Overview
The project based at Lloyd’s Register Foundation Research Center for Safety of Future Ship at Seoul National University will significantly contribute to the safety and sustainability of future maritime operations as it concentrates on key areas.
Firstly, design of fuel tanks and systems to reduce the safety risks associated with using alternative fuels; secondly, risk prediction and prevention, specifically addressing dynamic instability and loss of manoeuvrability in waves; and thirdly, development and application of digital techniques to enhance safety at sea.
It will help generate knowledge and evidence with potential to influence existing and new standards and regulations which are key to safer design and operation of ships in 21st century. Fifteen research projects, delivered in close collaboration with industry and international research partners, will tackle specific challenges related to decarbonisation (need for different fuel tank design for alternative fuels) and climate change (extreme weather causing risk of instability or loss of manoeuvrability).
The innovative research and development at SNU will not only advance maritime safety but also contribute significantly to addressing global challenges such as climate change and energy transition. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to fostering cutting-edge technologies and standards that benefit the maritime community and society at large.”
