Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Transports are well known to be major contributors to noise pollution. Noise and vibrations (N&V) abatement naturally appears as an important objective for in the greening of surface transports. The SILENV project is a response to this requirement for the maritime domain. The consequences of N&V emissions from the ships are multiple. N&V emissions constitute a disturbance for both passengers and harbour area residents, and in some cases it may be a health issue for crew members. Moreover, the increasing ship traffic-generated underwater noise causes ecological nuisances on marine wildlife. This project proposes a holistic approach to reduce ship-generated Noise & Vibration pollution. After a definition of realistic target levels, existing experimental data from main types of ships and on-site measurements will be analysed to identify the most critical sources of noise and vibration. Innovative solutions will be listed and individually assessed on technical and economical criteria. These solutions shall subsequently be virtually tested and refined on numerical models of entire ships, thus allowing us to scientifically grade N&V improvements. SILENV’ final main deliverable is a “green label” proposal that includes recommended target levels for N&V and associated design guidelines.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Noise and vibration generated by ships cause serious discomfort for the crew, passengers, seacoast residents and marine ecosystem. The SILENV project proposed a global approach to investigate all of these noise-related annoyances and suggested ways to limit the noise.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Ships emit a lot of noise. Prolonged exposure to high noise can lead to hearing loss among passengers and crew members. Noise pollution can also be harmful to the ecosystem, since marine mammals use sound for finding their way around, looking for food and communicating. In many cases, the ship noise is discomforting for the urban population in ports.
The EU-funded 'Ships oriented Innovative solutions to reduce noise and vibrations' (SILENV) project focused on the reduction of the environmental impact of ships. To achieve its goal, the project set out to investigate all maritime noise-related annoyances. The team of researchers surveyed noise pollution level on board ships, in the environment of ports and in the water. They also developed modelling methods to calculate the damaging effect of noise at a distance. As a result, the team proposed a 'green label' applicable to most types of ships.
The application of this label including noise and vibrations requirements as well as associated guidelines, should significantly limit ship-produced noise. This action stands to drastically improve the health and safety of fishermen and comfort for passengers, and reduce the negative effect of noise pollution on marine ecosystems in the future.
