This solicitation, "A Study on Vessel Design Challenge," from the Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration, seeks proposals for design-stage studies focused on improving vessel fuel efficiency through systematic design approaches. The project emphasizes fluid dynamic modeling to predict benefits and integrate technologies, with a preference for U.S.-based entities and vessels operating under the U.S. flag. Direct measurements are not expected, and the focus is on design and prediction rather than physical prototypes.
