“CO2 & Other Ship Transport Emissions Abatement by Designing the Network, Infrastructure, and Market for the Use of LNG as Marine Fuel in the Eastern Mediterranean”
A study for the use of LNG as marine fuel for shipping operations and supply chain infrastructure requirements.

POSEIDON MED II aims to facilitate the adoption of the regulatory framework for the LNG bunkering, design of LNG terminal, design and construct an LNG fuelled specific feeder vessel, technical designs and plan approvals for the retrofit/new building of LNG fuelled vessels, develop a sustainable LNG trading and pricing pattern, develop financial instruments to support the port and vessel installations and develop synergies with other economic sectors.

“Preventing Incident and Accident by Safer Ships on the Oceans”: study with pilots’ actions which aims at tackling the challenges and opportunities related to maritime safety and security of on board and on shore operations.

Prototype systems for telemonitoring and management of fleet and seaway security management with RFIDs

“A holistic passenger ship evacuation and rescue ecosystem”: development and evaluation of a sophisticated mass centralised evacuation system, based on a radical re-thinking of Mass Evacuation Vessels (MEVs) combined with an intelligent ecosystem of critical components providing real-time access to and representation of data to establish appropriate evacuation strategies for optimizing the operational planning of the evacuation process on damaged or flooded vessels.

“Exploiting Oceans of Data for Maritime Applications”: enable maritime big data scenarios for EU-based companies, organisations and scientists, through a multi-segment platform that will combine data of different velocity, variety and volume under an interlinked, trusted, multilingual engine to produce a big-data repository of value and veracity back to the participants and local communities.

“Engineering, production and life-cycle management for massive application of Fibre-based materials in large-length ships”: enable the massive application of FBM materials in large-length ships by overcoming the above mentioned challenges. In order to achieve this objective, the project will develop, identify and qualify FRP materials for different applications, elaborating innovative design procedures and guidelines supported on new validated software analysis tools. Standardized efficient production methodologies, specially designed for the FRP based large-length ships, will be implemented and demonstrated, together with the rest of technologies generated in the project, by delivering a large ship’s block prototype.

“Integrated Green Life-Cycle Management of Waste Oils and Petroleum Residues”: Creation of an integrated and environmentally responsible method to manage the oil waste and residues generated by ships and industries in Greece.

“Green Retrofitting of Existing Ships”: Research on energy efficiency as an integral part of the life-cycle a ship. This was achieved with modelling and simulation of energy flows onboard for various operational conditions and for extended periods of time.
