Vessel efficiency call
Topics we are interested in leading:
Light weight / reduced maintenance of equipment and machinery onboard ships
by using composites
Ship energy consumption and onboard management efficiency
Low carbon shipping:
o Modelling the global shipping system
o Technologies for low carbon shipping
o Shipping, ports and logistics
o Shipping economics and life cycle costs
o Regulation, policy and the shipping stakeholder space
o Operations for low carbon shipping
365 vessel efficiency: no breakdowns by fabricating the components on board
using additive manufacturing
Develop new coatings with combined self-healing (SH), antifouling (AF) and
anticorrosive (AC) properties

4. TW (Bill) Page –recent MD and President of Wartsila in the UK and
member of Wartsila Ship Power and Oil and Gas international
management -19 years and up to date experience in all areas of
ship power and propulsion -Now MD of Whale.
What?
I am bringing new innovative technology to the marine industry
that is going to enhance reliability and enable ship machinery
condition and efficiency to be monitored and improved in new
ways.
How?
Research and development, new innovations, from
Huddersfield University department of Computing and
engineering.
Seeking
Collaborative partners to implement our new ideas, or that
need our kind of real life experience and access to innovative
technology.

7. •The portion of total energy consumption using fossil fuels is around 34%
so how do we make fuel go “longer” ?
•Emulsion fuel technology is considered one of the most promising
solutions
•Possible Nox reductions up to 60%
•Possible PM reductions up to 80%
•Possible fuel cost reductions up to 10-15%
•ROI on equipment in weeks, rather than months
•We make emulsion fuels
•Who benefits?
•Marine Industry (large boats)
•Power Generation (if used as prime power)

10. Marine Efficiency
• The University of Portsmouth Institute of Industrial
Research has worked on a wide range of commercial
collaborations that draw upon our expertise in managing
and extracting important information from large data sets.
• Our customers range from Process Machine Manufacturers
to Flight Data Analysis businesses to suppliers of High
Performance Computers.
• All of these customers share the same fundamental
problem – extracting key bits of information from vast and
ever growing data sets.

11. Marine Efficiency
• The Marine sector presents us with some unique emerging
opportunities. As with most industries there are vast
amounts of ever growing data sets being generated that
contain important elements of information embedded
within tremendous amounts of noise.
• We are already collaborating with an SME that installs
sensors on Marine Vessels to monitor engine performance.
• We seek further collaborators in the Marine sector to
develop embedded intelligent software systems that can
analyse data from all aspects of vessel performance to
improve energy usage on board ships.

for Vessel Efficiency Competition
• Support for composite material modelling, across the temperature scales
(cryogenic to fire), loading rate scale (static to dynamic) and micro to
macro scale analyses (physical chemistry to application).
• Drag reduction technologies and methods to enhance propulsive
efficiency through advanced synthesis of experimental, computational
and theoretical fluid dynamics.
• Guidance on and research into coalescence between supply chain and
internal departments for easy integration of Marpol and beyond.
• National Centre for Advanced Tribology’s extensive expertise on high-
performance Anti-fouling, low-friction and anti-corrosion coatings.
