The advisory group consists of ship owners and other stakeholders, representing the five application areas – Ferry, Passenger Ships, Work Boats, Offshore and Cargo – addressed in the project. Through the advisory group, ideas, experiences and expectations from outside the consortium are applied in JOULES, helping the projects participants to guide the project towards the needs of the industry and research. FSG as project coordinator leads this group of external project advisors and organises periodically meetings to present ongoing results and optimise the work in the project.
