The Messina Energy Boat (MEB) is a multidisciplinary team that designs and develops high-performance electric boats, promoting innovation, sustainability, and hands-on skills. It brings together students, PhD candidates, and faculty from the Department of Engineering in a continuous cycle of research, design, prototyping, and testing in the Strait of Messina. The organisation is structured into four units: design and propulsion; logistics and operations; data analysis and electronics; communication and marketing. MEB values teamwork and industry partnerships, integrates advanced materials and technologies, and focuses on experimental validation of solutions with a goal to turn ideas into efficient, reliable, and competitive boats.
