Siamo orgogliosi di annunciare l’avvio del progetto BOOST – Best Option for Onboard Sail Technologies, un’iniziativa di ricerca e sviluppo per la realizzazione di un innovativo selettore di vele per navi mercantili e passeggeri.

Il progetto nasce con l’obiettivo di sviluppare un software avanzato per supportare armatori, progettisti navali e operatori del settore nella scelta e nell’integrazione delle tecnologie eoliche di propulsione (WAPS – Wind-Assisted Propulsion Systems) a bordo di navi esistenti o di nuova costruzione.
BOOST permetterà di valutare in modo oggettivo e sistemico le diverse tecnologie e configurazioni, analizzando dal punto di vista tecnico-economico tre delle principali tecnologie WAPS oggi disponibili sul mercato:

• vela rigida;
• rotore Flettner;
• suction wing.

Grazie a un motore di ottimizzazione dedicato, il software sarà in grado di individuare la configurazione più efficace per ciascuna nave, combinando numero, tipologia e dimensione dei dispositivi in funzione degli obiettivi economici e normativi e dei vincoli operativi.

L’approccio di BOOST sarà inoltre integrato: oltre all’efficienza tecnica, economica e ambientale, saranno considerate stabilità, tenuta al mare e robustezza della nave, per garantire che le soluzioni individuate siano concretamente realizzabili e sicure.

Il progetto rappresenta anche un’importante occasione di crescita per Sea Green Engineering, attraverso l’acquisizione di nuovo know-how, oltre al rafforzamento della collaborazione con Nasdis pds, realtà altamente specializzata nella modellazione numerica e nelle teorie fisiche dell’idrodinamica.

Con BOOST vogliamo trasformare la ricerca in uno strumento concreto a supporto della transizione energetica del settore marittimo, sviluppando una piattaforma capace di guidare le scelte verso le soluzioni più efficienti e sostenibili.

Il progetto è finanziato nell’ambito del Programma Regionale FESR Friuli Venezia Giulia 2021-2027, con il cofinanziamento dell’Unione Europea.

Una nuova sfida per Sea Green Engineering. Un nuovo passo verso una navigazione più efficiente, sostenibile e innovativa.

L’obiettivo è affrontare una sfida comune: contribuire a rendere le operazioni marittime di nuova generazione più intelligenti e sostenibili.

Il progetto sarà presentato a BEX – Beyond Exploration, in programma dal 23 al 25 settembre al Rimini Expo Centre, presso lo stand mareFVG, Padiglione C1 – Stand 104.

La partecipazione è realizzata grazie al supporto di M.A.R.E. TC FVG – Maritime, Aerospace, Renewable Energies Technology Cluster FVG, che ha contribuito a creare un punto di incontro tra competenze, tecnologie ed ecosistemi dedicati all’innovazione.

Sea Green Engineering supported the project as engineering subcontractor to Ant. Topic s.r.l., providing engineering expertise for the integration of the OceanWings rigid wind sail and a hybrid battery container onboard the vessel.

Our scope covered structural integration, stability assessment, systems integration, manoeuvrability analysis and the updating of ship documentation affected by the installation. Sea Green Engineering also carried out the lightship weight survey and inclining test at the Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. shipyard in Japan.

The Maria Topic demonstrates how wind-assisted propulsion, energy storage and solar power technologies can be combined onboard large commercial vessels to support the transition towards more sustainable and energy-efficient shipping.

We would like to congratulate and thank Ant. Topic s.r.l., OceanWings, Tsuneishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., the Maria Topic crew, Lloyd’s Register and all the teams involved in delivering this project.

Sea Green Engineering is proud to have contributed to this important milestone within the WHISPER energy project, supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.

As a company specializing in the integration of scientific and technical equipment, as well as the design, upgrade, and retrofit of research vessels, Sea Green Engineering values opportunities to engage directly with the European research vessel community and contribute to discussions that help shape the next generation of research platforms.

Throughout the meeting, participants exchanged knowledge on fleet operations, vessel modernization programs, technological innovation, and best practices aimed at improving the efficiency and capabilities of research vessels serving the scientific community. The event also provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships with operators, institutions, and industry partners working across the marine research sector.

The 2026 edition of ERVO was particularly significant as it was hosted in Trieste, one of Europe’s leading centres for marine science and research. Attendees also had the opportunity to visit the Italian research vessels Laura Bassi and Gaia Blu, highlighting the importance of advanced research infrastructures in supporting ocean science and environmental monitoring.

Sea Green Engineering would like to thank OGS – National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics for the excellent organization and hospitality throughout the event. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the European research vessel community and supporting the development of innovative solutions for marine research operations.

The presentation was delivered by co-founder Gianmarco Teso, who introduced the company’s vision for mobile offshore nuclear energy systems designed to support flexible and resilient power generation at sea.

The discussions throughout the event reflected a clear and growing interest in offshore energy systems. Engaging with industry professionals and researchers provided valuable feedback and fresh perspectives, which will contribute to the ongoing refinement of Sea Green Engineering’s concept.

Sea Green Engineering would like to express its sincere gratitude to MARIN for organizing the event, to ENSM (École Nationale Supérieure Maritime) in Marseille for hosting the conference, and to all speakers and participants for the high quality of discussions and contributions throughout the week.

Special thanks are also extended to Claudio Filippone (Filippone and Associates) for his support in providing valuable data supporting the integration of HOLOS reactor technology within the proposed system.

At its core, the concept remains simple: when power becomes mobile, energy access becomes universal.

Last week, Sea Green Engineering participated in a site visit and onboard survey of the ANTE TOPIC bulk carrier at Port Morski Police, Poland, as part of the ongoing activities within the EU-funded GAMMA project.

The survey and technical meetings marked a key milestone in the development of the project, which aims to retrofit a bulk vessel with a next-generation hydrogen-based fuel cell system capable of generating 1 MW of clean electric power.

The innovative system will use green ammonia and biomethanol as primary fuels. These will be converted into hydrogen through ammonia cracking and methanol reforming processes. After purification, the hydrogen will be used to power fuel cells, replacing the vessel’s conventional auxiliary diesel generators.

To further enhance the system’s environmental performance, part of the hydrogen production process will be powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, significantly reducing overall emissions.

Sea Green Engineering is proud to contribute to this ambitious project by providing specialized expertise in structural integration, vessel stability, and seakeeping analysis, supporting the safe and effective deployment of these advanced technologies on board.

We are pleased to play an active role in this important step toward decarbonising maritime transport and demonstrating the feasibility of hydrogen-based auxiliary systems for commercial shipping.
