Dear partners of SFI Smart Maritime,
Save the date: network meeting, 16-17 October
The next Network meeting will take place in Værnes, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, on October 16-17th. Add to calendar. Program and registration information will be communicated in august.
Work in progress
Mid-year progress report
A compiled progress report for the first half of 2018, presented to the Board on June 21st, is available for consultation on the website: Smart Maritime mid-year status report 2018. It presents main achievements per WP/SP, milestones 2018, challenges and further work.
New initiatives
Following the Network meeting in Bergen, SFI Smart Maritime has launched new project initiatives and
invited SFI partners to further dialog. Several grant applications to the Research Council are currently under preparation, and plans for further work within the SFI will be communicated in September and discussed at the next Network meeting.
Midway Evaluation of the SFI
As announced earlier, our SFI will go through a midway evaluation process starting in 2018, ending in 2019 with the decision from the Research Council whether to extend the funding of the Centre for the final period 2020-2023. This mid-way evaluation will be carried out by a review panel. The SFI will deliver a set of documents serving as input to the evaluation. The input from industrial partners will be in line with the reflections presented by each at the Bergen meeting in April. Detailed plan and information on involvement of SFI partners, management, Board, Advisory committee, will be sent in a separate e-mail to each partner's primary contact person. Read more about mid-way evaluation on RCN webpage.

Recruitment
- Smart Maritime is hosting NTNU MSc student from NTNU Astrid Vamråk Solheim this summer. She will study the influence on applying different weather data sources when evaluating hydrodynamic performance from numerical routing approaches (Gymir). She will also look into issues related to manoeuvrability at low speeds in adverse conditions.
- Anna Ringvold from NTNU IndEcol is leaving Smart Maritime this summer. We are grateful for her significant contribution to Smart Maritime, notably the first version of the model MariTEAM (Maritime Transport Environmental Assessment Model), and wish her the best of luck!
- New PhD project on speed loss and added power due to steering and course instability, using a combination of numerical simulation and in-service data. WP2 is currently recruiting a new PhD student focusing on ship performance monitoring and optimization.
