IMarEST New Marine Partner Aims for Environment

"We are launching a consortium on Ship Efficiency and Energy Storage Assessment and are talking to IMarEST about becoming a partner in this consortium," says Yann Rageul, Project Director Marine Sector of Ricardo UK Ltd. "As an established leader in engineering services delivering emissions reduction solutions and novel technology we understand the challenges facing the marine industry. Becoming an IMarEST Marine Partner enables us to increase awareness of all that we have to offer to help vessel owners conform to emissions legislation, improve ship efficiency, and reduce fuel consumption while minimising capital investment. We are also able to help them overcome the challenges of selecting the best propulsion architecture. 

"IMarEST's vision is a world where marine resources and activities are sustained, managed and developed for the benefit of humanity, so Ricardo's decision to join our Marine Partners scheme to support the marine industry in meeting its challenges by offering its expertise in clean technology, hits exactly the right note," says Dr Marcus Jones, Chief Executive of IMarEST. "Their knowledge of energy storage solutions, hybrid and electric propulsion systems, fuel efficient engines, gearbox and driveline technology, as well as electronic and telematics systems takes our combined goals even further. We look forward to working with them in the coming months and years." 

Ricardo addresses all the industry drivers with a team of more than 1500 engineers with expertise covering all aspects of energy management including propulsion systems, auxiliary power units, hybrid propulsion configuration, electrical architecture, energy storage and intelligent ship management.
