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 ...

Developing Smart Technologies for Productivity Improvement of European Small and Medium Sized Shipyards (SMARTYARDS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The SMARTYards project aims to improve the productivity of European small and medium sized shipyards and related subcontractors working with them by at least 20%. This will be achieved by improving knowledge and technological skills, needed to survive in a tough global competition and to provide innovative products. This is particularly important as the technology gap between larger and smaller E ...

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 ...

Using Recycled Glass for Pressure Blasting Steel Surfaces and the Waste Produced in Firing Heavy Clay Constructed Products (GREENBLAST)
Start date: Jul 28, 2012, End date: Jul 27, 2014,
Currently waste glass is collected from homes (and businesses) for recycling. Due to the lack of demand there is an excess of green coloured glass which must be stored or sent to landfill. This project proposes an eco-innovative process and business model to make use of this in two different industries, effectively double recycling the waste glass, as described below:i) Waste glass can be used in ...

Development and proof of new approaches for through-life asset management based on next generation of materials and production technology (ThroughLife)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
Within this framework, the main objective of the project is to develop and prove new approaches for through-life asset management for selected technologies and application scenarios.This will be done by considering all life cycle phases of the technologies concerned in view of their cost efficiency, environmental performance and safety. Special emphasis will be given to the identification, elabora ...
