EU funds: 28,9 million HRK
Project goals
With the end of a fossil fuel era, comes the era of renewable energy sources
Zero emission
Zero emission passanger sail ship powered by hydro, wind & sun energy.
World's largest
The largest sail ship of its kind in the world with over 30 tons of high-capacity batteries.
Self-sustaining
Batteries are being charged by hydrokinetic force while the ship is sailing the sea.

Project members
This partnership is achieved through IRI project program which considers investment in knowledge and innovation a main driver for achieving a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Project holder
DIV Group is an affiliation of companies, with 95 years of tradition and over 3000 employees. DIV Group counts up to 55 companies and 8 main industrial programs.
PROJECT MEMBER
Brodosplit JSC is a member of the DIV Group and is at the head of group of companies with a long and bright tradition. Brodosplit is one of the most famous European shipyards. It was founded in 1922 by merging several smaller shipyards in Split, on a location near the airport, as well as cargo and passenger international port and the historic city center.

PROJECT MEMBER
The Faculty is the regional leader in the field of electrical engineering, computer science, information and communications technologies, and is strategically aimed at advancing its visibility and competitiveness in science and research, professional projects, students’ education, close cooperation with the economy and local community.
PROJECT MEMBER
The Faculty is a home to a number of reputable experts in both areas, teaching and academic research and each year FESB attracts a growing number of students. A number of FESB researchers are well-known for their work, both in Croatia and abroad, currently participating in over 50 research projects.
FERIT's part of the project
With the end of a fossil fuel era, comes the era of renewable energy sources
Energy system
30 tons of battery system will be instaled on the ship allowing it to operate without wind. Batteries will be charged by renewable hydro,wind and sun energy.
Veryfing results
Every result needs to be verified. Many simulations will be made. For this case, FERIT has built it's own hydro-wind-propulsion simulator.
Data visualisation and analysis
Ship's data such as energy flow, wind speed etc. needs to be monitored so systems could react.
