This project aims to support Océan Marine in the development of a plug-in hybrid fishing boat concept that can operate in coastal areas in eastern Canada. The project aims more specifically to optimize the propulsion of the boat to maximize the autonomy and speed of operation. Ultimately, the use of this vessel will reduce the environmental impacts of boats used …
The goal is to develop a new two-stage closed loop mixed structured scrubber for SOx removal and CO2 capture. The first part deals with the washing of the scrubber on a wave simulator robot to study the impact of the swell on SOx / GHG washing performance. The second focuses on the design of structured packing to minimize energy consumption …
The sedimentation is sufficiently important in the marina to limit the entry/exit window of the boats, both for pleasure and for cruise ships, and it has significant impacts on the development of nautical activities in the area. To ensure that the resources involved in the maintenance dredging project are used optimally, Innovation maritime has been mandated to identify the technical …
The use of biofuels as a substitute or supplement to fossil fuels is one of the strategies to further reduce the carbon footprint of marine transport. In this context, the research project carried out by SEREX and Innovation maritime, in partnership with the client, aimed to validate the possibility of developing a mixed fuel based on diesel and biofuels derived …
The purpose of this project was to provide Parks Canada with a methodology to assist in the recovery of Beluga critical habitat, by reducing the noise level emitted by Parks Canada’s fleet of boats, by sea excursion boats and those dedicated to scientific research, of small model, sailing in the marine park.
Innovation maritime initiated the NISOB project to address the risk of introduction of invasive species by ships’ ballast water. A rigorous scientific analysis of the treated water has been carried out by laboratories to verify compliance with the standards established by the ballast water control and management Regulations. The technologies tested onboard were intended, among other things, to help the …
The overall objectives of the project were to reduce GHG emissions from the main propulsion engine ; reduce the main propulsion engine fuel consumption ; increase the overall efficiency of the vessel through the use of performance indicators ; demonstrate the impact of operational best practices on GHG emissions and energy consumption of a building ; inform and educate the ship’s crew …
The purpose of the project was to experiment with the use of biodiesel in one of the generators of a Canadian-flagged merchant ship. This project validated the use of biodiesel by generators, evaluate their performance as well as measure the reduction of polluting emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to determine the benefits of biodiesel in reducing maintenance costs and …
The project aimed to evaluate the use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel on cruise ships in the Old Port of Montréal. It was produced in collaboration with Rothsay (biodiesel manufacturer), Sine Nomine (a firm specializing in the commercialization of energy technologies) and four cruise companies, AML, Saute-Moutons, Bateau-mouche and L’éclusier, who put twelve of their ships at the disposal …
