Grieg Star Open Hatch vessels

The Open Hatch concept

The idea and concept was developed in Bergen more

than 40 years ago. The vessels are tailormade for

transport of woodpulp, newsprint rolls, steel coils,

breakbulk, containers etc.

Fully open cargo holds

Gantry cranes with rain protection

De-humidification system

Tween decks

Gantry Cranes with

rain protection and sill

beam curtains secures

IDEAS (“Integrated DEsicion support Approach for Ship, fleet and maritime supply chain

design”)

Developing methods and tools for design of the transport

system in in a fleet and ship design context and vice versa

IDEAS - Main objectives

Development and testing of methods and tools for ship design in

changing and dynamic environments, in a transport system context

– Offering a more efficient design process

– Optimising the ship to fleet and market demands

– Minimising the risk of introducing sub-optimal links in the transport chain

– Ability to uncover hidden inefficiencies and opportunities

Primary focus simulation models, simulating ship designs in a

transport system/logistics setting

IDEAS – Preparations for the future

IDEAS Deliveries/expected outcome

Methodology for design of ships in a fleet or chain context;

Evaluation of ship designs in operational profiles over

selected cycles of operation

Methodology for design of logistics system/sailing pattern to

exploit market opportunities and maximise utilisation of fleet

and profitability

Prototype simulation/optimisation models/tools developed in

the project
