The EU Waterborne Technology Roadmaps on offshore vessels, cruise vessels and ports are now for open consultation.
The consultation documents for offshore vessels, cruise vessels and ports are available from Monday 06 July and will remain open for input for two weeks. The final roadmaps will later be presented to the European Commission during Connecting Europe Days in September.
Maritime CleanTech with leading role
In the current roadmap process, Maritime CleanTech has been responsible for leading the development of the technology roadmaps for the ferry and offshore vessel segments.
The roadmaps are important because they identify which technologies need to be developed in Europe in the years ahead, highlighting concrete needs from industry, and contribute to shaping priorities in European research and innovation programmes such as Horizon Europe.
“We would like to thank our many partners for the strong interest and valuable input throughout this process. Their insights are essential to ensure that the roadmaps reflect real industry needs and support solutions that can be implemented in practice,” says Marte Jensen, Project and Funding Manager at Maritime CleanTech.
About this consultation
The Waterborne Technology Platform is consulting the European waterborne sector on nine Technology Roadmaps implementing the Waterborne Technology Leadership document.
The roadmaps cover the maritime technology sector, port ecosystems, inland waterway transport, short sea shipping, ferries,cruise, oceangoing shipping, offshore vessels, and the blue economy.
Each roadmap sets out a pathway for research, development, innovation, upscaling and deployment to 2035, 2040 and 2050, to support the competitiveness, resilience, sustainability and strategic autonomy of the European waterborne sector.
