“…In addition, the individual ferry operators have their own specific requirements for their fleet, such as a uniform equipment of the bridge with comparable support systems. In addition, the ferry must be customised to the exact route in order to keep operating costs as low as possible (Boulougouris et al, 2021). In conclusion, a mix of standardisation and customisation is needed to achieve the climate goals quickly and cost-effectively.…”

The transportation sector is responsible for a relevant share of the total emissions and offers great potentials. It is necessary to implement as many zero-emission mobility systems as possible in the shortest time. For fast ferries, which are a relevant transport manner for a large share of the global population, technical issues could be solved and the successful operation was demonstrated. Up to today high-speed ships have been fully individually designed because physical effects demand for an individual optimisation for each use-case. Specifically for battery electric ships the overall efficiency is crucial to ensure not only an ecological but also economical operation.With today's methods the design and production of such an individual designed ferry does take too long. To cover the rising demand, new approaches for mass production need to be established.In this paper we describe a method for designing a platform for ships with the example of a battery electric fast ferry. The focus is on the actual modularisation, as other aspects like requirements or results of our example case are published elsewhere and are therefore just included briefly.The method is validated on the world's first battery powered high-speed ferry.

“…The focus is on the actual modularisation, as other aspects like requirements or results of our example case are published elsewhere and therefore just included briefly. We used the design research methodology (Blessing and Chakrabarti, 2009) to conclude this research. Chapter two clarifies the research question.…”

“…Seakeeping performance of DC372 in rough seas was further studied by (Castiglione et al, 2011) with the help of URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) equations solver. The studies on multihulls and bow thrusters have been further studied in the following studies: (Milanov et al, 2012) developed a manoeuvring model that is a function of advance speed and water depth for a water-jet-driven fast catamaran; (Duman and Bal, 2019) predicted the manoeuvring coefficients of a fast catamaran by conducting CFD simulations; (Yukun et al, 2020) presented a study on bow opening fairing and its effects on the hydrodynamic performance of a monohull by comparing single and multiple bow thruster design options; (Papanikolaou et al, 2020) presented a study focuses on the hydrodynamic hull form optimization of a zero emission, battery driven, fast catamaran vessel; (Boulougouris et al, 2021) presented the implementation of state-of-the-art "Industry 4.0" methods and tools to enable a fully electrical, fast zero-emission waterborne urban transport; (Shi et al, 2021) conducted an extensive study to predict the shallow water effects acting on a zero-carbon fast passenger catamaran; (Duman and Bal, 2022)…”

Steering a ship in confined waters is particularly important for the efficient operation of high-speed ferries. Bow thruster is the obvious solution. It may have however an adverse effect on the resistance of the vessel. The interference between demi hulls in the case of catamarans becomes an important and complex phenomenon as it affects many aspects of the hydrodynamic performance of the vessel. This study has focused on the analysis of the fluid flow around a fast catamaran with/without a bow thruster tunnel. A zero-carbon fast passenger ferry catamaran hull has been subjected to resistance simulations at two different speeds. Firstly, the catamaran hull without a bow opening has been simulated by commercial RANS solver software. After that, the simulations have been repeated for the catamaran hull with bow thruster opening. Finally, the bow opening has been filled with a gridded plane for garbage straining. The findings are very interesting for the fast catamaran ferry designers and operators. They are discussed for all three conditions in a comparative approach.

This paper reviews a state-of-the-art zero emission propulsion system for a battery-powered small craft. The main aspects considered are the available propulsion systems, energy storage, and dock battery charging. This underlying activity is part of the KISS project, a research and development program in the frame of the EU-funded “Piano Operativo Regionale CALABRIA FESR-FSE 2014–2020 ASSE I–PROMOZIONEDELLA RICERCA E DELL’INNOVAZIONE”, which is aimed at designing and building a physical prototype. Its hull form is based on previous research conducted by the authors, and the powering performances were preliminarily predicted by CFD simulation. The KISS project represents a successful example of an electric small craft with performances and a mission profile comparable to competitors with conventional propulsion. Such a target has been achieved by a concurrent design that considers the hull form, engine, propulsion system, and energy storage onboard. Safety issues and the regulatory frame are also highlighted.
