RINA has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) to ST Engineering Marine for a pioneering retrofit project on the Asean Raider I ferry. This initiative replaces a diesel generator with a hydrogen fuel cell, aiming to reduce carbon emissions while ensuring safety and compliance with maritime regulations. The project highlights innovative hydrogen technology integration.
RINA has signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Hanwha Group to enhance battery-hybrid propulsion systems in the maritime sector. This collaboration, involving Hanwha affiliates, aims to develop hybrid solutions for new vessels and retrofits, particularly in the roll-on/roll-off ferry segment, promoting lower-emission vessels.
RINA reported impressive financial results for 2024, achieving €915 million in revenues and €138 million in EBITDA, reflecting significant growth. The company’s net profit more than doubled to €30.4 million. Looking ahead, RINA is advancing its 2030 strategic plan, emphasizing innovation through initiatives like Open Innovation Hubs and the AI Factory.
Eni, Fincantieri, and RINA have joined forces to release a groundbreaking report on sustainable maritime transport. The collaboration, with the support of Bain & Company Italy, aims to drive decarbonization in the sector towards a Net Zero target by 2050. The study explores various decarbonization options and future scenarios.
A European consortium of eleven partners has launched the MARPOWER project to decarbonize maritime transport by replacing fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives like green methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia. With nearly €8 million in funding from the EU, the project aims to develop an efficient zero-emissions gas turbine power system for ships.
