Hydrodynamic optimisation of a zero-emission fast catamaran

A current study conducted by the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) focuses on the hydrodynamic hull form optimisation of a zero-emission, battery-driven, fast catamaran. Part of the Horizon 2020 European Research project “TrAM – Transport: Advanced and Modular”, the aim of the project is to demonstrate that electrically powered ferries can be fast and competitive in terms of service, environmental impact and life-cycle cost.
