Project description
Setting a course for energy-efficient maritime sector
Shipping is the most efficient means of cargo transportation. But like so many other industries, the shipping industry is under pressure to increase fuel efficiency. In this context, the EU-funded SmartShip project will develop a multi-layer optimisation in the fields of fuel consumption, energy efficiency and emissions control management. Specifically, the project will bring together experts from universities, research institutions and companies in the maritime sector to create an ICT-based framework for the sustainable and automated energy management of ships. The project will make maximum use of currently available technologies in order to deliver a holistic cloud-based maritime performance and monitoring system.
Objective
SmartShip aims to bring together Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) of focused Universities, Research Institutions and Companies oriented into the maritime sector in order to build a holistic integrated ICT-based framework for the sustainable, individualized and completely automated energy management of ships. To accomplish this, it will take advantage of all the know-how that the consortium brings to the project referring to ICT technologies such as Data Analytics, IoT exploitation, DSS use, visualization tools, optimization algorithms and tools and Circular Economy approach methods. Smartship aims to offer a multi-layer optimization in the fields of fuel consumption, energy efficiency and emissions control management, in full respect to the implementation of the requirements of maritime sector regulations and taking into account applications of circular economy concepts in the maritime as well. Knowledge exchange between the partners that are already involved in the maritime sector, the ICT technology industry partners and the academia partners is one of the major Smartship’s objectives and will be materialised through corresponding secondments during the whole project’s timeplan. These synergies aim to build stronger collaboration relationships between the partners with respect to their future exploitation beyond Smartship project. Summing up Smartship will capitalise on available COTS technologies and will deliver an ICT & IoT-enabled holistic cloud-based maritime performance & monitoring system, for the entire lifecycle of a ship, aimed to optimise energy efficiency, emissions reduction and fuel consumption, whist introducing circular economy concepts in the maritime field.
