MISSION targets GHG emissions reductions in the maritime transportation chain, specifically optimizing the port call process. Within the project, integrated port call system solutions are build to increase transparency and communication about resource readiness and estimated arrival times to finally orchestrate the overall port call process. The project contains demonstration cases that will highlight the gains from the system solutions.

In this project, we will conduct the first in-depth mapping and environmental risk assessment of potential secondary environmental effects that may arise from both emissions to the atmosphere and discharges to the marine environment from these CO2 neutral marine fuels. The project includes a thorough review of the properties of CO2 neutral fuels in both air and water, experimental studies of the impact on aquatic organisms, natural degradation mechanisms, their dispersion in both the atmosphere and the marine environment during normal operation and accidents/spillages, and life cycle assessment (LCA).

The project investigates how Chat GPT can be utilised in ship chartering. The project is divided into two work packages: WP1 qualitatively investigates the potentials and barriers to using chat GPT in specific chartering activities across the different segments. WP2 contains a quantitative analysis of how the use of chatGPT affects rates, commissions and transaction patterns over time.

The project is based on the shipping company Hafnia’s initiative with 50/50 gender distribution on four ships. The purpose of the project is to investigate how such a gender balance affects operational health and safety, efficiency, working environment, leadership and teamwork on board. It also examines how to organise ship crews with 50% women in a sustainable way.

There are barriers to transport chains in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak area. The Value4Sea project will help remove or minimise them.

CAPeX will develop and implement a new powerful Materials Acceleration Platform (MAP) for rapid development of materials and a closed-loop data infrastructure where new catalysts and other materials for power-to-X are discovered, synthesized and designed directly for their intended operating conditions.

In the project, DTU will develop tools that can help a bulk shipping company predict market trends so they can deliver the right capacity to the right region. Furthermore, tools will be developed to plan a coherent route plan to ensure that new orders are available at the final destination to avoid deadheading.

MAN Energy Solutions is developing a new two-stroke dual fuel natural gas-diesel marine engine based on new premixed combustion technology. The current project aims to study the methane slip which is one of the main challenges of the premixed technology. The pilot diesel fuel injection parameters will be optimized to obtain higher efficiency and lower emissions.

This project explores how communication, gender, and sustainability affect the cluster performance of the Port of Tema in Ghana.

The objective of GreenHyScale is to pave the way for large scale deployment of electrolysis both onshore and offshore

The project addresses the vital issue of how the oceans can be used sustainably and governed more effectively. The centre of analysis are 3 linked case studies that explore infrastructural flows for effective oceanic governance: maritime shipping routes, undersea cables and marine oil spills.

The purpose of this project is to develop new algorithms and AI methods to optimize the loading of the container vessels. The project also aims at engagning the open research environment with standard descriptions of the problems and the development of new experts to the area.

PhD project at DTU on the use of green fuels for sustainable transport

This project will identify major challenges and opportunities for ports as facilitators of the transition to alternative fuels for shipping and industry. The project has the long-term ambition to establish an international partnership for academic research on the topic.

This PhD project at DTU explores underwater radiated noise prediction for marine propellers.

PhD project at DTU on simulation of wave inducing whipping response of ships.

The project uses digital innovation to monitor RoRo shipping emissions and optimize the industry operational and strategic planning. By doing so, we reduce the fuel consumption of the used vessels, which have the highest impact factor on the GHG emissions produced during maritime shipping.

The project has explored the potential for Danish yards and maritime industry, addressing questions regarding the size and composition of the relevant near-end-of-life fleet, the structure and capabilities of the Danish yards and maritime industry and a deeper analysis of the market for ship recycling in Denmark, including the pricing of end-of-life shipping assets and the nature of transactions.
