The project will result in college learners and industry partners being able to access a commercially available vessel with a number of differing power installation options (diesel, electric, hybrid). The intended use of the vessel will allow users the experience of operation of such a vessel, to measure performance; and to undertake analysis of the commercial, financial and environmental benefit of each installation option.Requirements:To supply a power-driven vessel of approximately 6 metres overall length with braked trailer and assist Falmouth Marine School staff undertake the build through to completion of this project with the result that the School will own a marine vessel that is compliant with relevant legislation (RCD etc) with optional drive systems.
