Sign up for SMI webinar on Vessel Integration
Join SMI in partnership with Seawork for the 2nd webinar in the series on 4th April from 10-11am BST.
The next session will focus on The Journey to Net Zero – Vessel Integration.
In April 2018, IMO members agreed on a target to cut the shipping sector’s overall CO2 output by 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2008. Whilst much focus to date has been on the individual technologies and fuel debates, in order to meet the IMO targets the solutions will need to be integrated into the vessels.
This vessel integration will require consideration of the challenges throughout the lifecycle of the vessels; from design and build right the way through to disposal.
For the maritime industry to reach its 2050 targets and continue to manufacture ships for the future it is imperative that all lifecycle phases are considered and that the embodied carbon is accounted for, allowing the correct equipment selection to be made.
The talks in this session will provide examples of recent ship integration challenges as well as outlining the tools and decision processes required to understand the impact of the different options.
Joining moderator – Tim Currass, Programme Director for SMI, are expert speakers:
- Nick Williams Naval Engineer, BMT
- Chris Smith, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Exeter
- Gavin Forward, Senior Project Manager, Houlder
