WAVES - Wind and Aquaculture Vessels: Emission less Sailing

Funder: InnovateUK
Duration: April 2024 - March 2025

Thanks to the commercial availability of future fuel technologies, as well as innovative Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) which are driving a reduction of power required for ships, it is now realistic to design a zero-emission vessel that is ready for adoption by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Industry. This industry requires additional, more versatile & emission-free vessels to keep up with the growing workload, increasingly varying work scopes, and to help the industry move closer to realising the goals of the Clean Maritime Plan, Operation Zero, and other COP26 targets. This project aims to design and plan for the construction of a zero-emission Offshore Service Vessel, that has the versatility to perform services over multiple sectors of the ORE & aquaculture industries, (e.g., maintenance, research surveys, installation, decommissioning, crew transfer etc.).
