TEAM

The FAST project, led by students at FEUP, combines our passion for Naval Engineering with a commitment to sustainability. Our goal is to develop and build a vessel powered entirely by solar energy, demonstrating that the naval industry can embrace greener practices. Our motto, ‘Towards a greener blue’, reflects our vision of a more sustainable maritime future.

Project

Atlântico is the team’s first prototype, and it’s a groundbreaking vessel. As the first of its class to have a hull entirely made from flax fibre, it reflects our commitment to sustainable materials. The prototype incorporates a T-shaped hydrofoil system, enhancing both speed and autonomy. Designed with one clear goal: to prove that sustainability and competitiveness can go hand in hand!
