Lighthouse Maritime Competence Centre is a collaboration between Chalmers, the University of Gothenburg, the Swedish Shipowners' Association, the Swedish Maritime Administration and Västra Götalandsregionen. Lighthouse was founded in 2006 and funded by VINNOVA. Within Lighthouse there are five themes that focus on environment, safety, work environment, cargo handling and logistics and law and economics. NOVEMBER
26 2013 - Lighthouse application to Vinnova for SIO-program
In November 2013 Lighthouse submitted an application to Vinnova for a so-called Strategic Innovation Area (SIO, Strategisk Innovations Område). With focus on cooperation between academy, industry and society Lighthouse wants to bring the whole maritime cluster together to achieve growth and sustainability.
The program is named Zero Vision Innovation, and has its foundation in the Swedish Maritime Research and Innovation Agenda Svallvåg 2013, an agenda written by various representatives from the maritime cluster. The overall objective of the program is the Zero Vision that envisages providing competitive sea transport solutions and maritime operations whilst avoiding accidents as well as unnecessary resource use and impact on natural environment and health. By addressing industry needs to meet environmental challenges and work together in focused research and innovation projects we want to make the Swedish maritime industry more competitive and sustainable.
A SIO-program is a research and innovation program co-financed by Vinnova. In this first step, Lighthouse has sent an application to Vinnova, for a program concept in order to be qualified for the final more extensive application to be submitted in March 2014. If the program will become a reality up to 100 millon SEK per year can be made available for research and innovation where 50 percent of the financing has to come from the industry.
This is very similar to that put in place by the Technology
Strategy Board in the UK - and is a pattern now being repeated in many
European member states.
On December 11 we will meet at KTH in Sockholm to further discuss and draw out plans on how all the new potential partners can join forces with Lighthouse to support a strong and competitive final application to Vinnova in March next year. We will compete with other industrial clusters in Sweden in being chosen as a Strategic Innovation Area so a strong and co-operative effort is a key success factor. One issue to be discussed at the meeting is the enlarged partnership in Lighthouse so that Lighthouse can be seen as representing the whole cluster.

SEMINAR
2013 The shipping industry is facing times of increasingly strict environmental regulations.
Frameworks for sulphur and NOx emissions, ballast water, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), and more, are all being introduced within a short timespan. Some frameworks have been criticized - after the decision on their introduction was taken - for not including a sufficient knowledge base. We believe that increased dialogue between academia, industry and policy-makers at an early stage can play an important part in the making of effective and fair regulation in the future.
In this Lighthouse seminar, we want to contribute to such a dialogue by presenting the forefront of our research, and how it relates to ongoing regulatory processes. Keynote speakers from governmental agencies and industry will lead the discussion based on their own work in this field: Marina Angsell and Anna Petersson of the
Swedish Transport Agency will give us the perspective of international negotiations. Per Tunell of Wallenius Marine will present ongoing action on GHG monitoring at EU and
IMO level, as well as Wallenius own environmental work. Carl Carlsson of the Swedish Shipowner's Association will present their view on the role of scientists in these processes.
Lena Göthberg, Secretary-General of the Institute of Shipping Analysis (SAI) will be the moderator for the seminar. We believe that seminar will be of high value for stakeholders within the maritime community who work operationally or strategically with issues related to energy and the environment. You are warmly invited to participate, meet your peers, exchange knowledge, and to be a part of this ongoing dialogue.

Is
this innovation still ahead of its time? The
Bluefish ZZC+
platform has a total energy harvesting capacity around 176kW (235hp),
giving an Energy Harvested to Displacement ratio (EH/D) of 3.52kW/ton
(4.72hp/ton) which with the advanced hullform equates to continuous 24/7
cruising at 7-10 knots. Larger versions of this format could be the emission
free cargo ships of the future. The cost of diesel fuel to
cruise this ship continuously for a year would be approximately: .29gals/hp x
117 x 24 x 365 = $297,226.80 (£183,393.99) In ten years that would be
$2.97M (£1.83M). There is though no fuel cost
during normal operations. Fuel for thought! Vital initial research is
needed to verify the concept prior to a feasibility study.
