  2. Small Ferries Strategic Plan • Importance of lifeline ferries • social cohesion • economic generators • cultural and heritage Project part financed by the European Union’s INTERREG IVA Programme: Northern Ireland, the Border Region of Ireland and Western Scotland

  3. Small Ferries Strategic Plan • The issue • old ferries, some over 40 years • ageing infrastructure • economic challenges Project part financed by the European Union’s INTERREG IVA Programme: Northern Ireland, the Border Region of Ireland and Western Scotland

  7. Small Ferries Strategic Plan The Outcomes: • 1 strategic plan • 3 research projects • Of which • Research into demand, need and lifetime of ‘lifeline’ ferries • Assessment of port and harbour infrastructures & Small Ferries Design • Assessing procurement and finance options for new ferries and harbour infrastructure Project part financed by the European Union’s INTERREG IVA Programme: Northern Ireland, the Border Region of Ireland and Western Scotland

  8. Small Ferries Strategic Plan • Project Management and Communications Strategy – CMAL (Lead Partner) and Steering Committee • Defining the needs of island communities and demands for ‘lifeline ferries’ – Department for Regional Development, Northern Ireland Executive (Project Partner) and Steering Committee • Examine the design of small ferries - CMAL (Lead Partner) and Steering Committee • Examine the port infrastructure - Department of Rural, Community and Gaeltacht Affairs (Project Partner), Irish Government and Steering Committee • Examine innovative ways of financing new ferries - Department for Regional Development, Northern Ireland Executive (Project Partner) and Steering Committee • 6.Training - Department for Rural, Community, and Gaeltacht Affairs, Irish Government (Project Partner) and Steering Committee Project part financed by the European Union’s INTERREG IVA Programme: Northern Ireland, the Border Region of Ireland and Western Scotland

  10. Small Ferries Strategic Plan • The Future - Hybrid Ferry Project? • Reasons for Considering Hybrid Propulsion System • Reducing Emissions • Possibly zero emissions in harbour as vessel will be powered by batteries or shore supply while in harbour mode • Energy Savings • Fuel Savings, on existing vessels there are periods of low load running, which can increase SFOC by 5-10% • Reduced Operating Costs • Reduced noise when operating on batteries • Flexible and efficient operation, excellent redundancy • Less Installed Power by optimising machinery selection • The batteries onboard the vessel could be charged overnight from a shore supply, could be a wind turbine or from a source of renewable power (Hydro or Wind Farm).
