"Green, the environmental framework has changed, will change and keeps changing until all environmental aspects are dealt with. Perspective from class and how we can assist the industry."

Trends and survey in Innovative Ship’s Networks

"The designer of a ship network has to meet the functional specifications. In this taks he has to work with the available building blocks and he has to observe additional requirements. Some trends on the functional and additional requirements as well as on the available components are presented. For a green ship on top of these these purely technological aspects, human behaviour and legal regulations also play a role."

"The Rainbow Warrior III  is designed and will be build  primarily to sail (thus using wind energy instead of fossil fuels), with the option in unsuitable weather conditions to switch over to engine-powered, diesel or diesel-electric propulsion. The A-frame design of the mast and the positioning of the sails has been optimized for efficiency and the shape of the hull has been designed for maximum fuel conservation. The presentation will explain the design process, environmental requirements and propulsion efficiency."

‘Today about tomorrow, a matter of choices’

"Zero Emission Ships are more than a vision. It's a believe in a better world. We can save energy, we can reduce emissions and we can simultaneously improve comfort. The first step we have to make is introducing Energy Storage on board of ships. The advantages are clear, but where is the spirit of enterprise?"
