- Additional information
- The methods proposed in this paper were implemented in a software package that is now available to EU shipyards, ship owners, and architectures via the AES cloud (https://www2.atlantec-es.com/cloud/index.php/login). Commercialisation of the developed software is now under discussion with VesselsLife.com. A confidential agreement was signed on 12 November 2020 with EPSILON Malta Ltd (contact: M Bonazounta) who are coordinating with VesselsLife.com. This research also strengthened the partnership with Ferguson Marine by providing an optimal engine selection method for their West of Scotland short-route ferries (contact: C Volbeda).
