A multi-platform catamaran to serve as:
- Service crew vessel;
- Multipurpose survey vessel.
This innovative and flexible Multiplatform Catamaran design, allows to develop a wide range of different tasks adapting its basic configuration to each specific mission profile thanks to modules implementation and equipment exchange. Besides the hull forms and structure improvements, its Hybrid propulsion with modular Energy Storage solution depending on each operational profile, contributes to the efficient and eco-friendly operation of the boat. Therefore, Life Cycle efficiency (Design, Production and Operation) is ensured.
Main achievements:
The operation cost reduction is estimated at around 27-50 %. (impact 2: reduction of costs by at least 20% compared to current practices taking the entire process including increased productivity and vessel cost into consideration.)
- The increase of the vessel operation hours is estimated at 26-50% due to the reduction of the diesel engine maintenance time.
- The emissions reduction associated to the fuel reduction and operation with the hybrid propulsion system is expected between 20 and 50%, depending from the operational profile
Major benefits:
- The design is optimized for a cost effective small series of boats. ”. (impact 2: reduction of costs by at least 20% compared to current practices taking the entire process including increased productivity and vessel cost into consideration.)
- Advanced adoption of simulation Tools, digital as well as new technologies across Design, Production and Operation.
- Hybrid Propulsion with Energy Storage (Li Batteries) easily customizable to optimize operation and reduce OPEX as well as improving ecological footprint thanks to electric mode operation.
- It allows a wide range of effective operational profiles with reduced energy consumption and emissions.
- IoT implementation through LINCOLN Platform including edge gateways on-board IT equipment for vessels and their monitoring systems.
- Innovative Turbine Transfer System, improving Safety and Transfer Window.
