About

The subject of this research is a new maritime transportation system, that handle either ISO containers and bulk cargo, but is more efficient than current legacy, bulk oil burning vessels. Those are not conventional electric ships, but a new, more sustainable concept: with no emissions, no ballast, no leaks, and no oil. This vessel concept is silent and causes no harm to marine wildlife. The propulsion system is currently in use on some military vessels, but this concept applies a new implementation of the current technology. This research proposes this new class of ships, a new terminal port architecture for both intercontinental and regional shipping, and several solutions that integrate this more sustainable, carbon free, pollution free shipping future.
