Project OptiMar (or OPTImised MARitime) – an initiative led by PurpleSector, working in partnership with Serco, the RNLI and Harwich Haven Authority (HHA), will deliver a first-of-its-kind digital twin platform to help optimise operational activity of a vessel fleet and the design and performance of their propulsion systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cPurpleSector is recognised for its expertise in optimising how vessels are using and developing innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions,\u201d said William Barker, harbour master, Harwich Haven Authority.<\/p>\n
\u201dWe value the way PurpleSector shares our attitude and ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Government interventions<\/strong><\/p>\n Project OptiMar will receive the grant under the UK\u2019s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC6).<\/p>\n CMDC6 is part of a suite of interventions launched by the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE), a programme tasked with outlining the UK Government\u2019s commitment to decarbonising the UK maritime sector, while also unlocking investment potential in UK technologies, at UK ports and at UK shipyards.<\/p>\n As the UK works towards its Net Zero by 2050 target, Project OptiMar is looking to deliver practical, cutting-edge digital solutions for the marine sector that simultaneously benefit the economy, environment and public health.<\/p>\n The project is one of many that will be demonstrating and showcasing innovative technology across the UK in 2025 \u2013 involving a wide range of vessel types and new infrastructure in ports and UK waters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new UK project which is looking to decarbonise vessel propulsion and port infrastructure and been awarded a significant government grant to progress its work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5798,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2326,982,539,362,2328,2329,2327,2330,2218],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-clean-maritime-demonstration-competition","tag-harwich-haven-authority","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-port-vessels","tag-project-optimar","tag-puroplesector","tag-rnli","tag-serco","tag-vessel-decarbonisation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5797"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5799,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5797\/revisions\/5799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5797"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
