Progress on the LL4 STARBULK Bulkers-centric DT
In the context of DT4GS, Starbulk selected one of their big size vessels, the m/v Maharaj, being a Newcastlemax-size vessel with cargo capacity of about 210,000 mtons. Starbulk has managed to install onboard Maharaj a high frequency data collection system, named VPM. The VPM system is consisted of: In addition to the “engine room data”, […]
Robust benchmarking mechanisms for world fleet decarbonisation with reference to each decarbonisation technology addressed in DT4GS!
The above robust benchmarking mechanisms for world fleet are in alignment with the IMO DCS & EU MRV reporting requirements, the Green Corridor Benchmarking Methodology, the “Shipping KPIs” and the related standard. The sub-task was developed according to the following key points: 1) Definition of relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In this first phase, relevant […]
A report on the final outputs of the Transition Challenges, Enabling Factors & DT4GS actors
The aim of this sub-task was to define the macro-environment enablers and challenges for DT4GS and to elicit methods, models and governance related to the economic viability of DT4GS, considering financial levers (i.e., carbon credits, Green Taxes, Transition Finance) in the context of the latest EU disclosures, and adoption strategies in line with the UN […]
Executive summary of DT4GS Value-oriented Analysis in enabling Shipping Decarbonisation
The deliverable presents and describes a value-oriented analysis in enabling shipping decarbonization. This is achieved through framing the key decarbonization enablers as discussed in the scientific and industrial bibliography, its risks and opportunities, potential transition challenges and headwinds, stakeholders and a deep dive on decarbonization imperatives – regulation, financing (i.e., carbon credits, Green Taxes, etc) […]
Hull and robotics inspection models
For task 1.2.3, GLAFCOS partner has highlighted the critical importance of inspecting a ship’s hull condition and maintaining clean cargo holds. We discussed the detrimental effects of biofouling on vessel performance, efficiency, and environmental impact, emphasizing the need for thorough assessments and prompt action. Furthermore, we stressed the significance of clean cargo holds in preventing […]
