Objective
Describe and illustrate one or more far future ship concept introducing new technology in a wide-ranging way, representing a vision for the Smart Maritime activities.
Background and motivation
The SFI Smart Maritime should visualize the vision of the centre, and create some ship concepts that symbolize the activity in the centre. This will improve the publicity and media attention towards the centre. Also it will give the researchers and industry partners a common understanding of where we are heading.
The Smart Ship concepts should be characterized by the following:
- Long-term horizon (i.e. more than 15 years into the future)
- Introduces new technology to a large extent
- Solves critical challenges (special focus on environmental issues)
- Technically qualified to a level that ensures realism
