The project entitled “Development of a zero-emission passenger sailing ship” is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund. The project was submitted to the Call for Proposals for Increasing the Development of New Products and Services Arising from Research and Development Activities – Phase II (KK.01.2.1.02).
The aim of the project is to research, develop and build an eco-innovation in the form of a passenger cruise ship for a minimum of 36 passengers for which alternative propulsion technologies and energy sources will be explored and developed based on environmentally friendly design aimed at sustainable zero-emission mobility, environmental sustainability and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, air and noise pollution. The expected result of the research is the application of new knowledge and skills that will be confirmed through the realization of a competitive product, which is new for the entrepreneur and his partners, new for the national market, new for the macro-region and new for the global market.
The project “Development of a zero-emission passenger sailing ship” directly contributes to addressing EU priorities and is in line with several EU Common Policies. This project directly contributes to increasing investment in research and development within the S3 Smart Specialization Strategy, the thematic area “Transport and Mobility”, the sub-thematic areas “Environmentally friendly transport solutions” and “Intelligent transport systems and logistics”, and the thematic area “Energy and sustainable environment ”, sub-thematic areas “Energy technologies, systems and equipment” and “Environmentally friendly technologies, equipment and advanced materials ”.

The project entitled “Development of a multipurpose luxury tourist and research submarine” is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund. The project was submitted to the Call for Proposals for Increasing the Development of New Products and Services Arising from Research and Development Activities – Phase II (KK.01.2.1.02).
The project of electrically powered multipurpose tourist and research submarine for up to 50 passengers and operational diving depths of up to 50 meters is to accommodate for research activities and development of a recognizable and innovative high-tech product that will include the functions of sightseeing of the seabed for tourist purposes, providing opportunities for underwater research and providing opportunities to expand the tourist offer with a unique multifunctional vessel. This project responds to the need of the world market for multipurpose submarines, which at the same time can serve tourists and researchers relaying on electric propulsion, primarily for environmental protection and sustainable development.
Due to the commitments made by Croatia and other EU members to the Habitats and Species Directives, and the establishment of the largest network for nature protection and conservation in the world – the Natura 2000 sites, the increased demand for products that will facilitate research and monitoring of protected areas and species is expected. The multipurpose submarine unites the economic tourist activity and at the same time conducts regular monitoring with the help of built-in sensors. Such a tourist offer will greatly contribute to the goals of the global Biodiversity Strategy, the so-called Aichi Biodiversity Targets, especially Strategic Goal 1, aiming at the raise of public awareness of the need for nature protection.
The project applicant is Shipyard of Special Facilities Ltd., and the project partners are: Marine and Energy Solutions DIV Ltd.; Shipbuilding Industry Split JSC; DIV Group Ltd. and University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture.

The project entitled “Development of an autonomous unmanned multipurpose ship” is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund. The project was submitted to the Call for Proposals for Increasing the Development of New Products and Services Arising from Research and Development Activities – Phase II (KK.01.2.1.02).
The aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate a fully autonomous unmanned multipurpose ship that will be capable of autonomous navigation in real operating conditions and fully protected from cyber disruptions. By autonomous is meant the level of autonomy of AL5 according to Lloyd’s register, where completely autonomous means rarely supervised operations in which the system entirely independently makes and executes decisions. The ship can also be remotely operated from the command centre on land.
The multipurpose ship is primarily planned to be used to mitigate the consequences of potential environmental disasters caused by oil spills and solid sea surface waste, as a firefighting vessel in maritime accidents and fires in the coastal area, and for the safety of offshore oil and gas platforms with the quick response capability. This research and development program aims to enable the development of a functional innovative product and, consequently, its placement and commercialization on the world market.
The project applicant is Shipbuilding Industry Split JSC, and the project partners are: Marine and Energy Solutions DIV Ltd; DIV Group Ltd; University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Shipyard of Special Facilities Ltd.
