communication of new knowledge retrieved from interdisciplinary ways

of working.

• Core values:

– Environmental durability as well as work environment sustainability

– Competitive shipping industry

– Networking


• The Swedish Shipowners’ Association

• The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation

Systems

• The Swedish Maritime Administration

• Region Västra Götaland

Lighthouse is funded by:


Geographic location

Eco Ship – analyses the

overall impact of fuel sourcing

Decision support – e g:

What is the preferable option, environmentally and

economically – using destillate fuel or HFO with scrubbing?

Are there other viable options, e g: Natural gas? Biofuels?
