1. 1. Enabling a sustainable transition of a waterborne transport system : By identifying essential aspects and actors

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Julia Apelgren; Sara Kronvall; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable transition; Waterborne transport system; Transport system; Public transport system; Fossil free fuels; System theory; Passenger ferry; Commuter ferry; Electric ferry; Hållbar omställning; Vattenburet transport system; Transport system; Kollektivtrafik; Fossila bränslen; Systemteori; Passagerarfärja; Pendelbåt; Elektrisk färja;

   Abstract : In light of the emerging consequences of climate change, there is a need for a sustainable transition of the marine sector, including waterborne transport systems, towards implementation of fossil free fuels and technologies. The thesis limits its scope to solely include passenger ferries that are suitable for calm waters and often operates on shorter distances, which are often incorporated in a public transport system and/or archipelago traffic.

3. 2. Wireless Charging Technology Infrastructure for Ferries in Göteborg (Västra Götaland)

   University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Christopher Akinboyewa; Elena Simona Udrescu; [2023]
   Keywords : Wireless power transfer; Electric ferries; shore infrastructure; swot analysis; electrification; Vesta;

   Abstract : The maritime transport sector makes a significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, playing a consistent and increasing part in global CO2 emissions. Electrification of marine transportation is a key and necessary step for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change. READ MORE

4. 3. Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of electric hydrofoil boats and fossil driven alternatives

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Dennis Olsson; Felix Glaunsinger; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The pressure on the planet from Global Warming mainly originates from human activity since the Industrial Revolution. If the average temperature would increase by 1.5 degrees compared to pre- industrial level, this could highly affect areas such as biodiversity, food availability and water levels, to just name a few.
