EffShip 
Project areas
The project is a combined Research, Technological development and Demonstration (RTD) project. financed by Vinnova. The project addresses the area “Efficient energy use” for shipping, and also the area “Sustainable use of of natural assets”.
Vision
The EffShip project is based on the vision of a sustainable and successful maritime transport industry – one which is energy-efficient and has minimal environmental impacts.Objectives
Specific project goals include improving the efficiency of the ship machinery, introducing alternative marine fuels, using wind energy as a complementary propulsion force and developing applicable technology for reducing the emissions of CO2, NOx , SOx and Particulate Matter.Expected outcome
The project will result in solutions with respect to maritime fuels, energy efficiency and emission reduction technology that will contribute to the fulfillment of EU’s and the Swedish Government’s climate goals of 20% more efficient energy usage, 40% reduction of green house gas emissions, a minimum of 10% renewable energy in the transport sector in year 2020 and to fulfill and exceed upcoming international rules.In the project, there will be full scale tests of some of the developed technologies as well as a complete ship design including functional design of the best technologies.
The project results will be disseminated and exploited through the nine partners of the project consortium.
Platform design
The project results will be implemented in the EffShip platform designs representing state of the art- EffShip roro platform
