Navalprogetti is glad to announce its participation in the 21st International Conference on Ship and Maritime Research – NAV 2025, which will be held in Messina, Italy, from June 18th to 20th, 2025. This important event brings together leading experts, researchers, and industry stakeholders to discuss the latest advances in naval architecture, marine engineering, and maritime innovation.
Representing Navalprogetti at the conference will be Pierluigi Busetto (Managing Director), Irene Lavagnini (R&D Manager), and Elia Russian (PhD Candidate), who will contribute to the scientific program with insights and results from our ongoing research in hydrogen-based maritime technologies.
Scientific Contributions under the EU-Funded sHYpS Project
As part of our strong commitment to promoting sustainable and safe solutions for the maritime sector, we will be presenting the following technical papers within the framework of sHYpS, a European Union-funded project aimed at developing hydrogen-powered shipping solutions:
- Design Safety Assessment for Liquid Hydrogen Systems on Board Cruise Ships through a Risk-Based Approach
Ing. Irene Lavagnini - Towards Optimized Maritime Energy: Focus on an Energy Analysis and Management to Replace Conventional Power Systems with Hydrogen Solutions
Ing. Stefano Malabotti
These contributions highlight our latest research on the integration of liquid hydrogen as a clean energy source in ship design — with a focus on both safety assessments and energy system optimization.
Focus on Hydrogen Safety and Risk Assessment
In addition, PhD Candidate Ing. Elia Russian will present a study dedicated to the quantitative risk assessment (QRA) of hydrogen operations on passenger ships:
- Quantitative Risk Assessment: Frequency Analysis of a Liquid Hydrogen Tank Container Swap Operation on a Passenger Ship
This work underlines our commitment to supporting the industry in managing the complex challenges related to the safe use of alternative fuels in maritime environments.
Let’s Connect in Messina
Our team will be present throughout the duration of the conference and looks forward to engaging with fellow researchers, project partners, and maritime professionals.
