Green Ship Technology Issues Demand Sustainable Answers
July 13, 2021
Requirements for hydrodynamic-efficiency, EEXI compliance analysis, energy storage, shore-charging, fuel cells and alternative fuels suggest something like a perfect storm of demand for ship sustainability experts, but what is needed is clarity of vision, according to Trevor Small of Foreship LLC.
Manager of Global Sustainable Technologies at Foreship’s Seattle office, Small is at the heart of Foreship’s growth plans for Canada and the United States, as the leading naval architecture and marine engineering company balances client needs to stay well ahead on compliance and secure ROI.
Raised social awareness of environmental issues in Canada in particular is being reflected directly in growing demand for ships designed and built first and foremost for sustainability, says Small.
