This call focuses on developing innovative holistic intelligent design tools for retrofitting existing ships to enhance energy efficiency and support decarbonization efforts. The proposed tools should integrate multiple decarbonization solutions, considering their mutual interactions and impacts on ship design, operation, and stability. Projects should develop a novel intelligent design digital tool capable of full integration of decarbonizing concepts, validate it through testing, and apply it to virtual demonstrations across six different ship types. The aim is to accelerate the retrofitting of aging fleets, increase competitiveness of European shipyards, and reduce commercial risks for ship owners.
