The METRO project (Maritime Environment-friendly TRanspOrt systems) unites 7 partners in a close collaboration to improve the environmental sustainability of maritime transport, with particular regard to the tourist connections of the north-Adriatic area, through the networking of universities, companies, and Public authorities for maritime transport and territorial development.
The objective is pursued both from a technical point of view (development and use of hybrid propulsion systems, storage systems, and ground power systems), and from a logistics point of view (adaptation of port energy infrastructures, integration of energy sources renewable energy), for naval units dedicated to the transport of passengers and goods in the North Adriatic area.
The University of Trieste is the Lead Partner of the project, leading the partnership made up of Wärtsilä Italia spa, the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea, the Tehnomont shipyard in Pola, the Istrian development agency and the - IDA ltd., faculties of Maritime Studies and Engineering of the University of Rijeka.
The webinar will illustrate part of the activities carried out in the project, with particular reference to the development of new hybrid-propulsion ships through an innovative design approach, capable of making the most of state-of-the-art data collection and processing capabilities.
