A massive congratulations to project partners who represented the SATURN project at this special IMO workshop that focused on the “Relationship Between Energy Efficiency and Underwater Noise Radiated from Ships”. This workshop which was held over two days at the IMO Headquarters (18-19 September), was divided into four themes with consortium partners participating in two:

1. Reducing GHG and Noise Emissions: Setting the Stage

2. Energy Efficiency by Design and Related New Systems: What Do We Know About URN Relationships?

3. Energy Transition, Operational Optimizations and Related Solutions: What do we know about URN relationships?

4. Bridging the Gaps and Going to Scale: Building Better Information for Integrated GHG and Noise Reduction

The objective of this workshop, was to to share what solutions identified within the global objective of ship decarbonation, were also identified with regards to URN reduction. Participants were also committed to identify whether some solutions for Green House Gas emissions were likely to be neutral or detrimental for URN.
