CONCEPT DESIGNS – NET ZERO VESSELS

These six designs were produced by Macduff Ship Design as part of the Net Zero Vessels Project. Each design is tailored to an alternative fuel option – battery electric, methanol, or LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) – and fits one of three vessel types: under 10m creel boats, 15m Nephrops trawlers, and under 24m whitefish trawlers.

These designs have undergone rigorous proof-of-concept validation to ensure feasibility, and represent the culmination of a collaborative effort between Macduff Ship Designs, the University of Exeter’s Centre for Future Clean Mobility, and FIS.
