Start year 2012 End year 2013 Funding (€) € 25,000 Website http://www.ismar.cnr.it/file/file-generali/iceef-2011/ICEEF2012%20-%20RF_final.pdf Summary On the basis of the experiences of ICEEF 2010 and ICEEF 2011, further information has been collected during the renewal of the service contract No. 256660, ICEEF 2012, in relation to the state of the art of fisheries technology. The data collection focused in specific topics that can be essential to obtain important results in terms of energy efficiency, mainly related to technical issues, such as propulsion systems innovations. Nevertheless, there was a lack of activities in the funding of energy saving. Most of the material collected has been obtained by exhibitions and conferences. During these visits it has been possible also to further promote the website, considering that a rising up of website contacts has been noticed after such events.
Goals:
Information collection for Fuel efficiency in fisheries, with a focus on the following topics: (1) Engines, fuels (incl. biofuels), emissions, reduced environmental impacts; (2) Vessel design and technology including propulsion systems, new hull systems, fishing boat design, auxiliary power; (3) Vessel operation (maintenance of hulls and engines); (4) Use of alternative or renewable Fuel sources (wind, hydrogen fuel cells etc.); (5) Efficient fishing gears (e.g. reduced gear drag), selectivity; (6) Fishing tactics and techniques (e.g. from active to passive techniques, routing optimization etc.); (7) Fuel management systems, Fuel monitoring and control systems, Fuel audits, other Fuel uses onboard (e.g. auxiliary engines); (8) Innovative refrigeration systems; (9) Rules and regulations (to the extent that EU or national rules impact significantly on Fuel consumption by restricting/stimulating energetically suboptimal vessels); (10) Other innovations and techniques.
