Shipping and maritime technology for the fossil-free transition

The shipping industry is facing its biggest transition ever. International regulations have set out clear requirements: carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced by 75 per cent by 2050. The EU's emissions trading system puts a price on every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted, and emissions must be reduced by 40 per cent by 2030. This means that shipping companies, shipyards and ports must make crucial choices between alternative fuels, new technologies such as wind propulsion, and extensive investments in ships and land-based infrastructure. At the same time, the market demands cost-effective, sustainable solutions in the long term.

RISE can support you throughout this process with independent analysis, advanced technological infrastructure, simulation and proven methods. We help you to evaluate and optimise energy-saving solutions, including wind propulsion, alternative fuels, electrification and hydrodynamic design. Using simulations, model tests and risk analyses, we verify that your solutions are effective before you invest. We also contribute to the development of maritime logistics and sustainable ports as transport, energy and digital hubs for future freight transport.

Naval architecture and systems engineering

With naval architecture and project management services, RISE supports shipowners through the life cycle of the vessel. Using a systematic, scientific, and holistic approach to ship design combined with a vast knowledge and experience within the naval architecture domain, it gives us the ability to support your plans or development project to reach their full potential.

Solution

Wind-Powered Ships

Wind propulsion and wind assistance for ships has great potential in resolving the unprecedented challenges that the shipping industry faces today.

Solution

Maritime environment, risk and operation

By combining technical and operational knowledge and expertise, RISE reduce risks, costs and environmental impact for safe, resilient, and efficient maritime operation. We contribute with stability and predictability.

Solution

Integrated maritime logistics support and technical information

Accurate, complete, vessel-specific and easily accessible technical information for ships not only enhances safety and accessibility – it also reduces the total life-cycle cost. RISE provide information analysis, the production, quality assurance and efficient publication of technical information, as well as practical verification of maintenance measures on board vessels.

Test & demo

Towing tank

The towing tank at RISE test facility SSPA Maritime Center has many applications, primarily concerning hull and propeller form optimization for all kinds of ships or energy saving devices with respect to resistance/ propulsion. A database containing over 8,000 ship hull forms provides the basis for the result analysis.

Test & demo

360 simulator

Simulations is an efficient tool for maritime infrastructure development projects. The output will directly support clients in their decisions of alternative layouts of ports, fairways and terminals. We have decades of experience and records supporting clients world wide.

Test & demo

Cavitation tunnel

RISE cavitation tunnel at the test facility SSPA Maritime Center consists of three interchangeable measuring sections allowing high speed testing of propellers up to 23 m/s as well as large ship models of up to 10 meters. When performing cavitation studies for ships, the complete ship model can be installed.

Test & demo

SEAMAN simulations

For each simulation assignment, RISE communicates with the customer to ensure that the simulation has the right level of detail in both accuracy and cost efficiency. To reach the proper level, there are several areas that RISE will tailor to the customer's needs: Ship Dynamics, Modelling, Instrumentation, Visualization and Analysis.

Test & demo

Model manufacturing

Our facilities for designing, building and outfitting of models for all kinds of model tests include milling machines for hulls and propellers, paint box, a team of measurement engineers and a workshop for the assembly of hulls, propellers, rudders and other appendages.
