The low carbon story – part two

Zero Emission B.Delta Coaster

Currently, hydrogen and ammonia are the only two truly zero-carbon alternatives for ship fuel. Hydrogen is the alternative that requires more fundamental new-thinking, especially if considering fuel cells as the power plant solution. In the second part of our low carbon story, we present in brief our own hydrogen-fuelled ship design.

The low carbon story – part one

Aframax tanker - Deltamarin

In the first part of our three-part blog series about low carbon ship design, we focus on our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of ships to achieve zero or very low carbon operation. We also present our views on modern energy-efficient technologies and design methods in shipping with the help of concrete examples.

Cost modeling – Case Flexens

Flexens cost model case example

Does hydrogen lie at the heart of future fuels? Replacing diesel-powered ships with ships powered by alternative fuels is the theme we are focusing on today as Jarkko Nurmi approaches the subject by conducting a cost estimation assessing the feasibility of each alternative. The estimation was conducted for Flexens’ Power2AX project.

DeltaWay – introducing AI to ship concept development

DeltaWay

Our previous blog texts introduced digital design tools designed for estimating a vessel’s lifetime, propulsion power and the energy and environmental footprint. This blog opens up the part of the digital design that is closest to the physical representation of the ship, and explains how it combines it all together. We call this part of […]

Digital ship sails on all seas and in all weathers

Digital driven design - DeltaSeas

In the previous blog text, we described the methods that we have for evaluating vessel environmental footprint and energy efficiency. One of their major outcomes was that the operating profile of the vessel is of extreme importance. This blog continues our digital design series by introducing DeltaSeas, which provides answers to this specific question.

In the heart of the digital ship

Deltakey Focus

This blog continues our digital design story by opening up the actual parts in our digital design toolbox. This time we are focusing on DeltaKey, the numerical representation of the processes and systems within the ship hull.
