Modular GA concept design configuration for air supported fast off shore crew-, service- and support vessel.

Tildelt: kr 0,10 mill.

Through a continued focus on R&D, design and engineering development it is an ambition for the stakeholders to adapt the patented ASV technology within other segments. The project will target the fast off shore crew-, service and support vessel segment wi thin the 20-60 meter range and develop a complete product that includes hull drawings with air support technology, general arrangement (GA) and concept design with a new developed modular product concept. Improved fuel economics and reduced environmental impact drives the innovation and development of a new State-of-The-Art (SOA) design. The project differs from other ASV projects as it looks to introduce a modular concept of the hull and GA arrangement giving the customer an option and flexibility in te rms of size and function. From a new air supported hull design series the customers will be able add optional modules allowing a customer specific configuration to meet exact requirements. Through testing and computer simulations the project will improve the air support and soft motion hull design with improved fuel economics and speed. The project also looks to improve manoeuvrability and stability for off shore vessels. Construction of the targeted air assisted hulls will be according to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and class requirements. Shipbuilding within Europe has today several challenges on its hands. The worsening economical 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. Most new technological endeavours will need economical start up assistance to materialise, particularly when the initiative comes from S MEs and not larger industrial conglomerates.
