Hirs Alvarez, Aldo (author)Currently, the energy transition is a topic for discussion and many organizations are taking measures to reduce the effects of climate change. Armed forces are exempt of these new regulations on the grounds of national security, but some have already started taking steps to reduce the amount of harmful emissions. Due to the high efficiency and...master thesis 2023

Groenewegen, Rik (author)The first large offshore wind farms installed in the North Sea Region (NSR) soon reach their technical end of lifetime. The wind turbines in these farms will have to be decommissioned after power production has stopped. Currently offshore wind turbines are decommissioned based on a method called reversed installation, a time consuming and...master thesis 2022

Visser, Bobby (author)This study aims to provide a proof of concept of a plug-in hybrid electric superyacht. In this way, the yachting industry can help reduce carbon emissions worldwide and potentially increase comfort levels. The concept takes advantage of the typical operating profile of a yacht. A statistical analysis is performed to discretise this and obtain...master thesis 2021

Kries, Maarten (author)Superyachts are large emitters of greenhouse gases, as well as other emissions such as NO<sub>x</sub>, SO<sub>x</sub> and PM. In order to meet the climate goals set by the IMO, to reduce GHG emissions by 50% in 2050, alternative fuels are being investigated. Methanol is an alternative fuels with great potential. Methanol can be produced...master thesis 2021

van der Weg, Hedde (author)Traceability in complex ship design involves keeping track of the evolving relations between need, requirements and design. Such traceability is not fully developed in the current design process at DMO due to divisions in the design process and between design tools. This thesis proposes to use a single information model to facilitate...master thesis 2020

Koppes, Guus (author)The aim of this research is to create a yacht design for Feadship between 50 and 60 metres that will reduce costs and maintain the customer value. To do so, first, existing yachts are analysed to determine the requirements for the design. Second, an analysis is made of the engineering hours spend on a yacht in this range. Lastly, the engineering...master thesis 2020

van Velzen, Danique (author)When your dream yacht is being built at Feadship, the process starts with a blank page. This early stage is defined as the Sales phase. In consultation with a designer, the look and the feel of a yacht is easily captured. The expertise of the designer will lead to a yacht fitting the vision of the client. In the current process, the lines drawn...master thesis 2018
