Expected Outcomes
- A strengthened European value chain cooperation and integration between equipment manufacturers and large, medium, and small-scale shipyards resulting in enhanced European competitiveness.
- Demonstration of improved shipyard manufacturing processes in small and medium-size shipyards, capable of building waterborne vessels in the EU/EEA.
- Reduced complexity to perform future retrofits of vessels and enabling the later inclusion of several emissions saving technologies and solutions.
- Higher capability and efficiency of European shipyards and equipment manufacturers to meet the increasing need to convert the shipping fleet towards zero-emission and biodiversity friendly maritime transport.
- Making the shipbuilding and retrofitting industry better prepared for building and replicating low-to-zero emission ships.
