Our other collaborative R&D projects

CHAIRE ECN

#SeakeepingAndSloshing #Marine
Bureau Veritas has collaborated with the Ecole Centrale Nantes in the creation of an industry chair to investigate the ships of the future. Our research covers three main aspects:
•    Ship safety
•    Interacting bodies and flexible connections
•    Wave performance

ECOPROP

#CompositeMaterials #Marine 
EcoProp is a project being led by TU Delft, focusing on addressing key challenges for composite propellors: 
•    Predicting propellor noise
•    Designing for optimum performance and reduced noise
•    Monitoring propellor performance and integrity

The outcomes of EcoProp will help reduce underwater radiated noise (URN) and vibrations and improve the life expectancy of ships.
 

EOLINK

#MooringIntegrity #MRE 
Bureau Veritas has partnered with Eolink on the component certification of their pre-commercial 5MW floating offshore wind turbines.
 

CARGOSAFE

#Safety #Marine 
CARGOSAFE aims to identify cost-effective risk management options for cargo fires onboard container vessels, dealing with fire response and detection and the declaration and segregation of dangerous goods.

PT PH49 / PT PH50

#Seakeeping #StructuralIntegrity #Marine 
PT PH49 and PH50 are IACS initiatives to derive new wave loads from the new North Atlantic scatter diagram. This work will enable an update of CSR, S11 and S11A and the assessment of new wave loads and corrosion margins.
 

CONVIRT

#StructuralIntegrity #StructuralHealthMonitoring #Marine 
Convirt is a two-year co-operative research ship (CRS) project to harness machine learning and virtual hull monitoring in order to improve the efficiency of ships’ health monitoring.

GOODVIBES  

#Seakeeping #StructuralIntegrity #Marine 
Goodvibes is a co-operative research ship project focused on the operational dynamic vibrations of ships. The project aims to compare procedures for assessing the influence of different sources of vibrations inside the ship structure. Its objective is to better understand the impacts of continuous vibrations, including on humans exposed to them, and to evaluate assessment procedures with tests on a number of representative vessels.

PACBOAT

#Marine
PACBOAT is a project led by the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) looking at the possibilities and risks of installing a demonstrator solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) on a cruise ship. Our overall aim is to be able to inform and develop Rules for the use of fuel cells onboard ships.
 

FARMOTION

#SustainableShipping #Marine 
The Farmotion project focuses on the development of a large rotor sail, supported by Farwind Energy.
