CHEK out our latest news regarding decarbonisation and digital design!

Data driven design with digital tools - Deltamarin

Read about our latest decarbonisation and digital design news from our recent development project CHEK. The EU-funded CHEK project (deCarbonising sHipping by Enabling Key technology symbiosis on real vessel concept designs) proposes to reach zero emissions shipping by reconfiguring the way ships are designed and operated today.

The 101 of good ship design – our experience in hull form and propulsion efficiency optimisation

Wake CFD

Read about Deltamarin’s unparalleled experience in hull form and propulsion efficiency optimisation in our latest expert blog post. Our hydrodynamic lead and senior naval architect explain how computational fluid dynamics (CFD), propulsion power predictions and new sophisticated modelling techniques are helping to squeeze out even more performance improvements amid the push to reduce carbon intensity.

Carbon capture – case study for a Ropax ship

Carbon capture - credit Deltamarin

The shipping industry is under a lot of pressure to cut green house gas emissions in the coming years. One of the emerging technologies that has received less attention in the maritime context is post-combustion carbon capture. We joined forces with Wärtsilä to study how the system could be implemented in RoPax ferries.

The low carbon story – part two

Zero Emission B.Delta Coaster

Currently, hydrogen and ammonia are the only two truly zero-carbon alternatives for ship fuel. Hydrogen is the alternative that requires more fundamental new-thinking, especially if considering fuel cells as the power plant solution. In the second part of our low carbon story, we present in brief our own hydrogen-fuelled ship design.

The low carbon story – part one

Aframax tanker - Deltamarin

In the first part of our three-part blog series about low carbon ship design, we focus on our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of ships to achieve zero or very low carbon operation. We also present our views on modern energy-efficient technologies and design methods in shipping with the help of concrete examples.
