Case Study

New Greenpeace Vessel

Project title: New Greenpeace Vessel
Project Summary:

Longitude supported Greenpeace with a range of ship design services including alternative fuel design and engineering.

About the project

Engineering consultancy and ship designer Longitude Engineering have recently completed a project to provide alternative fuel systems engineering for a ground-breaking new vessel design by Dykstra Naval Architects, for Greenpeace International.

Scope of Work

  • Designed alternative fuel systems for green hydrogen and e-methanol.
  • Engineered hybrid propulsion power systems for emissions-free operation.
  • Integrated battery storage and solar PV for renewable energy use.
  • Developed onboard marine systems to support sustainable technologies.
  • Collaborated with Dykstra Naval Architects on vessel systems integration.
  • Contributed specialist expertise to enable full zero-emissions capability.

 

Results

  • Enabled design of a fully emissions-free, 75m Greenpeace vessel.
  • Integrated multiple green technologies into a cohesive energy system.
  • Supported development of one of the world’s most sustainable ships.
  • Demonstrated the viability of alternative fuels for high-seas operations.
  • Advanced innovation in zero-emissions marine propulsion.
  • Strengthened Longitude’s position as a leader in clean ship design.

The value we delivered

Alternative Fuel Expertise: Brought deep technical knowledge in hydrogen and e-methanol systems to a complex, multi-fuel setup.

Systems Integration: Ensured seamless interaction between wind, solar, battery, and alternative fuel technologies.

Sustainability Leadership: Strengthened Greenpeace’s mission with practical engineering that supports global climate goals.

Innovation Enablement: Translated ambitious environmental targets into viable, real-world engineering solutions.

Collaborative Engineering: Worked closely with architects and shipbuilders to deliver a fully integrated, future-ready vessel.
