Lowering the carbon footprint of shipbuilding

Efficient design, sustainable technologies and optimised performance capabilities are more important than ever today in the marine industry. 

We have been working alongside our clients to develop vessels that are designed and built to the highest of standards. Through listening to our customers, USP Maritime is building a reputation for light-weight fuel-efficient commercial and pleasure vessels which reduce costs for shipyards, customers and end users whilst ultimately lowering the carbon footprint of our output.

USP Maritime is material agnostic and has been recently working on projects which utilise recycled steel and aluminium as well as eco-friendly composite materials. Materials that are either recycled or can again be recycled at the end of the vessel’s life are hopefully the future of the industry.

Hull design efficiency, leading to reduced fuel consumption equating to lower running costs and lower emissions are also part of the parcel of the project our team of design engineers have been supporting. Coupled with smart systems design and OEM selection as well as systems optimisation USP has been able to demonstrate that detailed cost-effective production design can go hand in hand with environmentally sympathetic considerations.

By adopting the principles of a circular economy; from designing out waste and pollutants in production through to optimising product and material life span, USP Maritime has been using our cutting edge design and engineering software to radically increase virtualisation, de-materialisation, transparency, and feedback-driven intelligent design.
