Air assisted off shore supply and service vessels

Tildelt: kr 0,10 mill.

ESI proprietary technology Air Supported Vessel (ASV) has been developed over a 10-year period with focus on smaller to medium size boats and crafts. It has been an ambition for the stakeholders to adapt the patented ASV technology within other segments. The project wants to target typical larger service vessels such as off shore supply- and specialised ships. Being able to develop a new State-of-The-Art design is the driving force behind such a project. The project looks to develop a new modern ship des ign and construct a 15-20 meter long scale model (ratio about 1:6). The model will be fully operational with air-assisted system, propulsion and other equipments to measure fluid dynamics, resistance and other parameters. It will be equipped with a new ad apted air lubricant / air assisted system that will have a different purposes such as improved manoeuvrability and stability for off shore activities, improved fuel economics and speed. Europe has today several challenges on its hands. The worsening econ omical climate is threatening and countries within EU are required to support each other. Creating new ventures, nurture business ideas, knowledge exchange and cooperating beyond borders can help expanding the sustainable business. The building of these c lusters will improve the growth within European markets, it will inspire other to create similar cooperations and ultimately compete with external companies outside EU. Construction of the targeted air assisted hulls will be according to International Ma ritime Organisation (IMO) and class requirements. The initial hull geometries and design lines for the targeted ship type will be prepared. Project period is estimated to be 18-24 months. The overall budget has not yet been finalised. Once a more detaile d work plan has been prepared, more will be known about each participants role and time required for each company.
