Ship Performance

The research area is related to the environmental conditions exposed to ships and offshore structures and its impact on safe and energy efficient operation. In the context of alternative maritime energy systems, the overarching objective is the assessment and optimization of the ship operational efficiency for various transport task and operational conditions. This includes also the evaluation of the feasibility and operational efficiency of alternative maritime energy systems in the context of ship operation at sea, i.e., evaluating the impact of the alternative energy systems on the operational use of different types of ships and vice versa.
