SYAT - Ship & Yacht Advanced Technology event is a showcase of innovative maritime technologies for passenger mobility with applications for leisure, cruise, ferry and ports and infrastructure development (commercial ports and marinas). The event was in its third year.

Generally, the regions dependent on mobility along coastlines and between islands are looking for zero carbon solutions to make their enterprises climate friendly in the face of global warming and the present emergency situation.

SYAT - Il 3 e 4 ottobre 2019 torna a Grado (Gorizia) SYAT, Ship&Yacht Advanced Technology, il salone per le tecnologie marittime innovative per la mobilità dei passeggeri, alla sua terza edizione.

SYAT è organizzato da Aries, società in-house della Camera di Commercio Venezia Giulia, e dal Maritime Technology Custer FVG, punto di riferimento per il settore delle tecnologie marittime nel Friuli Venezia Giulia.

L’evento è un’opportunità per le PMI e i gruppi di ricerca del settore per presentare prodotti o prototipi innovativi a key player di rilievo internazionale, che potranno trovare, nelle soluzioni esposte, delle risposte alle loro esigenze.

Modalità di partecipazione

La Call per presentare i propri risultati di innovazione è aperta: fino al 30 agosto 2019 le PMI e i gruppi di ricerca hanno, infatti, la possibilità di candidare prodotti, processi o servizi innovativi già disponibili per il mercato, oppure prototipi, processi o servizi innovativi che devono ancora essere industrializzati. Ciascun proponente potrà candidare un massimo di tre soluzioni innovative.

WHY DID WE PARTICIPATE?

SYAT aims at fostering the growth of the maritime technologies sector by offering to innovative SMEs and research groups visibility and matching opportunities with international counterparts and key players such as ports, shipyards, marinas and design studios, that could find in the showcased innovative solutions, valuable answers to their needs.

SYAT was structured as a series of pitch presentations, topic discussion workshops, an exhibition area and a brokerage event, organized by Enterprise Europe Network with one-to-one meetings, in order to offer visibility and networking opportunities for innovation-related SMEs, start ups and research groups.

EXPERT PANELS - Several discussions on various related topics wer hosted at this event, with the audience able to participate and pose questions to the panelists. From left to right: Carlo Pestelli, Calogero Burgio, Francesca Filippelli, Tomislav Uroda, Vincenzo Galati and Paola Gualeni. Unfortunately, this workshop was in Italian (of course for Italy) and our representative does not yet speak the language, hence, though a lively debate, most of the discourse passed him by.

SPEAKERS - The event was well represented by port and harbour authorities & sustainability experts. Pictured here is Guido Piccoli (CEO of ALOT Srl - Innovation and Sustainability) Paolo Marchese (ARIES chamber of commerce of Venezia Giulia) and Aleksandra Bozanic. Aleksandra gave a comprehensive presentation in English as to the state of play and improvement to harbours and marinas currently in progress, or planned - by way of expansion. The talk was comprehensive leaving us with a clear impression that a circular economy was the eventual objective. In terms of blue growth and sustainability for coastal tourism, such additional capacity would need to be catered for by near zero carbon boats, if the IMO's targets are to be met. Clearly, this was a consideration in making local harbours more efficient.

E-MOBILITY PITCH - A great idea for small boat water transport in Venice and other cities and towns serviced by motor boats was presented by Valentina Bortuzzo, with Alessandro Pasquin attending as well as two others from the four strong project team. The group recently graduated from the Universita Trieste, Ingegneria Navale. The E-Mobility project proposes replacing petrol and diesel engines in the likes of Riva boats (as one example) with electric motors and battery cartridges, such as the BMW i3 30kW pack shown in the presentation slide above. The range would be reasonable with a fixed pack, but if the battery packs were quickly replaceable, this would enable water taxis to operate more or less continuously, provided that shore based recharging was catered for by way of supporting infrastructure.

This has been suggested for cars as long ago as a patent in 1991, where an EV could load and unload its own cartridge in around 80 seconds, later improved to 30 seconds, the problem being that each motor manufacturer would need to agree a standard, rather than introduce dozens of different battery cartridge formats, where progression of such a system to a service station would demand standardization to provide a workable infrastructure. With boats, this might not be so much of a problem, meaning that this team may be onto a winner. We have our fingers crossed for them.

MARITIME DAY JUNE 2018 - Agnieszka Dabrowska and Clio Kraskovic at the European Maritime Day in Burgas, Bulgaria. Clio was a speaker on that occasion. At SYAT, she gave splendid conference (IT) support to many of the speakers above who used Word and PowerPoint presentations to illustrate their subjects.

TOP 5 OBJECTIVES TO MAKE THE EVENT A SUCCESS:

- Meet Partners and Customers
- Discover New Products & Services
- Prepare Purchases or Projects
- Meet New Suppliers
- Get Information about latest trends

ADRIATIC - Almost everyone in Grado enjoys some kind of seagoing activity. There are boat mooring posts all around the natural lagoon, with a variety of sporting and more leisurely paced boats.

SOLAR & WIND POWER - Green yachting is something to consider for the future of planet earth, as global warming threatens the seas with acid oceans and melting ice caps, you can help lead a change from diesel power or bunker fuels (heavy oil) to clean electric propulsion. Meet Nelson Kay, at this event a volunteer for the Cleaner Ocean Foundation. He will be sharing our information and looking for development partners for the ferries and cruise ships of the future. Below is a design for an advanced trimaran that can cruise continuously at speeds of up to 10 knots with a top speed of up to 20 knots for faster island hopping.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM - Economies that depend on coastal cruises and ferry operators to transport passengers to exotic locations, may be thinking of their future as zero carbon shipping becomes a requirement as part of a general transition to a circular economy. Our representative was at SYAT looking to build a consortium for collaborative research under one of the H2020 initiatives, aimed at using solar and wind power, to minimize infrastructure disruption during the transitional phases to clean ocean transport.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM - As MARPOL and IMO targets bite, it will become increasingly difficult for some tourist destinations to maintain visitor numbers where climate warming becomes more of a subject for responsible sightseers worried about their carbon footprints. The problem might be solved and even used as a selling feature, where zero carbon vessels are used to transport passengers and provide coastal cruises at similar speeds to conventional fossil fueled boats - especially where the Italian, French, Croatian, Slovenian and Greek coasts are so attractive to visitors, who typically want to come back again and again.

OUTBOARDS - Most of these pleasure craft carried petrol outboard engines. These could be replaced by batteries and electric engines to clean up the town's act, except that they are privately owned. See the idea presented by Valentina Bortuzzo in a pitch session above.

MARITIME TECHNOLOGY CLUSTER FVG s.c.a.r.l.

The ability to pool expertise and experience from different areas and gain competitive advantage from this is the challenge a territory must know how to seize in order to secure future well-being, prosperity and development. “Networking” – the grouping of institutions, industry, business and science – is thus an essential factor for growth. Dedicated resources, both public and private, able to ensure continuity and sustainability, the basis for its development; a mapping of needs and shared strategies, are the cornerstones of action to be taken.

In this context, the District has undertaken a series of activities aimed at promoting the creation of thematic clusters around the business of the sea in general and shipbuilding in particular, at the same time earning the allocation of operational roles in the existing clusters.

At the national level, on April 10th, 2014 mareTC FVG signed the articles of incorporation of “Cluster Trasporti Italia 2020” (“Cluster Transport Italy 2020″), made possible by the support given by the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia to the establishment of the National Technological Clusters promoted by the Ministry of Education.

Having supported the participation of enterprises and regional universities in the National Technological Cluster for Transportation, the Region is now supporting the proposal made by mareTC FVG with the CNR (National Research Council) to establish a Shipbuilding and Boatbuilding Technology Platform for the Adriatic-Ionian macro-region, in an initiative that can strengthen the geopolitical potential and the ambition of Friuli Venezia Giulia at the service of the country and its industrial system.

In line with the region’s indications, mareTC FVG has initiated a process of cooperation with the Croatian “Cluster of Competitiveness of Maritime Industry” in the research and development sectors, through the establishment of a supranational working group.

PARTNERS - The Members of the Cluster are:

- BUSINESSES: Fincantieri S.p.A., Monte Carlo Yachts S.p.A., RINA Sp.A., CETENA S.p.A., Sultan Srl, Nanto Protective Coatings S.r.l., Consortium of PMI - IM.PRO.NA2 - operating in the sector of ship and boatbuilding;

- PUBLIC OR PRIVATE RESEARCH CENTRES, UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCH BODIES: University of Trieste, University of Udine, SISSA (International School for Advanced Studies), Area Science Park, OGS (National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics).

- MANAGEMENT BODIES OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGY PARKS: Friuli Innovazione

- EDUCATION AND TRAINING BODIES: Conform FVG (Consortium of regional traning centers)

- OTHER PRIVATE/PUBLIC BODIES: Monfalcone Port; BIC Incubatori FVG

CLUSTER TRANSPORTI ITALIA 2020

The “Cluster Trasporti Italia 2020” (“Transport Italy Cluster 2020″) association was incorporated on April 10th, 2014 in Rome, at the headquarters of ANFIA, with a mission to promote the recovery of the competitiveness of Italian manufacturing in the areas of mobility by road, rail, water and “intelligent transport”.

The members, representing all the major Italian industrial and scientific players, including, among others, Fiat, Ansaldo Breda and Ansaldo STS, the Italian Railway Network (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana), Fincantieri, National Research Council (CNR), the Universities of Milan and Turin, were approximately sixty at the time of the constitution with the possibility of further accessions for all national stakeholders active in the research and development sector.

On top of Fincantieri, Friuli Venezia Giulia was initially represented in the Cluster by four other major institutions: the University of Trieste, Area Science Park, Conform and mareTC FVG, and University of Udine joined at a subsequent date.

With the “Tender for national technology clusters”, the Ministry of Education, University and Research aimed, for the first time on a national scale and in strategic areas for the country, to support the creation and development of public-private clusters “identified as drivers of sustainable economic growth for regions and the entire national economy”, with particular reference to development triggered by research and innovation activities.

The synergies between industry, research institutions and the public administration, as also the transfer of best practices and technologies, and specialised training in all fields, are the cornerstones on which the newly created association will build to achieve higher levels of competitiveness in a sector that is so strategic to the country as is transport.

Within the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy with regard to climate change and energy, Cluster Trasporti Italy 2020 was founded in the name of sustainability to be achieved simultaneously in three areas: environmental, economic and social. With this in mind, it implements a series of priority issues within its innovation goals that will have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the country. These issues include decarbonisation, the use of new materials, connectivity aimed at improving safety, the development of intermodality, the intelligent management of the life cycle of products through intelligent and advanced maintenance strategies for the reduction of the “life cycle cost” of public transport systems.

Croatian Maritime Industry Competitiveness Cluster - MarC

The Croatian Maritime Industry Competitiveness Cluster is a non-profit public-private organization operating in a strategic sector of the national economy. MarC was founded under the auspice of the Croatian Government in 2013 with the mission of develop a long-term sustainable model for strengthening the competitiveness of the maritime industry.

The cooperation between mareTC FVG and MarC mainly includes the following contents:

the joint development of methodologies to increase mutual knowledge;

the establishment of joint projects between actors from the two countries that are focused on research and innovation or characterized by broad objectives of transnational cooperation;

the creation of training and internationalization initiatives;

INNOVATION CHALLENGE ITALY-CROATIA

The innovation challenge is the first initiative arising from the collaboration between the Maritime Technology Cluster of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Croatian Maritime Competitiveness Cluster.

Herewith you can find a document including details about the initiative and the challenges expressed by the big companies involved. The latter will be the ground for submitting innovation solutions by SMEs and researchers, which could have a further joint development in the future.

Please note that the deadline for the submission of the innovation solutions is the 31st May 2016.

CATAS is the Italian institute for certification, research and testing in the field of wooden furniture, excellence pole for the research and the analysis in the agri-food, industrial and environmental sector. The institute was established in 1969 by the Chamber of Commerce of Udine to support local companies to grow on new foreign markets, conform on foreign regulations and permit them to get all the information related to the utilization of new materials.

In April 2016, mareTC FVG and CATAS, has signed a collaboration agreement, finalized to develop research activities, experimentation, certification and formation for maritime technology cluster associates.
