Lean Innovative Connected Vessels “LINCOLN” Project

Abstract

LINCOLN is a 36 months innovation action project funded by European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 under Blue Growth programme: “High value-added special-ized vessel concepts enabling more efficient servicing of emerging coastal and offshore activities”. Lincoln objective is to develop three new added value ves-sels with innovative on board equipment, using lean design methodology and IoT solutions, able to be used in diverse maritime coastal activities and sectors in an efficient and sustainable way. Computer and Technology Institute & Press "Dio-phantus" has developed the PortWeather application, an IoT application, gather-ing information and providing useful information on weather monitoring and forecasting for safe sea transportation especially rescue operations.
