PBI is coordinating a two-year development project for a zero emission fully electric short-sea/RoPax ship concept and business case, together with key players in the marine and energy industry. Beyond cutting edge, a first of a kind, and a giant leap forward in reducing emissions in shipping.

PBI is coordinating a consortium project with partners Rauma Marine Constructions, Viking Line, Åbo Akademi University and Kempower. The project, named Decatrip, aims to develop solutions that enable carbon-neutral shipping with initial focus on the Turku and Stockholm. It is estimated that this target can be reached by 2027. Business Finland has granted significant funding to the consortium, totalling EUR 1,596,000.

Viking Line, ESL Shipping and Attracs have recently joined forces with Åbo Akademi University and PBI Research Institute and are now taking the lead to solve the most pressing obstacles for reducing emissions and improving transparency in the industry.
