Results
BESST aims to achieve a breakthrough effect, i.e. to ensure that customers will get added value over life time from European shipyards even with a higher initial price.
A first detailed analysis of the potential life cycle benefits through the implementation of project results has shown cost reductions per ship of around 120 M€ over a 30 years life time.
Referring to the environmental issues, another project goal, evaluated in connection with the foreseen ship energy saving, is the reduction of 12 % of the CO2 emission, i.e. abt. 12.000 CO2 t/year per ship.
The main expected results are:
- On the Greening of Surface Transport level: reduction of emission of gaseous (CO2), compounds (coatings) and noise In production and repair; reduction of consumption of fuel and water.
- On Safety and Security: application of risk based design, increase of reliability of structures and availability of key Ship systems, overall security management and tools.
- On Competitiveness: increased number of passenger cabins, improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions; reduced ship weight and crew number; reduced costs for repairing, maintenance and refitting, and costs for production.
