The MariData project provides important contributions to improving the energy efficiency of ship operations and reducing emissions
Energy efficiency has always been a key concern for shipbuilding and shipping. Whereas economic reasons dominated the motivation to search for a low power requirement for ships in the past, ecological reasons and compliance with legal regulations to reduce emissions become increasingly important today. These demand a consistent strategy of energy efficiency as well as a significant reduction of exhaust emissions, not only during ship design and construction, but also during ship operation.
