INNOVATION AND RESILIENCE

INNOVATION AND RESILIENCE

IMPACTFUL MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH

Istituire una struttura che possa rivoluzionare interi ambiti di ricerca, grazie alla sua altissima predisposizione alla pluridisciplinarità, al suo corpo di ricerca internazionale ed al suo focus d’azione su temi d’impatto globale.

  • Combining scientific equipment and professional expertise in a single place with the aim of experimenting and investigating still unexplore fields.

AN INNOVATIVE AND MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

Designing with an innovative concept of spaces to create a highly multifunctional, adjustable structure. The unique modularity of the vessel’s internal structure will ensure smooth implementation of future technologies and instrumentation.

  • According to the classification by the FOFC (Federal Oceanographic Fleet Coordination) this vessel would be identifiable as a union of two categories: MPR (Multipurpose Research Vessel) and MPS (Multipurpose Survey Vessel).

  • Its main research focuses will be: climate change studies, marine ecosystems monitoring, geological mapping of the seabed, and underwater archaeological research. 

AUTOMATED MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

Automatizzare gran parte dei processi di manovra e navigazione per creare una ambiente di lavoro più sicuro ed economico tramite la possibilità di riduzione del personale non scientifico.

Secondo quanto stabilito dall’IMO (International Maritime Organization) questa nave rientrerà nella categoria MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship) soddisfacendo i requisiti di grado 1 o – se possibile – di grado 2.

  • Grade 1: The vessel is managed by the crew but some operations are fully automated and unsupervised.
  • Grade 2: The ship is remotely controlled and operated, the crew is available to take control in case of necessity.

TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY

TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABILITY

AN HYBRID HEART

Using alternative propellants and energetic storage systems (Gas and/or Hydrogen and batteries) and very efficient motors to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2.

  • The main fuel will be LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). The use of LNG in a high-efficiency engine, compared to a two-stroke engine using MDO (Marine Diesel Oil) can reduce by 20% of CO2 emissions.
  • The secondary fuel will be H2 . Further in development, H2 will also be a main source fuel together with LNG. The future possibility of use only Fuel cells, it could come to cut CO2 emissions by 95%.
  • A third energy source will be provided by Li-Ion batteries. The presence of batteries will be necessary to the operation of highly- ensitive sonic instruments, as they allow “silent navigation”.

“STRUCTURAL” SUSTAINABILITY

The vessel will have as a top priority not only the use of highly innovative and eco-sustainable materials, but also the goal to create an nnovative “nautical navigation system” as a hole.

  • Optimization of the design process, the supply chain and used materials in relation to the rinciples of environmental and economic ustainability.
  • Optimization of usability and accessibility of spaces, services and systems, to obtain an rganic environment aimed at efficiency.

DRONES AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

ln addition, the research vessel will be designed to use a large number of drones and utonomous vehicles, which will both operate elow, on and above the surface.

  • For example, radio-guided drones, operating above the surface, will allow the sight of marine mammals, as well as to collect physico-chemical data in coastal and/or lagoon shallow water areas and to operate meteorological readings at high altitude.
  • Finally, the use of wire driven ROVs Remotely Operated Vehicles) or completely utonomous vehicles like AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles), which, thanks on their large size have the possibility to operate at great depths, oosting the potential of underwater nvestigations, surpassing what has been considered possible so far.

TEACHING AND OUTREACHING

TEACHING AND OUTREACHING

HIGH PROFILE TEACHING

Shaping a new way of teaching, encouraging participation, inclusive and stimulating, aximizing training effectiveness through the establishment of a feedback cycle between esearchers and students.

  • The active participation of students in teaching s important to create a dynamic environment here students, instead of learning passively, challenge themselves. To achieve this, we choose to adopt non-traditional teaching methods calibrated on the basis of specific target of students.
  • Collecting feedback is important in the learning process as it implies a continuous exchange between teacher and student, generating an dded value for both.

EXHIBITION SPACE AND EVENTS

Granting and promoting the use of spaces for he establishment of temporary cultural expositions, as well as for the organization of major institutional, scientific and cultural events.

  • During the periods when the vessel will be docked, some of its spaces can be used for temporary exhibition focused on the protection of marine biodiversity, of natural resources and submerged cultural heritage. In addition, scientific, cultural and institutional events can be hosted thanks to the presence of an auditorium.

OUTREACHING

Realizzare in maniera sistematica prodotti audio-visivi, fisici e testuali per condividere con il pubblico esterno le sfide affrontate ed i risultati ottenuti, promuovendo un’informazione sicura su scienza e cultura.

  • La realizzazione di prodotti audio-visivi, oltre che fisici e testuali di divulgazione, avrà lo scopo di rendere accessibili le informazioni, oltre che certificare l’affidabilità delle fonti per assicurare un’accurata trasmissione del sapere.

     

  • A systematic nature of the outreaching is necessary to increase audience engagement and to create a narrative, which is in turn functional to provide a broad and comprehensive view of current and future challenges.

Stato di avanzamento

L’obiettivo della collaborazione ha visto la stesura di alcuni elaborati progettuali, sottoforma di tesi di laurea magistrale. Così da poter strutturare i principali aspetti ingegneristici della nave:

APPLICAZIONI DI PROTOTIPI VIRTUALI NELLO STUDIO DI FATTIBILITÀ DI UNA NAVE DA RICERCA MULTIRUOLO PER IL MAR MEDITERRANEO:

  • Procedura per il dimensionamento strutturale e la  sistemazione degli impianti principali.

Collaborazione in definizione
(periodo di svolgimento ipetico 2022-2023)

Stato di avanzamento:

Collaboration is pending (period of evelopment: 2022). The goal of the collaboration will be the harmonization of the different documents in a more uniform project (in the form of a Thesis or practice exercise). This operation will include additional analyses on the sustainability and the overall design of the vessel to make sure that it embodies the values of the MRUV project.
