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快海上旅行的电气化来改变海上运输业。我们将与《巴黎协定》规定的应对气候变化和减少碳排放的全球努力保持一致，开发尖端技术，使船舶更清洁、更可持续。船舶和其他船舶具有独特的特点和操作要求，构成了独特的挑战，需要量身定做的解决方案。我们的项目侧重于克服这些挑战，并引入新的概念，以推动海事部门走向更可持续的未来。该项目包括四个主要方面，将有助于实现可持续海洋运输的总体目标。1)对新型翼缘减阻技术的深入探索和发展。2)开发一种专门为满足搁浅船只条件而设计的电力推进系统。3)解决续航受限的挑战，专注于模块化、可扩展、可交换的多能源后端。4)开发海上充电技术，以扩大电动船舶的航程，并克服岸上码头空间可同时充电的限制。通过这些技术，我们的项目旨在推动向更可持续和更环保的航运业过渡。我们很高兴能够踏上这一变革之旅，促进更清洁的海上运输，减少碳排放，为保护我们的海洋和我们地球的福祉做出贡献。
