1. LeanShips Project General Principles
The project has received funding from the European’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Contract No.: )

2. Project goal: To develop green technologyes……
The missing link between green technology availability and large scale market uptake is:
“Hard” evidence on green technology reliability, impact on energy use and on emissions and the economic gains to compensate for the necessary investments.

3. The Smart, Green, Integrated Transport Challenge
Mobility for Growth, technical development, modes and integration
Better use of existing resources, reduced congestion, intelligent systems
Cleaner, safer vehicles

4. It’s all about innovation!
Getting new green technology to the market!
And LeanShips sets a green example !
- in the maritime sector;
- in line with EU;
- worldwide energy and emission policies.

Start up: May 2015
Duration: 48 months
Work Package 04
LNG/CNG combined with RSD for ship handling tug

6. Objective of the Work Package 04
Design and build a new generation ship handling prototype tug with two NG-fuelled prototype engines;
NG-fuelled high speed engines concept;
Build and (bench) test 3 prototype high-speed NG fuelled engines;
Validate (at full scale) new generation ship handling tug by operating the tug for one year;
Based on sea measurements & bench tests, develop 2nd generation NG-fuelled engines;
Retrofit/update/modify the NG-fuelled engines on-board the tug with the 2nd generation engine technology.
