STX France EOSEAS concept
Erick PELERIN, STX France SA
Symposium on the marine pollution regulations until 2012
As a logical step forward for ECORIZON® program, STX Europe Saint-Nazaire teams have studied a ship integrating all the technical solutions reached in the field of the 5 axis : Energy Management, Air emission management, Water management, Waste management and Sustainable Design. One of his main ambition level is to reduce the GHG emission by 50%.
Eoseas is a 305 meters long and 60 meters wide five hulled ship. She gathers in one ship all the environmental solutions being developed in Saint-Nazaire: Use of alternative energies for propulsion, thanks to sails installed on 5 masts covering 12.440 m² surface / Innovative propulsion system / Optimization of hydrodynamics characteristics including main hull air lubrication / Use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for operating new generation generators electrically feeding the ship and supplying the heating and cooling needs / Setting of solar panels (8300m2) for electrically feeding the ship / Waste to energy conversion using gasification technology / Double skin concept reducing the AC system energy demand / Water cycle optimization : wastewater recycling and raining water collection and recycling
