ACCREDITATION
American
University of Ras Al Khaimah located at RAK is officially licensed since 1
August 2009 by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of
the United Arab Emirates to award degrees in higher education.
American
University of Ras Al Khaimah has the academic accreditation from the
Commission for Academic Accreditation at the Ministry of Higher Education
and Scientific Research for:
The
Bluefish ZCC concept is aimed at producing enabling technology for Zero
Carbon Cruisers (ZCCs) of the future. ZCC theory is based on a lightweight
SWASH
hull design that is extremely stable, upon which it is hoped to develop
this concept in the UK and in Europe via collaborative research with
academia and industry.
The
theory is that such a vessel need not use diesel fuel to traverse the
oceans at relatively high speed 24/7 and 365 days a year if required. The
enabling dual-axis harvesting technology as applied to a SWASH hull is yet
to be tried in any form to be able to proceed to a feasibility study and
from there to industrial research. Collaborative research will be
essential at almost every stage before a prototype might finally hit the
oceans.
Broad
estimations suggest that a vessel of this design will pay for itself in
fuel saved every ten years. The bigger the vessel, the more fuel is saved.
With rising bunker
prices the economics of operation are favorable, apart from green politics
now playing an active role.
The
Bluefish zero emission vehicle (ZEV) concept will rely on computer vision
and other robotic functions to be able to operate at great efficiency in
harsh blue water ocean environments.
