The idea behind this project is to provide a
ship design that not only reduces emissions but
also provides a practical solution that can be
implemented in current volatile market.
In accordance to UNFCCC Copenhagen
2009, all EU nations have pledged to reduce
the CO2 emissions to a tune of 30% by 2020
and 40% by 2030. To solve this, the first
thought that comes to mind is the use of LNG
as operating fuel. Nevertheless this presents
us with two constraints: while LNG solves the
problem of SOX and NOX, its ability to reduce
greenhouse gasses like CO2 is limited to 20-25%
as compared to MDO. In addition installation of
LNG power plant on small vessels like Harbor
and Windfarm support vessels is limited due
to large size of installation. For these reasons,
the project proposes the idea of CM-SWAS(S)
H, Common Modular - Small Water-plane Area
The Nausikaa project focuses on the design
of a large scale SAR-vessel responding to the
various demands of such an area with high traffic volume.
The primary goal is it to help large groups
of people in distress, such as the refugee boats
from the northern African shore. With respect to
the dangerous transfer from people in disabled
boats or floating in the water, three high power
RHIBs (Rigid hull inflatable boat) with a large
capacity are carried on board. Another design
aspect is the smooth get through of castaways
from the rescue zone to the berth. From an
arrival hall different ways are departing to
a treatment room, an intensive care and a
quarantine ward. For the latter ones 8-berth
rooms on a multipurpose deck are considered.
To offer an adequate provision for bigger
groups, a canteen kitchen and a big number of
Single (Stabilized) Hull, that will cater to three
different types of vessels, Pilot Boats, Police/
Custom Patrol Boats and Wind-farm Support
Vessels for lengths between 18 to 24 m.
The technological focus is on design and
optimization of a hybrid hull form, presented as
SWAS(S)H and installing it with an Advanced
Hybrid Diesel Electric AC/DC propulsion system
for higher power plant efficiency with future
adaptability to SOLAR powered propulsion.
The hull optimization is carried out using
FRIENDSHIP CAESES®, MAXSURF® and FINE
Marine® (RANSE solver) to achieve lowest
possible resistance while ensuring good stability
and maneuverability.
sanitary facilities are taken into account. To assist
burning vessels in an early stage of fire fighting
the vessel is classed as FF1 (acc. DNV GL) and
hence is capable to rescue persons out of the
water near heat sources supported by an active
heat protection system.
The secondary goal of the vessel is
providing an extensive infrastructure for disaster
relief operations in remote areas. Therefore
additional to the on board medical capacities
a containerized hospital can be stowed, even
providing connections for reefer containers.
Furthermore a desalination plant can generate
a big amount of water, to be distributed among
the local population in disaster zones.
