Innovate UK is planning to hold a competition for research to improve energy efficiency aboard ships in 2015.
The UK innovation agency formerly known as the Technology Strategy Board has announced it will invest up to £7.5 million in projects to improve maritime energy management. It will focus in particular on the technological challenges affecting the production, management and use of energy on vessels.
