SFI Smart Maritime Annual Report 2016

Abstract

Research activity from all five Work packages (WP) is in good progress, with 24 additional pub-lications in 2016. The joint activity between the research team and industry partners has flour-ished during 2016. First of all, five technical sub-projects (SPs), complementary in terms of disci-pline as well as partner involvement, have been conducted, leading to the main scientific achievements presented in this annual report. These are Main dimensions and hull form, Ma-rine hybrid power systems, Fuel and abatement technologies, Energy saving devices and tech-nology, Analysis of full-scale data, Simulation of long-term ship performance, and Ship transport environmental assessment model. Furthermore, two large network meetings were held in Mars and October, gathering around 40 participants. These 2-day meetings are central to the communication among Smart Maritime par-ticipants, to the involvement of our industry partners, and therefore to the overall success of the Centre.
