📋 Tender Overview
Sustainable Energy Applications For Green And Low-Impact Operation Of Small-Scale Fishing Boats In The Baltic And North Sea Basins
The Project Seaglow (Sustainable Energy Applications For Green And Low-Impact Operation Of Small-Scale Fishing Boats In The Baltic And North Sea Basins) Will Demonstrate The Impact And Potential Of 5 Different Technological Applications To Reduce Fossil Fuel Consumption And Ghg Emissions On Small Fishing Boats In The North And Baltic Sea Basins. The Project Will Focus On Comparison Of Available Technologies Through The Industrial Partners Of The Project As Well As Work Towards Developing And Improving The Applied Technologies Through The Data Collection From The Applied Cases With The Goal Of Decreasing The Environmental Impact Of The Vessels. Seaglow Will Collect Sensor Data From The Case Vessels To Measure The Impact Of The Applied Application Over Time As Well As Look Into Potential Combinations Of The Technologies, Which Include Hybrid Electric Drivetrains, Methanol Powered Engines, Durable Polymer-Based Surface Coatings Preventing Fouling, Reducing Drag And Improving Engine Performance, To Use Of Low-Cost Permanent Sensors To Influence Sailing Behaviour. The Technologies Will Be Tested On Vessels From 8.5 – 11.5 Tons In Full Operational Conditions On 4 Vessels In Denmark, Estonia, Norway And Sweden

Objective
The project SEAGLOW (Sustainable Energy Applications for Green and Low-impact Operation of small-scale fishing boats in the Baltic and North Sea basins) will demonstrate the impact and potential of 5 different technological applications to reduce fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions on small fishing boats in the North and Baltic Sea basins. The project will focus on comparison of available technologies through the industrial partners of the project as well as work towards developing and improving the applied technologies through the data collection from the applied cases with the goal of decreasing the environmental impact of the vessels. SEAGLOW will collect sensor data from the case vessels to measure the impact of the applied application over time as well as look into potential combinations of the technologies, which include hybrid electric drivetrains, methanol powered engines, durable polymer-based surface coatings preventing fouling, reducing drag and improving engine performance, to use of low-cost permanent sensors to influence sailing behaviour. The technologies will be tested on vessels from 8.5 – 11.5 tons in full operational conditions on 4 vessels in Denmark, Estonia, Norway and Sweden
