Background

In recognition of its responsibility for the economy and the environment, the state government has launched the GreenShipping Lower Saxony Competence Center at the Leer and Elsfleth locations, which addresses and evaluates current and important issues in a targeted and needs-based manner and develops possible solutions in the field of GreenShipping. Extensive preparatory work by the Weser-Ems Maritime Strategy Council was taken into account. The aim is to match the available specialist skills with the relevant problems and to find a solution at the highest technical level as part of projects as required. With the GreenShipping Competence Center, Lower Saxony is addressing the specific challenges, conditions and wishes of the maritime industry with the aim of making shipping more resource-efficient and environmentally friendly under economic conditions. The GreenShipping Lower Saxony Competence Center is intended to seek dialogue with those involved in environmental problems across sectors and coordinate solution options. On the basis of an efficient infrastructure, the Competence Center can also offer a platform for application-oriented research.

5 fields of action

Ship Technology & Design

On the right course through ballast water management, exhaust gas aftertreatment or antifouling.

Innovative Propulsion systems

Always one step ahead with slow steaming, alternative fuel or propeller and rudder design optimization.

Logistics & Routing

Ready to travel – reach your destination quickly through fleet planning, weather routing or intelligent maritime transport systems.

Simulation & Safety

Integrated assistance systems, sensors and sensor data processing provide safety for the crew, ship, etc.

Green Ports

Prepared for all eventualities on land through shore power supply, wastewater or garbage disposal or environmental management during port operations.

Structure and Buildup

Research and Development

The Lower Saxony GreenShipping Competence Center is based on two pillars:
The R&D pillar for expanding applied research and development in the field of GreenShipping in Lower Saxony, by expanding GreenShipping R&D capacities at universities, building on existing maritime competencies and…

Network

..the network pillar to support maritime companies in Lower Saxony in the field of GreenShipping, especially with regard to their innovation and cooperation activities, on the basis of a Lower Saxony GreenShipping network with a strong transfer and project development orientation.
