Stadt Sjøtransport and Ocean Hyway Cluster has been granted pre-project funding from FORREGION Vestland to look at zero-emission solutions for a tug / barge.

Two scopes will be investigated:

Scope 1: Energy system on-board the tug.

  • Vessel Designer: Marine Design

  • The research institutes SINTEF Ocean and IFE

  • Initiator and coordinator Ocean Hyway Cluster
