CARGOSAFE
Cargosafe is a study commissioned by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to investigate cost-efficient technical solutions that effectively mitigate the risk of fires on container ships. The study is one of the actions put forward by EMSA to implement its 5-year strategy approved by its Administrative Board (formed by representatives of all EU Member States, Iceland, Norway, and the European Commission) which identified container ships as one of the safety concerns to be addressed. The recommendations from the study are expected to contribute to the ongoing work of the technical bodies within the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The study has been carried out by a consortium with DBI in the lead, and Research Institute of Sweden (RISE), Syddansk University (SDU), Odense Maritime Technology (OMT) and the international classification society Bureau Veritas as partners.
The consortium will examine the safety of various container ship types in four steps: hazard identification, technical analysis of existing detection- and extinguishing solutions, analysis of economic costs of the various solutions identified, and development of recommendations for EMSA based on these findings.
The CARGOSAFE project was initiated in late 2021 and ran until end of 2023
ReCoE project
This multidisciplinary project is part of a 5-year research program and the aim is to deliver solutions to reduce the Cost of Energy in sustainable offshore wind power energy systems.
The “Landesforschungsförderung Hamburg” is funding the development of international research cooperation in the Baltic Sea region and promoting research in maritime logistics with the project “Maritime Load Dependent Lead Times: Lead Time and Eco-Efficient Lean Management in the Maritime Supply Chain (M-LDLT)”.

ECOPRODIGI
This is an Interreg-project with aim of bringing eco-efficiency and digitalisation to maritime industry.
SDU is, in collaboration with other partners, in charge of the following responsibilities:
- Study the possibilities of internal data utilisation on-board for enhancing vessel performance.
- Assess eco-inefficiencies and digitalisation potential in the DFDS stowage operations
- Design and pilot digital vessel performance optimisation tools at Lauritzen and Island ferries vessel contexts
- Pilot big data based tools and test 3D scanning possibilities particularly in the DFDS stowage operations
