The research project TecBIA, aims to validate the sustainable technology of fuel cells for naval applications through the construction of the prototype ship named ZEUS with hybrid propulsion, classified by RINA in October 2022

RINA confirmed that the CO2 reduction achieved by the new Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) technology for Carbon Capture (CC) in shipping, developed by Ecospray, matches expected targets announced by the company at the beginning of the project.

RINA has officially joined the International Windship Association (IWSA), in order to actively participate in the development and visualisation of the capabilities of wind, and wind-assisted propulsion.

Shipyards and classification societies are modifying the traditional exchange of design documentation and approval process, using a 3D digital platform to improve the exchange of information, and ultimately facilitate the process and reduce the approval time.

Freudenberg ePower Systems received ‘Type Approval’ by RINA, for a methanol-operated fuel cell system that makes it possible to operate ocean-going vessels in a climate-neutral way.

Aurelia Green Ship Concept Design has unveiled a new design with 100% hydrogen propulsion, which holds Certificate of Approval in Principle by RINA . The new design concept is the ACD01 1000, a RORO vessel for transporting ro-ro cargo, with electric propulsion using highly compressed H2 as fuel.

RINA announced that a new amendment for the EN-ISO-IEC 27006 was published. The standard defines the requirements for the bodies providing audits and certification of information security management systems.

RINA and lifesaving appliance manufacturer Survival Systems International (SSI) collaborate to ensure the safety of life-saving appliances.

RINA, the inspection, certification and consulting engineering multinational, and Fincantieri, a shipbuilding company based in Europe, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop synergies in the field of decarbonization, with a focus on alternative fuels, carbon capture and renewable energies in the shipping sector.

RINA has signed an agreemetn with 5M Renewables for the collaboration on the concept development for the Thessalonica HydroShip, which is a Floating Green Hydrogen Production Vessel.
