Blue Star Maritime S.A (Blue Star Ferries), a subsidiary of Attica Group, has won a Silver Award at the Energy Mastering Awards 2015 event in the category Energy Efficiency Management – Means of Public Transport, for its pilot implementation and operation of a photovoltaic unit onboard the Blue Star Delos.
This solar technology deployment is the first of its kind to be executed onboard a ship and is expected to lead to a range of further developments for renewable energy sources in shipping.
Blue Star Ferries has also been cooperating with solar tech company Eco Marine Power (EMP) since October 2014. Due to the promising results from the pilot application, Blue Star Ferries has decided to further upgrade the system while also looking into expanding onboard other ships of the Attica Group.
