GreenDeal validation

Each solution has consequences for both the construction of the ship and the operation on board. This could include the required space on board, the layout of the ship and integration with other systems, as well as the user-friendliness during operation, the total costs and therefore very important the ROI of the ship itself. These factors are different for each ship type, operational condition or length of sailing routes. All these different factors are weighed against each other in order to make a well-founded choice. It is therefore important that the information and data about the effects of these solutions is reliable. In the Green Deal validation, we ensure that validation makes available information of new sustainable technologies reliable. The validations are carried out by the knowledge institutes TNO and Marin. Validation means an assessment of the technology’s performance claim (% emission reduction).
