Presentation on innovative ship design
Presentation on innovative ship design
Ship designer Thormud Johannesen, from the Faroese branch of Knud E. Hansen, recently gave a presentation at the Centre of Maritime Studies and Engineering on innovative ship designs in the fisheries sector. He introduced three vessel types: a wellboat, a small trawler, and a large trawler, all featuring breakthrough technologies.
Each of these vessels is equipped with electromotor-driven propulsion systems, powered by combustion engines. Additionally, they are designed with the flexibility to transition to green alternative fuels, offering a more sustainable approach to future maritime operations.
Data survey
Data survey
To enhance vocational education programs with a strong focus on green energy and sustainability we need to understand the current state of sustainability education within our sector, including maritime, mining, thermal energy, and carbon storage. To gather information, we sent out a survey to staff at our schools. The survey was translated into respective country language to encourage responses from participants. The answers from the survey gave us valuable information that will help us identify existing strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement in our curriculum and resources.
