Anchors away to zero-emission shipping

Using a combination of technologies, the CHEK project is developing vessels designed to substantially curtail shipping’s carbon footprint.

The project says its wind energy-optimised bulk carrier and hydrogen-powered cruise ship designs could reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions by a staggering 99 %. To ensure this technology is translated into action, the project also developed a future-proof vessel design platform. Engineers can use the platform to integrate the project’s sustainable technologies into their own tanker, container ship, cargo ship and ferry designs.
