Notable achievements of Green Marine:
- Identification and Selection of a Ro-Ro vessel from CalMac Ferries for demonstrations, namely MV Coruisk
- Detailed HAZOP/HAZID analysis of proposed Green Marine technologies to be demonstrated on-board MV Coruisk
- Identification and rental of appropriate space at Petronav Shipmanagement LTD (allocated subcontractor in Green Marine) premises within the Port of Limassol to host the land-based measurement campaigns
- CMMI, in order to facilitate the project land-based campaigns (unforeseen action), identified and procured a marine genset with similar specifications to the identified auxiliary engine on-board MV Coruisk
- Design, engineering and lab-based testing of core Green Marine technologies, namely: 1) Carbon capture via membrane pathway (SINTEF), 2) Carbon capture via chemical absorption (CCM), 3) SepaRaptor for flue gases (SMP/WPS), 4) SepaRaptor with UV (SMP/WPS) for killing viruses/bacteria and sterile immunity, 5) ThermoElectric Element for energy harvesting (SMP/WPS), and 6) preparation of catalyst regeneration
- Definition and finalisation of Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) per technological solution (chemical absorption and precipitation, membranes with SepaRaptor, TEE) including the marine genset
- Assessment via desktop analysis and surveying the available literature and eventual exclusion of syngas on-board production (including corresponding pathways to produce CO and H2) and eventual re-injection in the auxiliary engine for the candidate vessel chosen (MV Coruisk)
- CMMI initiated the design of a bypass actuation system (which will act as a flue gas override system and to provide flue gases of 50 -150 Nm3/hr to the Green Marine technologies) (unforeseen action) to comply with safety requirements requested by CalMac
- Planning of land-based measurement campaign activities for the project and eventual demonstration on-board the vessel in accordance with its dry-docking schedule
- Development, continuous monitoring and updating of KPIs and end-system requirements
- Preliminary modelling of core Green Marine technologies; including CFD calculations of bypass actuation system, process modelling, lifecycle assessments, technoeconomic evaluations etc
- API definition needed for the software tool catalogue
- Development of Project Management Handbook and Data Management Plan
- Regular monthly meetings to promote WP interaction, scientific and technical support with an emphasis on RRI and Quality Assurance as well as engagement of all consortium partners to leverage multidisciplinary expertise to find solutions and how to move forward
- Hosting of internal workshops to educate etc Green Marine technology developers regarding Class and Flag rules and requirements in terms of risk assessments
- Synergies with other EU funded projects; namely RetroFit55, HyEkoTank, and Alliance4XR
- Setup of the project website (

https://www.linkedin.com/company/green-marine-project/(öffnet in neuem Fenster) and YouTube;
https://www.youtube.com/@GreenMarineproject(öffnet in neuem Fenster)) with large activity and setup of a project email address (
info@greenmarine-project.eu)
- Creation of project video and 360o video of the forward and aft engine rooms and the ventilation room. The 360o video is available to view via CMMI’s VR headsets
- Attendance to Conferences, Workshops, Exhibitions and other events to promote Green Marine solutions and expected benefits to the shipping industry
- Publication and release of flyers, newsletters and press releases
