Abstract
Transports are well known to be major contributors to
noise pollution. Noise and vibrations (N&V) abatement
naturally appears as an important objective for the
greening of surface transports. The SILENV project is a
response to this requirement for the maritime domain. The
consequences of N&V emissions from the ships are
multiple. N&V emissions constitute a disturbance for both
passengers and harbour area residents, and in some cases
it may be a health issue for crew members. Moreover, the
increasing ship traffic-generated underwater noise
causes ecological nuisances on marine wildlife. The
project assesses the problem of reducing the
ship-generated Noise & Vibration pollution with a
holistic approach. After a definition of realistic target
levels, existing experimental data from main types of
ships and on-site measurements have been analysed to
identify the most critical sources of noise and
vibration. Innovative solutions have been individually
assessed on technical and economical criteria. Finally a
pre-normative requirements formulation , called "Green
Label", is presented aimed at reducing the noise inside
the ships as well as outside in air and water
