Partners in the Realisation and Demonstration of Advanced Material Solutions for Sustainable and Efficient Ships (RAMSSES) project are working to demonstrate a composite ship that weighs 40% less than a steel equivalent, offering considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
Led by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS, Gorinche, Netherlands) and Damen Gorinchem (DSGo), in cooperation with InfraCore Co. (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Evonik (Essen, Germany), Airborne UK and TNO (the Netherlands Organisation for applied scientific research), a six-meter high, composite hull section was unveiled in July 2020, after three years of development. Titled, “Custom Made Hull for Offshore Vessel”, this is one of 13 demonstrators being constructed in the RAMSSES project.
