Here you can see our SYNERGETICS Tools!

The Catalogue of Greening Retrofit Solutions (“the Catalogue”) describes and arranges the suitable retrofit technologies for greening of the fleets, and outline their maturity, TRL, possibilities for deployment (infrastructure), cost-effectiveness, etc.

To explore the available retrofit solutions, click on the links below to access detailed information about specific technology.

The Handbook for Implementation of Greening Retrofit Solutions (“the Handbook”) will describe: the steps necessary to technically implement a retrofit technology described in the Catalogue, the impact of the retrofit on the operational profile of vessels (paying special attention to the business model), the actions which vessel owners would have to undertake to obtain the regulatory approval for implementation of the selected retrofit technology. A business model will be developed to keep the Handbook maintained and updated after the SYNERGETICS project is completed.

The Scenarios for Policy Makers (“the Scenarios”) inform the policy makers regarding the implementation of necessary policy and regulations to help the inland waterway transport and coastal shipping sector accelerate the uptake of sustainable retrofit alternatives.

The goal of this tool is to support vessels owners in their decision on which solution is the best fit for them to reduce their emissions. This means that the tool provides a selection of possible solutions feasible within the set boundary conditions by the ship owner, in combination with some supporting information to guide the vessel owner in how to make their decision. The tool does not make the decisions for the vessel owner; it is only a means to guide and support them through their decision making process.

The Decision Support Tool is available here.
