The details of the schema above, can be broken down and detailed in the bulletpoints below:

• Electric / hybrid ships (4), in this case passenger ships and Ro-Ro, are a structural element of the proposal as they are one of the main off-takers of the energy produced by the RES units of the islands. These ships are loaded either in a central port (2) through cold ironing or shore power services. The development of electricity services can be done between one of the eligible islands.

• The proposal also includes the construction and operation of two (2) electric / hybrid ships (4) through cooperation with the Department of Shipbuilding of NTUA, a Greek shipyard of suitable scope – e.g. ProMarine Shipyards SA – and specialized LNG engine company – e.g. Wärtsilä. In this context it can be developed in a central port (2) or on an important eligible island (in this case island-4) and a small LNG unit and catering services (bunkering). One is expected to play an important role. which will coordinate the project (1) and develop the LNG station. Another important off-taker can be desalination plants (with reverse osmosis technology) in central high-demand islands (6)

• The proposed coupling of energy from RES and Maritime Transport addresses to a large extent the very important problem of “matching” the production of electricity from stochastic RES (wind and PV), and the demand as they have been recognized – in addition to consumers in local level – and reliable potential off-takers of different levels of absorption safety (respectively: hybrid ships-electric vehicles, desalination plants and H2 production plants).

• ProMarine will be the administrator of the control system of production and distribution of energy (electricity, LNG and H2) in collaboration with a specialized company (see above) but also the coordinator of the project (1) in combination with a specialized research body (p .x. NTUA, CERTH, etc.).
