We are excited to share that the EcoShipYard project was featured at the prestigious European Shipping Summit (ESS) 2025! A huge thank you to ABS for showcasing our project on their booth screens and in the project leaflet alongside other remarkable EU-funded initiatives.
The event was a great success, with full registrations and a diverse audience including EU officials, shipowners, ship managers, technology developers, investors, and key maritime stakeholders. It was an invaluable opportunity to discuss the future of sustainable shipbuilding and the innovations driving the industry forward.
The EcoShipYard project is focused on reducing the environmental impact of shipyards, improving energy efficiency, and advancing circular material management practices. Our efforts aim to enhance the sustainability of shipbuilding operations and align with EU environmental and climate goals.
Key EcoShipYard Highlights:
- Development of a EU-material passport to track materials throughout their lifecycle, ensuring circularity in shipbuilding, maintenance, and disassembly.
- Implementation of renewable energy sources and electrification of ports to reduce the environmental footprint of shipyards.
- Creation of digital tools for managing environmental impacts and improving energy efficiency in shipbuilding operations.
Thank you once again to ABS and everyone involved in making this project a success! We’re excited about the next steps in driving greener, more efficient practices in shipyards and advancing the maritime industry’s sustainability goals.
