Imagine trying to upgrade an old car to be electric without knowing which parts to change first. This project creates a guidebook and a digital calculator for ship owners to find the cheapest and cleanest ways to upgrade their vessels. It tests ten different real-world scenarios to see which energy-saving tech actually works best for different types of boats.
Ship owners struggle to identify which energy-saving upgrades are actually cost-effective and compliant with strict EU and IMO emission laws.
A web-based digital platform with a decision support system and a detailed roadmap of 10 specific vessel use cases.
If you are a vessel operator dealing with strict EU emission limits — this project developed a decision support system that benchmarks energy efficiency technologies to ensure your fleet meets Fit-for-55 targets.
If you are a river transport company dealing with high fuel costs — this project developed 6 retrofit use cases that identify the most cost-effective ways to install energy-saving tech on existing boats.
If you are a shipyard dealing with the need for carbon-neutral designs — this project developed 4 new vessel design use cases that optimize energy use throughout the ship's entire lifetime.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project focuses on identifying the most cost-effective implementation of energy efficiency technologies.
The project is designing 10 specific use cases (6 retrofits and 4 new designs) to ensure the technologies are matched with end users for practical implementation.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project involves a consortium of 23 partners including 16 industry players.
It is specifically designed for EU 'Fit for 55' compliance and IMO indices such as CII/DCS, EEXI, and EEDI.
The project period runs from 2025-01-01 to 2028-06-30.
The project is heavily industry-driven, with 16 industrial partners (70% of the consortium) and 8 SMEs. This high industry ratio, combined with partners from 10 different countries, suggests the resulting roadmap and digital platform will be grounded in commercial reality rather than just academic theory.
