Fast ship applications for pod drives (FASTPOD)

Ziel

Recent years have been witnessing a tremendous increase in the volume of large & fast sea transportation and electric driven azimuthing pod-propulsors with precise handling. While the "large & fast commercial ships" and "azimuthing pod drives" have been the most promising solitary EU grown technologies. There has been no attempt to combine these concepts to take further advantage of the prospect-combined technology. The main objective of FASTPOD project is to develop a new design technology to exploit the benefits that can be offered by electric padded drives on commercial large and fast ships in an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly manner. It is expected that the developed technology will provide basis to increase the competitiveness of the EU maritime industries further, as well as improving the efficiency and quality of marine transportation. The project objectives will be achieved in demonstrating the potential of the proposed technology through a number of design case studies for different ship types involving fast Ro-pax, containership and advanced high- speed craft, using numerical and experimental techniques. The main output of the project will be the critical assessment of this design technology and recommendations for its effective implementation
