EU-MOP OVERVIEW Elimination Units for Marine Oil Pollution (EU-MOP): The Concept Harilaos N. PsaraftisProfessor, NTUA Athens, 9 June 06
Strategic Objectives Project EU-MOP addresses (FP6-2003-Transport-3) Objective 2 “Advanced design and production techniques”, Research Domain 2.5 of the Thematic Priority 6.2 “Sustainable Surface Transport”: …. Emphasis will be put on clean, cost and energy effective processes, sub-sea robotics and autonomous systems for maintenance and inspection, innovative dismantling and recycling operations including the removal of oil slicks at sea.
EU-MOP Project Goal • The goal of EU-MOP project is to introduce an innovative, reliable and advanced oil combating ‘total solution’, thereby enhancing the existing oil confrontation capability and the protection of marine environment
EU-MOP Project Features • Strong consortium • Highly interdisciplinary • Leading edge R&D • Innovation • Industrial appeal • Advisory committee
Interdisciplinary approach • Vessel design • Robotics • Propulsion • Oil processing • Cost-benefit • Response logistics • Validation (proof of concept) • Dissemination
Some facts • Project start: 1 Feb. 2005 • Duration: 3 years • 13 partners from 7 EU countries • Total man-months: 235 • Total budget: 2.900.00 EUR • EC funding: 1.900.000 EUR
