Work packages

The technical development work carried out within BESST project is coordinated by System Groups (SG).

Each System Group clusters from 2 to 4 SG Subprojects or work packages (WP) of BESST project. Subprojects will develop new technical solutions, prove their feasibility in specific prototype applications and document the achievements in a generic way, so that they can easily be adapted to real ships. In addition, each subproject will develop specific life cycle performance assessment methods in the frame provided by WP01-HA-A, and perform an analysis of the impact of their results for the life cycle performance of the ship.
