Project scope :
Retrofitting commercial vessels with green technologies
Maritime supply chains emit a whopping 940 million tonnes of CO2 each year. In Europe, shipping is a major CO2 emitter, contributing to more than 3 % of the total CO2 emissions in the EU. In this context, the EU-funded WHISPER project will bring together a consortium of experts from around Europe to develop a modular retrofit solution. It includes a wind solar hybrid power system to reduce auxiliary engine emissions. A tilting wingsail system is also included in order to provide wind-assisted propulsion. By developing the novel modular retrofit solution, WHISPER will also test viability by demonstrating efficiency savings of more than 20 %.

Long-distance maritime transport provides 80-90% of global trade, but strict regulations around NOx, SOx and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are set to cause major technological shifts. Whilst the pathway to achieve the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) target of 50%...
