MARIN hosted the launch of the "Inland shipping fuel saving competition" which has been initiated by the VoortVarend Besparen (Full Sail Ahead with Savings) platform, the brainchild of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. Dunng a special mini competition held in Wageningen, some 42 vessels participated. MARIN's Full Mission Bridge Simulator proved the perfect tool for skippers and shipping companies to be confronted with their sailing behaviour.
