ØKO-Ø - small carbon composite ferries

Henrik Riisgaard 1.12.2011

Seminar 10

Two MARKIS organizers for this session:

• Henrik Riisgaard, Teaching Associate Professor, Aalborg UniversityEnvironment, innovation, networks, policy(No maritime background)

• Gitte NørgaardBusiness Development ConsultantFrederikshavn

Markis platform• Innovation

• Competence enhancement

• Communication

• Transnational collaboration

} For sustainable maritime Development in Kattegat & Skagerak

Agenda for the next 120 minutes• Introduction and MARKIS perspective:

+ • Organisational aspects in a triple helix set-up - Involving stakeholders and

overcoming barriersHenrik Riisgaard, Aalborg University

• Design and technical specificationsNiels Kyhn Hjørnet , Niels Hjørnet - Yacht Design & Composite Engineering

Small Break (?)• Innovative Environmental Friendly Ferry Construction from a Shipowner’s

Perspective Mats Hjortberg, Coriolis AB

• Handling of fire risks in composite shipsTommy Hertzberg, Head of Section, SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden

• Discussion

The idea is: To work out a basis for comparing a smaller

passenger ferry built of carbon composite and steel. life cycle costs environmental impact

To inspire shipowners and naval architects to consider modern materials for ship building when fuel consumption and environmental impact have high priority.

The aim of the Øko-Ø ferry project

June 2010: Three small Danish companies share a common interest for small composite ferries

Dec. 2010 1st MARKIS Conference: The Danish companies meet Swedish Experts

Spring 2011 Three meetings clarified the idea, identified partners and drafted project activties

May 2011 Application from 8 partners (DK+SE) incl. 18 letters of interest. Budget 3,66 M DKK

Autumn 2011: Funding from: • Västra Götaland Region• Danish Maritime Fund• Private participantsProject starts

Timeline for the Øko-Ø Ferry

What if similar advanced techniques were applied to ensure environmental improvements in mainstream segments?

As if environmental impacts matter

Four outputs from Øko-Ø:1. A general arrangement, scantling, propulsion calculation, specification for a

carbon composite ferry.2. Rule 17 analysis. Which alternative constructions and arrangements are

necessary to get approval for a small displacement lightweight composite ferry?

3. Life Cycle Cost analysis. Assessing total cost of ownership and pay-back time for extra initial costs (design and construction)

4. Life Cycle Assessment – mapping environmental inputs and outputs throughout the whole life time of the ferry and an assessment of the environmental impacts of these. Special attention to the importance of material choice for changed environmental profile.

= No real ferry, only paper

Not a commercial project- No ferry is actually constructed (the reference ferry

was just bought) - All materials and analysis will be publicly available - Maximum dissimination of results and publicity

The real anticipated outcome:- Change of perspective among shipowners and

authorities- Competence building in industry- Capacity building in Danish authorities - The basis for a follow-up commercial project (=real

ferries)
