Gulf Of Naples Sets New Standards in Emission Reduction
Meet the Gulf of Naples — a single-hull HSC (Hybrid High-Speed Craft). This cutting-edge passenger ferry, one of the remarkable Hybrid Passenger Ferries, was designed and constructed by the Intermarine Research Centre for Marinvest and SNAV.. Both companies are part of the MSC Group. Scheduled to commence operations in 2024, the state-of-the-art vessel will establish new benchmarks for eco-friendly short-haul sea crossings in the Gulf of Naples.
Micro System Technology, a partner of Zenitel in Italy, based in Messina, equipped Gulf of Naples with a full internal communication package.
A Leap Toward a Zero-Emission Future
Designed with the environment in mind, Gulf of Naples will be the first ferry capable of providing zero-emission maneuvers when entering and departing ports, setting a new standard for Hybrid Passenger Ferries.. The craft is equipped with environmentally conscious technologies and boasts a latest-generation hybrid propulsion system. This system comprises modern engines designed to minimize atmospheric emissions and an electric motor to provide eco-friendly maneuvering.
Cutting-Edge Technologies for Hybrid Passenger Ferries
The newbuild vessel was crafted using advanced industrial design technologies. Its hull is made from aluminium alloy that was electro-welded utilizing the Metal-arc Inert Gas (MIG) procedure. Gulf of Naples will take onboard 738 passengers and 12 crew members, and it is expected to reach a top speed of 34 knots.
