The Netherlands – A global player in “green,” clean shipping and digital shipbuilding, the maritime industry in the Northern Netherlands is combining all of its skills and knowledge to meet the technological challenges.
A first European grant of 1.4 million euros will be given to a group of 21 technology developers, shipping companies, shipyards, suppliers, laboratories, universities of applied sciences, and the University of Groningen to support these advancements.
Zero-emission shipping
The Groninger Maritime Board and Conoship International founded the “Green Maritime Coalition,” which aims to set the standard for large-scale zero-emission shipping and digital shipbuilding. This process aims to advance industrial development and application of technologies like ship-based carbon capture and storage, hydrogen propulsion, VentiFoil-wind propulsion, Redox Flow full electric propulsion, and robotization of production processes.
The initial project partners of the Green & Digital Maritime Innovation Ecosystem Northern Netherlands are Conoship International B.V., MSN B.V., Holthausen Clean Technology B.V., eCONOwind B.V., Bouman Industries B.V., Bijlsma Wartena B.V., Doze Management B.V., Koninklijke Niestern-Sander B.V., Eekels Technology B.V., Cadmatic B.
