total retrofit design space within reasonable time, which means that ship owners cannot be sure that the retrofit solutions are the best for a given vessel. FIT-HORIZONS aims to solve this by using a machine learning-based multi-fidelity approach and combining operational and experimental data series, advanced AI models, and advanced dimensionality techniques to build surrogate models that will then be used to construct 6 synthesis models representing each of the 6 ship types defined by the ZEWT Partnership. Moreover, a cost-benefit model will be integrated with the synthesis models to consider regulatory compliance and LCA metrics across the vessels’ lifetime. Together, this will allow for a flexible and efficient design process in which multiple combinations of retrofit technologies can be analysed at the same time to identify optimal retrofit solutions for a given vessel. Finally, virtual demonstrations will be carried out where ship designers will collaborate with ship owners to design 6 optimised retrofit solutions for vessels from each of the 6 ship types that will be ready to
