In May 2010, a Symposium focused on Energy Efficiency on Fishing Vessels will be organised in Vigo, Spain (http://www.turismodevigo.org/index_en.php)
E-FISHING 2010 is the first of a series of biannual conferences devoted to the study of energy efficiency in the fishing world. This symposium aims to be a forum where experts will present the latest advances in research and development aimed at improving the energy efficiency of fishing vessels and systems.
The Symposium topics include:
• Hydrodynamics
• Manoeuvring and propulsion systems
• Electrical systems
• Fishing gear
• Engines, fuels, additives and emissions
• New hull concepts
• Energy efficiency control and monitoring systems
• Ship projects
• Rules and regulations
• Auxiliary machinery
• Routing optimization
• Renewable energy
• Fuel cells
• Innovative refrigeration systems
• AES concept (All Electric Ship)
A leaflet with Symposium CALL FOR PAPERS is attached, encouraging all of you to participate. I kindly ask you to forward this information to all your contacts.
Is is expected a FREE ”Research and Development Area” where non-profit organizations can show their advances in R&D related to fishing efficiency.
