Industries
Every day, over 1800 engineers work side by side with customers in a wide range of sectors.
CT, in collaboration with NODOSA shipyards and the University of Vigo, is participating in the design of a harbour tugboat fully propelled by green hydrogen.
The H2TECH4SHIP project is being conducted under the auspices of Navantia’s lead project, INNCODIS, as part of PERTE Naval, and has received funding of more than 1.3 million euros for the development of innovative technologies in maritime transport.
The “H2TECH4SHIP” project, focused on researching the requirements and equipment necessary for hydrogen-driven propulsion, has been selected for funding by PERTE Naval, as part of the framework of NAVANTIA’s lead project “INNCODIS: development of an innovative industrial ecosystem for a competitive, diversified, and sustainable naval sector”, with an allocation amounting to over 1.3 million euros.
Shipping is a key sector for global transport, as more than 90% of the world’s trade is carried by sea. There is no single solution to the challenges posed by the decarbonisation of maritime transport, but the role of hydrogen will be essential both alone (as a fuel in itself) and as part of the new generation of synthetic fuels.
This project includes research into all the systems and technological elements necessary for the design of a tugboat type vessel propelled by green hydrogen, a zero-emissions ship for which CT will develop the conceptual design, naval architecture calculations, and basic engineering, as well as analysing safety requirements. These are highly demanding tasks with a significant research component, given the absence of applicable regulations, except for guidelines and initial publications from Classification Societies that are beginning to emerge.
CT is increasingly involved in projects related to the decarbonisation process of maritime transport, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company, committed to sustainability and environmental protection, is facing new challenges in shipbuilding, both in terms of design and onboard equipment, to ensure that it remains at the forefront of the industry.
