ETI seeks partners for commercial deployment of marine vessel technology modelling system

The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) is seeking partners for a project which will develop a tool to provide accurate and transparent data on the performance of different types of vessels for use by stakeholders involved in the shipping industry. One of the major challenges of reducing carbon emissions from the shipping industry is convincing vessel financiers to invest in technologies that will make existing and future vessels more fuel efficient.

The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) is seeking partners for a project which will develop a tool to provide accurate and transparent data on the performance of different types of vessels for use by stakeholders involved in the shipping industry.

One of the major challenges of reducing carbon emissions from the shipping industry is convincing vessel financiers to invest in technologies that will make existing and future vessels more fuel efficient. Although a number of fuel efficient technologies already exist, these are not being preferentially chosen in the marketplace today.

The ETI intends to develop and procure a project in which a variety of data sources are combined to develop the tool. The ETI will use an Expression of Interest (EoI) to consult with active and interested parties before finalising their exact scope and approach. The project will aim to establish the best metrics and presentation approach to communicate with stakeholders, identify and assess third party data relating to various fuel efficient vessel technologies and develop an accurate and transparent vessel model using suitably verified data.

Any EoI should be submitted before 14:00 on Friday 17 February 2017. The document can be viewed on the ETI %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal website Visit Website Page false http://www.eti.co.uk/news/eti-seeks-partners-to-develop-and-support-the-commercial-deployment-of-a-marine-vessel-technology-modelling-system false false%>.

The ETI will review the EoIs received and shape the project before a formal Request for Proposals is issued.

    The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has released the industry's first major comparative analysis of roll stability systems based on carrier operational data. The institute’s analysed crash rates, crash costs, and technology costs for roll stability control (RSC) and electronic stability control (ESC) systems compared to vehicles without any roll stability systems technology. The research, based on data from over 135,000 heavy trucks, indicated that installation of RSC technology may resul
