The maritime sector is currently facing numerous challenges, including meeting sustainability targets and adhering to regulatory requirements. Additionally, there is mounting pressure from supply chains seeking to reduce their scope 3 emissions. Consequently, the industry must tackle the hurdle of developing innovative, zero-emission methods to power both its existing fleet and the next generation of vessels.
Ricardo are uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive support to the global maritime industry. We provide policy and regulatory advice, including insights into the environmental impacts of products and the supply chain. We also possess unparalleled technical expertise in the design, testing, and manufacturing of zero-emission solutions for vessels and portside transport.
Sustainable propulsion
From multi-stack fuel cell technology to retrofitting internal combustion engines, Ricardo can support with zero-emission propulsion solutions
Multi-stack hydrogen fuel cell solution
Ricardo experts have designed and engineered an optimised, high-power, multi-stack hydrogen fuel cell solution which delivers significantly enhanced power density in terms of both volume and mass.
Decarbonised ICE
Ricardo is supporting clients in this transition to decarbonised ICE propulsion. We support clients throughout the complete development process, from initial concept to design, validation and certification.
Single cylinder research engines
Ricardo's single cylinder research engines have been pivotal in advancing decarbonisation efforts. They enable researchers and engineers to conduct preliminary testing efficiently and cost-effectively before transitioning to more expensive multi-cylinder tests
Advanced sustainable fuels
Ricardo can support you to navigate changing legislations, identify and implement sustainable fuel solutions including hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels to reduce emissions across a wide range of maritime applications.
Vehicle integrated controls and simulation (VICS)
Ricardo designs and develops complete systems integration programmes. Our experts manage the complexities and deliver solutions to facilitate seamless integration of components and systems for clients across the maritime sector.
Electric propulsion systems
Ricardo provides unparalleled expertise in hybridisation and electrification which provides a flexible, bespoke solution for smaller vessels.
Understanding your sustainability impacts
Understand current and future environmental impacts across your supply chain and grasp how legislative drivers are shaping the future of the maritime industry.
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
We enable you to get a deeper understanding of the environmental and social impacts of your current and future vessels and help you to identify suitable propulsion technologies.
Policy and regulation
We advise policy makers and legislators around the world and use these insights to help organisations understand and increase adaptability to legislative challenges including those aimed at tackling GHG emissions.
Net zero pathways
Ricardo helps organisations to develop robust net zero strategies, action-orientated net zero roadmaps and supports implementation and reporting.
Safety and mangement of chemical risks
Ricardo provides incident support, expert advice and guidance which is available globally through our 24/7/365 telephone emergency response service. Ricardo provides bespoke hydrogen awareness, safety and incident response training.
Sustainability and ESG strategy and reporting
Ricardo provide expert ESG and sustainability advice to support your business in creating long-term value and business resilience no matter where you are on your ESG and sustainability journey.
Ricardo expertise
Ricardo is actively supporting the maritime sector to accelerate and optimise their decarbonisation strategies’. We understand the long-term ambition to reach net-zero by 2050 and are actively collaborating with the IMO, with our experts informing both the setting of targets and the formulation of future policies aimed at tackling GHG emissions.
Ricardo is working with sustainable HYdrogen powered Shipping consortium (sHYpS), leading on the specification, engineering, and design of a world-leading 400 kW net fuel cell sub-module with a common, optimised balance of plant for multiple stacks, and a 40-foot containerised multi-megawatt power plant that combines the outputs of eight fuel cell modules, which has now achieved Approval In Principle from Lloyd's Register.
