TrAM workshop: Stability and Safety in electric vessels
2021-06-09 15:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Oslo)
Stab&S conference 2021: First international conference on stability and safety of ships and ocean vehicles
As a result of ambitious climate targets and the need for more sustainable transport solutions in cities around the world, the number of battery electric ferries and fast ferries is expected to grow rapidly in the years to come.
In the Horizon2020 project TrAM (2018-2022, https://tramproject.eu ), 14 European partners are developing the world’s first zero emission fast catamaran ferry through advanced technology, modular production, and optimisation techniques. One demonstrator vessel will be physically built to operate a multi-stop commuter route into Stavanger, Norway from 2022. Construction will start in May 2021, and the demonstrator will be a fully electric fast passenger ferry with zero emission to air and sea.
In this webinar representatives from the TrAM project and other initiatives related to electric vessels operating on green fuels will share information about their development work and issues related to safety and stability.

Webinar: Modular Design & Engineering – Sustainable, low-impact platform-based ship design
2021-02-18 15:30 - 17:00 UTC
Worldwide competition is fierce, and in order to maintain world-leadership in complex, value-added and highly specialised vessels, European shipbuilders must develop tailor-made innovative concepts that are efficient to design and build.
The NAVAIS project is developing a platform-based modular product family approach supported by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. This concept will increase efficiency in vessel design and flexibility in production networks. The project focuses on passenger/road ferries and multi-use workboats integrating sustainability in the design of the ships. NAVAIS will support the transfer from an engineered-to-order business model to an assemble-to-order business model, which will allow shorter process lead-times, constant quality, reduced design and production costs and better integration of the SME supply chain, thereby increasing competitiveness of the European shipbuilding industry.
In this series of 4 webinars, we will not only inform you on the progress the project is making, but also get you up to speed on several other related developments, including the EC-funded TrAM project and inspiration from outside the marine industry.
In the second webinar, Tobias Seidenberg from Fraunhofer IEM will present findings in the H2020 TrAM project.
