A major EU-funded collaborative undertaking has investigated numerous technology directions to make shipping cleaner and more energy efficient.
Partly funded by the EU, Hercules-2 adopted a holistic approach to help the shipping industry move in the green direction. The project represents the follow-up phase of the Hercules R&D programme for large engine technologies, which was originally conceived in 2004 by two major European engine manufacturing groups. The Hercules-2 technologies will eventually be employed aboard large ships.
