business losses. Moreover, with the introduction and building of a big number of new ships, their monitoring and inspection from both regulatory bodies and ...

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 ...

Risk-Based Expert System for Through–Life Ship Structural Inspection and Maintenance and New-Build Ship Structural Design (RISPECT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The primary objective of the RISPECT project is to use ship structural inspection results (coating condition, corrosion, cracks and deformation) along with the calculated expected results to guide future inspections required to achieve a minimum structural reliability.This “probabilistic inspection planning” is not new but this project takes the method a stage further to use data from large numbe ...

Surfacing System for Ship Recovery (SuSy)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The propagation of spillages is one of the biggest environmental problems after a ship disaster. Instead of cleaning the dirty areas the SUSY system will avoid the spillages by stabilizing vessels immediately after an accident. The main goal of the project is the development of well known submarine rescue technology into systems usable for merchant ships in emergency situations. The systems for su ...

Breakthrough in European Ship and Shipbuilding Technologies (BESST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"Initiated by EUROYARDS, BESST aims to achieve a breakthrough in competitiveness, environmentally friendliness and safety of EU built ships. Focusing on passenger ships, ferries and mega-yachts, the results will to a large extend be applicable also to other ships. A holistic life cycle performance assessment on ship level will guide the technical developments on system level, clustered in System G ...

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 ...

Ship Evacuation Data and Scenarios (SAFEGUARD)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The collection of human performance data in full-scale ship trials is vital for the calibration and validation of ship based evacuation models. The IMO Fire Protection Sub-Committee in their modification of MSC circ 1033 at the FP51 meeting in February 2007 invited member governments to provide, “…further information on additional scenarios for evacuation analysis and full scale data to be used ...

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 ...

Probabilistic Framework for Onboard Fire-Safety (FIREPROOF)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The traditional fire safety regulations that apply to ship design have been widely described as inadequate in two ways. Firstly they do impose unnecessary and inapplicable constraints on novel designs. Secondly novel designs can have features that do not satisfy the premise of existing rules, thereby setting them free from fire safety rules by default, often leading to unsafe designs. In or ...

Integrated Flooding Control and Standard for Stability and Crises Management (FLOODSTAND)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"The size of new passenger ships is continuously increasing. Bigger size offers bigger opportunities and economics of scale, but when a bigger ship accommodates more passengers there may be a higher risk, if evacuation is needed. Thus, new approaches have to be used and further developed in order to have the flooding under control if the watertight integrity of the ship is lost. In the worst case ...

"Research into effects on cognitive performance of maritime watch-keepers under different watch patterns, workloads & conditions, with reality usage of ships bridge, engine & cargo control simulators" (HORIZON)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

"The project will define and undertake scientific methods for measurement of fatigue in various realistic seagoing scenarios using bridge, engine-room and cargo simulators; will assess the impact of fatigue on decision-making performance and will determine optimal settings for minimising those risks to both ship and seafarer. Three simulator-equipped institutes will collaborate in ensuring that en ...
