Innovative solutions are being sought for this Innovation Exchange challenge looking at the development of marinised battery packs. The innovation exchange is looking for innovative battery pack designs that would be suitable in a marine environment. Solutions must consider the different demands of vessels with a particular focus on light-weighting. Any solution should offer a marked performance improvement over current market options.
Control of climate on board marine vessels
Summary
The Innovation Exchange programme is working alongside a large UK company. This business is looking to engage innovators and innovative companies that can help them solve a significant challenge they are trying to overcome in relation to a key operational issue. The Challenge Owner will engage with the suppliers of innovation to support development, if necessary, to better suit the application. The Challenge Owner operates a number of large marine vessels (ships) with significant cooling and air quality requirements. Due to ongoing issues with the current system, based around condensers, the challenge owner is looking for novel approaches to ensuring the health and comfort of those on board through climate control. The Challenge Owner is willing to consider investment in potentially successful solutions.

Collision avoidance and sensor technologies

This Innovation Exchange challenge is seeking to identify solution providers capable of providing a detection system to assist with collision avoidance during vessel operation at sea and whilst in harbour. Solutions should consider the unique operating modes of the vessel as well as the often-harsh maritime environment in which it will be required to operate.
