eCTV - Fully Electric Offshore Windfarm Support

如果我们要减少海洋部门的碳排放，就绝对有必要重新激活现有的吨位。建造新的是一回事，但我们不能忘记旧的吨位。首先，造船是非常碳密集的。此外，在当前的经济环境下，随着材料成本和交货时间的增加，这可能是一个挑战。利用现有的吨位，我们有机会使现有的吨位更适合我们的市场，并减少日常运营的碳排放。这项可行性研究将使我们能够研究和分析多种推进和储能系统，并研究减阻技术，如箔片和传输系统。我们这项研究的重点是一个eCTV，使技术和交付它打开道路，以严重的船舶减排。预计这将为更多的再能源项目打开大门，并支持未来的新建造成为eCTV，而不是柴油船

Re-Energising existing tonnage is absolutely necessary if we are to de-carbonise our marine sector. It is one thing building new but we must not forget about the older tonnage. First and foremost shipbuilding is very carbon intensive. Further in the current economic climate it can be challenging with increasing costs and lead-time on materials. Using existing tonnage gives us the opportunity to make existing tonnage more useful for our market and reduce the carbon output for it's daily operations.This feasibility study will enable us to research and analyse multiple propulsion and energy storage systems as well as look at resistance reduction technology such as foils and transfer systems. Our focus for this study is an eCTV, enabling the technology and delivering it to open the pathway to serious vessel emission reduction. It is anticipated that this will open the door for more Re-Energising projects as well as supporting future new builds to become eCTVs rather than being diesel vessels
