KOFS - Composites for a sustainable shipping
Research Project, 2021
– 2022
Lighter ships means either higher payload for the same fuel consumption or reduced fuel consumption if the payload is not increased. The project explores innovative options how to use composites in smarter ways in modern commercial ship structures.
