Full Electric Ferry Delivered to SNAM in La Spezia

, ,

SNAM, Italy’s leading gas utility company and manager of the Panigaglia regasification plant, received a newly built, fully electric RoRo ferry designed for operations in the Gulf of La Spezia.

Constructed by Holland Shipyards in the Netherlands, the vessel was transported from Rotterdam to Italy aboard a general cargo ship.

Built to RINA Class standards for coastal areas, the ferry is optimized for operation in the protected waters of La Spezia.

The double-ended ferry is designed as a modern battery-powered shuttle ferry, featuring dual-fuel diesel auxiliary propulsion. It is designed to transport up to four LNG tank trucks per trip, directly connecting to the national road network, thereby reducing traffic on local urban roads near the Panigaglia LNG terminal.

Key specifications include an overall length of 50.2 meters, a beam of 13.89 meters, and propulsion provided by two 300 kW L-drive thrusters powered by a battery pack exceeding 1 MWh capacity.

Vera Navis is proud to be a trusted supplier of engineering services to Holland Shipyards Group and contributed to this project by providing a complete engineering package. This project ranges concept design, basic design, structures and systems detail design.

The Tara Polar Station Project

,

Vera Navis Ship Design is proud to have contributed to the groundbreaking Tara Polar Station project, recently floated at CMN (Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie) shipyard in Cherbourg, France.

Commissioned by the Tara Ocean Foundation and designed by MAURIC, this innovative design will play a crucial role in advancing polar research.

Our involvement in this ambitious project included providing structural detail design for the Geode, a key component of the vessel’s unique architecture, and the coordination of all systems and equipment outfitting, plus its corresponding production information.

Designed to drift with the ice pack, the Tara Polar Station exemplifies the state-of-the-art in polar research stations, and Vera Navis is honored to be part of this endeavor.
