**More than 80% of world trade is carried by ship with over 85,200 cargo vessel visits to UK ports in 2021\. GHG emissions from international shipping worldwide in 2022 was over 707 million tonnes CO2 \[Statista 2024\]. Cutting emissions from sea transportation is seen as vital in tackling climate change and limiting global temperature rise.** Marine biof...

UNSDG 7 targets to achieve universal energy access by 2030, unfortunately, based on the current trajectory there is still a gap and it may be growing. This is so given that globally, about 789 million people (597 million of whom are in sub-Saharan Africa SSA do not have access to energy. Moreover, limited coverage, high interconnection costs, high energy ...

Marine biofouling, caused by accumulation of plants, algae and animals on ship hulls, increases hydrodynamic drag, reducing speed and fuel efficiency. It also increases loading on the hull structure which can cause corrosion and crack formation that will lead to eventual failure of the hull structure (J Mater Sci, 2022). Ocean-going **vessels require corr...

FLEXSHIP will facilitate the transition of the waterborne sector towards climate neutrality by delivering a digital green concept for electrification of vessels consisting of a Green Digital Twin (GDT) for designing fit-for-purpose vessel electrical grid architectures and integrating a large battery capacity system into two existing vessel (DEMO 1 & 2) el...

As a significant source of greenhouse gasses (GHGs), it is essential that the maritime transport sector focuses on ways to become climate neutral. Partial electrification of power systems has already been adopted as a GHG reduction measure. However, further advances are necessary on such aspects as the provision of high charging powers to minimise costs a...

This feasibility study focuses on the US markets for robotics and AI, specifically robotic inspection. Part of our business growth strategy is to enter this lucrative market with our innovative products through: 1.Identifying suitable partners and stakeholders for market entry; 2.Developing a marketing strategy, to understand the market potential for expl...

Traditional construction is a low-tech but flexible manufacturing process. It is carried out 'on-site' using pre-manufactured components (windows, doors, bricks, blocks etc) and the manufacture of basic elements such as concrete, plaster etc. Whilst its flexibility has much to commend it (given the bespoke nature of buildings and their geographic distribu...

The decarbonisation of the transport sector in the UK, will see the migration from solely internal combustion powered vehicles to electric or hybrid vehicles only, as early as 2030\. This will result in the exponential growth of spent Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries stockpiled, as they must be replaced every 7-10 years. After this period, the EV batteries...

The NautilUS bathyscaphic robot will reduce the costs, danger and environmental and health and safety risks involved in inspections required by the American Petroleum Institute (API) industry standard for petrochemical storage tank periodic inspections and in particular for corrosion thinning of the tank floor. At the same time, the shortcomings of existi...

The VORTEX proposal seeks to develop a vortex suction technology robot that will autonomously navigate the vertical surfaces of such structures while deploying a combination of non-destructive inspection techniques. Air suction through a nozzle of a specific geometry create a vortex and initiate a force that attaches the robot to a vertical surface while ...

The AutoMon project solution offers an AI-enabled continuous, automated ultrasonic inspection and monitoring system that can identify the defects in critical components within plants including pipes, joints, welds, and complex shaped geometries. The developed solution will enable refineries, petrochemical, power, and nuclear plant owners/operators to impr...
