Welcome to SEASTARS
SEASTARS revolutionizes maritime sustainability by integrating cutting-edge emission reduction and efficiency solutions into four retrofits and four new builds across inland, short-sea, and high-seas shipping. Through real-world demonstrations, SEASTARS displays practical, scalable solutions that empower shipowners and naval architects to design and operate greener, more efficient vessels
SEASTARS aims to provide Marine Engineers with cutting-edge decarbonisation modelling tools
The project aims to deliver energy efficiency of up to 20% for existing vessels
The project aims to upgrade 4 retrofit and deliver 4 new energy efficient vessel designs
SEASTARS will assist shipowners decide on their decarbonisation and efficiency-enhancing options
To achieve these goals, SEASTARS integrates multiple abatement techniques
By revolutionizing ship decarbonization strategies, SEASTARS empowers the sector with data-driven decision-making and innovative vessel design solutions.

SEASTARS revolutionizes maritime sustainability by integrating cutting-edge emission reduction and efficiency solutions into four retrofits and four new builds across inland, short-sea, and high-seas shipping. Through real-world demonstrations, SEASTARS displays practical, scalable solutions that empower shipowners and naval architects to design and operate greener, more efficient vessels.
From new builds to retrofits, SEASTARS demonstrates its adaptable, modular approach across inland, short-sea, and high-seas shipping, providing shipowners with cost-effective, high-impact pathways to sustainability.
Harnessing the power of advanced modeling tools, the SEASTARS consortium integrates next-generation hydrodynamic enhancements, energy-efficient propulsion, state-of-the-art machinery, alternative fuels, and carbon capture technologies. This holistic approach ensures optimal emission reduction and efficiency gains, tailored to each vessel’s operational needs.
SEASTARS' modular approach ensures that technologies can be added, scaled up, or replaced over time, adapting to evolving operational needs while maintaining a controlled investment risk for shipowners. Each technological option aligns with real-world operating profiles and emissions data, ensuring a flexible and traceable path towards maritime sustainability.
