We had two very energetic and dense days with the first review of the MIT Maritime Consortium going over the full details of the projects:

Nuclear Propulsion
-Assessment of nuclear reactor technologies for maritime propulsion
-Neo-Panamax ship design via microreactor propulsion conversion
-Development of nuclear ship safety handbook (to be and announced and published soon!)

Data Analytics
-Data-driven performance-evaluation of energy saving methods
-Multimodal deep learning for marine wind forecasting (supported by the Doherty Chair)

Manufacturing of spare parts onboard
-Wire arc additive manufacturing of marine alloys

Alternative Fuels
-Feasibility and Future Uptake of Low-carbon Maritime Fuels (supported by MITEI)
-Marine ecological impacts of the ammonia fuel transition

Hydrodynamics
-Real-time ship operation navigation and transit efficiency using on-board sensing data
-Net drag reduction in streamlined bodies with vortex generators

Autonomy and Cybersecurity
-Multi-ship collision avoidance: autonomy and evaluation Methods
-Autonomy-enabled port operations
-Operational integration of AI-driven cybersecurity operations in maritime cyber-physical systems

Big thanks to our Founding and Innovation members for amazing engagement, technical input and support!
