Scope

This is the Open Access repository of the project "Engineering, production and life-cycle management for the complete construction of large-length FIBRE-based SHIPs" (FIBRESHIP) funded by the European Commission under the H2020 framework.

FIBRESHIP intends to fill the various technology and knowledge gaps, and demonstrate the feasibility of using FRP materials in the three vessels categories: light merchant ships, passenger transport and leisure ships and special service vessels.

The project will develop a comprehensive guide covering design issues and approaches within those three categories that will form the basis for future guides and regulations for all ship types. In order to complete this task, representative ships for each category will be designed: a container ship, a ferry and an oceanographic ship.
