eCTV - Fully Electric Offshore Windfarm Support

如果我们要让我们的海洋部门去碳化，让现有吨位恢复活力是绝对必要的。建造新的是一回事，但我们不能忘记旧的吨位。首先，造船业是非常碳密集型的。此外，在目前的经济环境下，由于材料成本和交货期的增加，这可能是具有挑战性的。利用现有吨位使我们有机会使现有吨位对我们的市场更有用，并减少其日常运营的碳排放。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，以及研究减少阻力的技术，如箔片和传输系统。我们这项研究的重点是eCTV，使这项技术并提供它，打开了严重的船舶排放减少的途径。预计这将为更多的重振项目打开大门，并支持未来的新建造成为电动汽车而不是柴油船。

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
