Description
This funding is for projects that increase efficiency and reduce emissions of marine and inland waterway vessels, and demonstrate robust business models and strategies for deployment.

Results of the project are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
- Develop at least three market-ready vessel designs using innovative emission reduction technologies for different shipping sectors in line with the EU's "Fit for 55" package.
- Quantitatively assess these designs to ensure significant emissions reductions, aligned with EU and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets, using measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
- Facilitate continuous improvement of existing vessels by measuring and benchmarking operational profiles.
- Evaluate emission reduction technologies' life cycle impact and retrofit options for environmental efficiency.
- Support the rapid transition of maritime vessels to higher energy efficiency and lower emissions.
- Create strong business models for these designs to ensure successful commercial deployment in Europe by 2030.
