This pre-study will establish whether it is possible to develop a decision tool for shipowners in which the different choices of technologies are mapped out with market maturity, availability, costs, and expected development will be assessed.

The aim is to help shipowners in their process of deciding on rebuilds and new builds.

Here, we want to look at the possibility of collecting the data and analysis that currently exist for development scenarios of construction, operation, maintenance, and tax costs to see if it is possible to set up a tool that can support the shipping companies during their decisions above - and in this way can accelerate the process and achieve green newbuilding and retrofitting.

Such a tool must consider the vessel's operating profile and main parameters, and further examine risks linked to, for example, the cost of new construction, various development scenarios for the price and availability of energy carriers, maintenance costs, second-hand value, CO2 tax developments, etc.

Furthermore, the project must propose:
- Which platform should such a tool run on?
- What data collection will be required?
- Which risk scenarios are natural to use?
