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 ...

DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW COST, LOW POWER CONSUMPTION SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING LIQUID ICE FOR FISHING (RECOICE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
The aim of RECOICE is to produce ice without use of additional power from fishing boats. RECOICE is based on a heat recovery system that will provide heat (fuel) necessary to drive a Stirling engine. Since heat will be captured from the exhaust pipe of the boat’s existing diesel engine, it will not negatively impact fuel consumption. It is clearly seen, that operating an on-board liquid ice making ...

Human Factors in Risk-Based Ship Design Methodology (FAROS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Up to 96% of maritime accidents (collision, grounding, fire, occupational accidents) are routinely attributed to human error. However, rather than assessing the ship performance in terms of global design factors such as ship motions and noise, the human element studies have primarily focused on local design features (e.g., bridge design) that are relatively easy to fix and tune towards required ef ...

High Integrity Low Distortion Assembly (HILDA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
"HILDA will deliver a cost effective, low distortion welding process for EU shipyards to allow them to maintain competitiveness and produce light, strong, more fuel efficient vessels. The solid state technique will enable the modular construction of dimensionally accurate, high strength, corrosion resistant fabrications across the entire range of steels, enabling the introduction of stronger, toug ...
