The EU LIFE+ EfficientShip project (2014-2018) demonstrated the efficiency of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) unit for reducing fuel use and GHG emissions of fishing vessel by 5-10%. The demonstration ORC prototype was successfully installed in the engine room of the ship, using the exhaust gases of the main engine as a primary heat source. The KFO was involved in the early stage testing of the new technology on one of the member’s vessels.
