Our project aims to transform the maritime transport industry by accelerating the electrification of sea travel. Aligned with global efforts to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions as set forth in the Paris Agreement, we will develop cutting-edge technologies that will enable cleaner and more sustainable vessels.Ships and other vessels, with their unique characteristics and operational requirements pose distinct challenges that require tailored solutions. Our project focuses on overcoming these challenges and introduces novel concepts to propel the maritime sector towards a more sustainable future.The project consists of four major aspects that will contribute to the overall goal of sustainable marine transport. 1) An advanced exploration and development of novel drag reduction techniques when foiling. 2) The development of an electric propulsion system specifically designed to meet the conditions of foiling boats. 3) Addressing the challenge of limited range, focusing on a modular expandable and swappable multi-energy backend. 4) Development of an offshore recharging technology to extend the range of electric ships and overcome the constraints of onshore marina space for concurrent charging.Through these technologies, our project aims to drive the transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly maritime industry. We are excited to embark on this transformative journey, promoting cleaner maritime transportation, reducing carbon emissions, and contributing to the preservation of our oceans and the well-being of our planet.

我们的项目旨在通过加速海上旅行的电气化来改变海上运输行业。与《巴黎协定》中规定的全球努力打击气候变化并减少碳排放的努力保持一致，我们将开发尖端的技术，这些技术将使更清洁，更可持续的船只具有独特的特征和运营要求，构成了独特的挑战，这些挑战构成了需要量身定制的解决方案。我们的项目着重于克服这些挑战，并介绍了新颖的概念，以推动海事部门迈向更可持续的未来。该项目由四个主要方面组成，这些方面将有助于可持续海洋运输的总体目标。 1）挫败时新型阻力减少技术的先进探索和开发。 2）专门设计用于满足挫败船的条件的电动推进系统的开发。 3）应对有限范围的挑战，重点是可扩展且可互换的多能后端。 4）开发了一项海上充电技术，以扩大电船的范围，并克服陆上码头空间的限制，以进行并发充电。通过这些技术，我们的项目旨在推动过渡到更可持续和环保的海上行业。我们很高兴踏上这一变革性的旅程，促进清洁的海上运输，减少碳排放，并为我们的海洋和地球的福祉做出贡献。
