Green Maritime Technology
Aim is the implementation of the principles and strategies declared by regulatory and policy-making bodies (such as IMO, HELCOM, the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and international agreements on sustainable development) regarding various marine vehicles, especially focusing on high speed crafts.
The main research studies of the research group are divided into four fields:
- Safety: The main focus is the development of methods for reducing the effect of HSC motion for the crew and on-board systems
- Emission Reduction: This field focuses on fuel-efficient hull forms, energy saving devices, optimisation, and zero-emission propulsion systems.
- Smartization: The focus is on smart ship design and Maritime 4.0 Implementation.
- Hydrodynamics of Marine Vehicles: Enhancing hydrodynamic efficiency is in focus when working on solutions to enhance resistance and propulsion.
Green Maritime Technology Research Group
Tenured Associate Professor Serkan Turkmen started to work on 01st of May 2025 at Taltech within the Green Maritime Technology research group, Estonian Maritime Academy.
Prof Turkmen lectures and researches in the area of ship hydrodynamic and marine engineering, specialising in net-zero. He has been participating national and international collaborative projects related to novel propulsion and steering systems, underwater radiated noise, marine biofouling, hydrogen, battery, energy saving devices, sustainable materials, and marine renewables.
Prof Turkmen is also Chairperson of the Hydro Testing Forum which focuses on marine hydrodynamic testing, see HTF | Hydro Testing Forum | U.K.
