| Description: | SAFECRAFT’S OVERALL GOAL IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE THE SAFETY AND VIABILITY AND ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE FUELS (SAFS) IN WATERBORNE TRANSPORT. IT DEMONSTRATES FOUR TECHNOLOGIES, ACTING AS SAF ENABLERS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF OCEANGOING AND SHORT SEA SHIPPING VESSELS, BOTH NEWBUILDING AND RETROFITS. SAFS USED DURING HANDLING, STORAGE, AND FOR MAIN PROPULSION INCLUDE LIQUID & COMPRESSED GREEN H2, AND TWO GREEN H2 CARRIERS, LOHCS AND AMMONIA. SAFS USED WILL BE DEMONSTRATED ON A BULK CARRIER AND ASSESSED AND VALIDATED THROUGH DETAILED DESKTOP STUDIES FOR FOUR OTHER TYPES OF VESSELS TYPICAL IN EU PORTS. FOR THE DEMO VESSEL, H2 WILL BE USED AS THE PRIMARY FUEL SOURCE FOR A GENERATOR SET PROVIDING POWER TO A SHAFT MOTOR (POWER-TAKE-IN) IN PARALLEL WITH THE M/E, THUS COVERING PART OF SHIP’S PROPULSION NEEDS. SAFECRAFT A-Z APPROACH IN UTILIZING SAFS, INCLUDING BUNKERING, STORAGE, HANDLING AND FUEL CONSUMPTION ONBOARD, AND THE ISSUANCE OF APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE FOR THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN PROCESSES, WILL ACCELERATE THEIR IMPLEMENTATION BASED ALSO ON THE LCA. |
