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 ...
