Vera Navis is proud to be collaborating with CNOI on the construction of a remarkable new concept for SELAR Expeditions – an exclusive expedition vessel, designed by Ship-ST, to offer immersive and luxurious experiences in remote and ecologically sensitive regions of the world, as well as support on scientific missions and environmental monitoring.

This innovative 70m concept for 36 passengers and a crew of 24 stands out as the world’s first sail-assisted expedition vessel suitable for arctic environment, embodying technological innovation, respect for nature, and a passion for exploration.

Our team at Vera Navis has been entrusted with the coordination of all mechanical systems and the development of comprehensive production information for the entire vessel.

We are honored to be part of this pioneering effort alongside SHIP-ST, CNOI and SELAR Expeditions.

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.
