Down sizing shipping, a MUST.
Ultra low Opex and CAPEX in construction, >50% below similar size steel ships
Durable for hundred years, safer, cheaper, lighter and with round GRP containers that stacks safer and easier loading unloading adaption to bulk handling and on top of all; energy production !.
Easy recycling and dismantling if needed for over-land transport, each and all argument for the shipping world MUST change away from huge steel ships with uncertain LCA , disasters of unknown size and enormous CO2 emissions.
Mission
An explorer yacht and safer ferry with lower construction price of similar vessel in steel or aluminum. Sailing rig, foils and thrusters generator with battery banks make for zero CO2 emissions and with PEM Hydrogen production.
Lifecircle study will prove the better use in vessel construction of composite filaments fibers and with very short production time in green field yards or riverside.
A start could be a simple barge ferry construction of GRP pipes assembly by vacum infusion at Venø, with bottom line draw system value below 100.000 Euros, construction in-loco or at Sydkajen, Struer. Location ideal for the ferries construction and to build explorer and energy producers like Bladerunner H. For this kind of barge a classification and registering is expected to be fast and relatively inexpensive.
In our workshop in Thyholm we want produce a innovation in thrusters from Magnetic Innovation 485 basic electromagnetic permanent magnet stator by carbon fiber vacum infusion cladding of the permanent magnets and support structure.
Likewise we want to produce the innovative 8 figure foils by use of cuts from same pipe size used for barge main hulls, from the filament pipe with visconite bushings and vacuum infused carbon cladding support.
Yes, a big big challenge and mission, so let’s get started 😀
