Modular and platform-based ship design
6 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 5 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- CENTER OF MARITIME TECHNOLOGIES GGMBH
Hamburg-based maritime research SME specializing in modular ship design, advanced materials, and digital manufacturing for European shipyards.
“Central theme across NAVAIS (platform-based design, customer-decoupling point), RAMSSES (modularisation, standardisation), and Mari4_YARD (modular manufacturing).”
PrimarySMEDE5 projects - DAMEN RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION BV
R&D arm of Damen Shipyards specializing in modular ship design, maritime hydrogen fuel systems, and large-scale vessel battery architectures.
“NAVAIS focused on standardised modular shipbuilding with customer-decoupling points; SEABAT applied modular architecture to battery systems for vessels.”
PrimaryNL4 projects - DAMEN GLOBAL SUPPORT BV
Major Dutch shipbuilder contributing industrial shipyard expertise to EU projects on hydrogen, battery, and modular design for zero-emission vessels.
“NAVAIS focused on standardised, platform-based design for ferries and workboats; SEABAT addressed scalable modular battery architecture for vessels.”
PrimaryNL4 projects - SCHUNK TRANSIT SYSTEMS GMBH
German industrial specialist in electric transit charging systems and modular ship design, bridging road and maritime transport electrification.
“NAVAIS (2018-2022) addressed new-generation ferry and workboat design using modular, standardised, platform-based approaches with attention to underwater radiated noise — a signature of electric or hybrid propulsion.”
DE2 projects - MARINE ENGINEERING SRL
Romanian naval engineering firm specialising in green ship retrofitting, modular vessel design, and low-emission shipbuilding for ferries and workboats.
“NAVAIS (2018-2022) focused specifically on modular design, standardised platforms, and customer-decoupling point methodologies applied to ferry and workboat construction.”
PrimaryRO2 projects - DAMEN SCHELDE NAVAL SHIPBUILDING BV
Dutch naval and commercial shipyard delivering modular vessel platforms, advanced material validation, and low-impact ship design for European consortia.
“Both RAMSSES and NAVAIS address modularisation and platform-based design, reflecting Damen's core product strategy of configurable, standardised vessel families.”
