RINA has introduced a new ship propulsion concept named Mermaid, according to Hellenic Shipping News. This design is intended to prepare vessels for the future, particularly in the context of an uncertain decarbonisation pathway for the maritime industry.
The Mermaid concept aims to help shipowners achieve several key objectives. These include reducing fuel consumption and lowering emissions from their vessels, as reported by Hellenic Shipping News. The design also seeks to improve operational resilience.
Furthermore, the new concept is designed to protect the long-term asset value of ships. Hellenic Shipping News states that Mermaid offers flexibility, allowing it to adapt as the maritime industry's decarbonisation strategies continue to develop and change.
