In this paper, the energy-saving and green solutions developed within the RETROFIT55 EU project are presented. The combination of technologies elaborated depends on the operational scenario of the retrofitted ship, the highest gains in fuel oil consumption, and the reduction of harmful life cycle emissions. Two innovative solutions namely Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP), Air Lubrication System (ALS), as well as mature technologies, such as operational optimization, smart energy management of electrical systems, and hydrodynamics-based design optimization, are developed and integrated. The project aims at setting up a web-based platform through which the user can browse a catalogue and combine different retrofitting options. Each option is described in terms of surrogate models which allow to compare the different configurations in terms of specific key performance indicators.
