Flagship

The overall objective of FLAGSHIP Integrated Project is to improve the safety, environmental friendliness and competitiveness of European maritime transport. The project will contribute to a further increase in the capacity and reliability of freight and passenger services and to a reduction of negative impact from accidents and emissions.
The emphasis of the project is on on-board systems and procedures, ship management systems on shore, impact of new technology on present ship-, owner- and operator organisations, effective and efficient communication interfaces and impact of standards and regulations.
EMEC has a crucial role to play in this project and, once again via EMECRID, will demonstrate its capacity to tackle the future competition challenges and stay at the leading edge of the technology.

The FLAGSHIP project is funded by DG Research.
