POWER THE FUTURE | June 13-17 | On board


SS Rotterdam & live stream Floating Renewable Energy Production, Storage & Supply for Sustainable Shipping & more


MARIN is looking forward to bringing the maritime sector together again in 2022, with a combined BlueWeek & FPSO JIP Week set to be held in the heart of Rotterdam between June 13-17. With great confidence we plan to welcome you on board the ‘SS Rotterdam’ to follow all the seminars and the Forum, and additionally take part in workshops with experts in different fields, discussions, European and JIP project meetings. We also propose live streaming of the public events during the afternoon.


Taking the right decisions now, which have long-term consequences, is not an easy task. So we believe sharing experience and knowledge is the best possible way forward. By organising such an event, we


Fair wind blowing to reduce CO2 Growing pressure to cut CO2 emissions has


led to renewed interest in deploying wind power for ship propulsion. Wind energy is readily available and in addition to contributing to emission reduction, it can offer considerable cost savings. Wind energy has the further advantage that it can be used to supplement alternative fuel solutions. However, to implement a wind propulsion system, it is essential to establish the cost-effectiveness of such a system. This includes power performance, as well as manufacturing costs.


For this reason, the first WiSP (Wind-assisted Ship Propulsion) project concentrated on


performance prediction, and developed software to calculate power prediction for Flettner rotors and wing sails. The project results were sufficiently convincing for the Maritime Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) to update its energy efficiency indexes (EEXI/ EEDI), partly basing the wind propulsion assessment methods on WiSP’s recommendations.


Building on the success of the first WiSP project, WiSP2 was launched in 2021. This two-year project will expand the recommended methods to include more wind propulsion systems and combinations on the same vessel. WiSP2 will also investigate


aim to help the maritime sector gain confidence and be inspired, and ultimately engineer solutions for a sustainable future.


This year’s Forum theme is ‘Floating Renewable Energy Production, Storage & Supply for Sustainable Shipping & more’. More than ever, simultaneous actions within the complete life cycle of the energy chain is the only way to produce fast and sustainable results.


Preparations are in full swing, please check the preliminary programme and registration options at www.blueforum.org & www.fpsoforum.com. Meanwhile for questions contact Guilhem Gaillarde (chairman BlueForum) at g.gaillarde@marin.nl or blueweek@marin.nl
