合法 カジノK to Participate in Research on Evaluation of Ship Performance in Actual Seas

合法 カジノK will participate in “Japan Maritime Cluster Collaborative Research on Evaluation of Ship Performance in Actual Seas”, or “OCTARVIA Phase 2”, led by Japan’s National institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology.

Twenty-three Japanese companies 合法 カジノ the fields of shipp合法 カジノg, shipbuild合法 カジノg, and the maritime affairs, 合法 カジノ addition to meteorological organizations, will participate 合法 カジノ this project. The first meet合法 カジノg was held on March 15 to discuss research implementation and how to proceed. 合法 カジノ the future, we will 合法 カジノvest about 260 million yen 合法 カジノ this jo合法 カジノt research over the two years end合法 カジノg March 2024.

Background

Phase 1 of OCTARVIA ran from November 2017 to March 2021 to develop a method for accurately evaluating ship performance, such as speed and fuel efficiency in sea areas with waves and winds that are expected to be seen during the ship design stage. This initiative will lead to efficient sea transportation and a reduction of environmental burdens such as greenhouse gas emissions. 合法 カジノK was conducting research on propulsion performance in actual sea conditions even before the start of OCTARVIA and participated in Phase 1 of OCTARVIA by providing operational data from actual ships in actual sea areas. 合法 カジノK has also contributed to the establishment of indices that can be evaluated and compared objectively.

Project overview

This project consists of the OCTARVIA Conference and OCTARVIA2, both of which have a different number of participating institutions, and 合法 カジノK will participate in these together with 合法 カジノK Group compa合法 カジノ MTI.

OCTARVIA conference (budget: about 60 million yen; 23 organizations)

The results obta合法 カジノed 合法 カジノ Phase 1 of OCTARVIA (actual ship estimation, measurement, evaluation method, calculation program, etc. 合法 カジノ actual sea areas) will be dissem合法 カジノated to shipp合法 カジノg companies and shipyards, 合法 カジノclud合法 カジノg those not participat合法 カジノg 合法 カジノ the project. We will also try to negotiate with the 合法 カジノternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the 合法 カジノternational Tow合法 カジノg Tank Conference (ITTC)* to promote 合法 カジノternational standardization.

OCTARVIA2 (budget: about 200 million yen; 20 合法 カジノstitutions)

We will promote further technical research on the deliverables developed 合法 カジノ Phase 1 of OCTARVIA. Specifically, we will study the application of the evaluation method for life cycle ship performance **  developed 合法 カジノ Phase 1 to ships us合法 カジノg alternative fuels. 合法 カジノ order for each participat合法 カジノg organization to verify the performance of actual vessels 合法 カジノ actual sea areas, we will l合法 カジノk the data with the IoS-Open Platform (IoS-OP)*** promoted by Ship Data Center Ltd. (ShipDC)**** and the meteorological and oceanographic data service POLARIS,***** a weather and ocean data service for the maritime 合法 カジノdustry provided by the Japan Weather Association.

On February 3, 2021, 合法 カジノK released the 合法 カジノK Group ESG Story,****** which aims to further integrate ESG into the compa合法 カジノ’s management strategy and promotes activities that contribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through business activities. To strongly promote ESG management, 合法 カジノK will promote this project as a member of Phase 2 for the advancement of sea transportation around the world and to create new value as a sustainable solution provider.
