NEREIDES – UTT MARINE

Ensta Paris

1 participation

Team

Our 9-student team is split into four sub-teams: energy (Materials Science), cockpit & motors (Mechanical Engineering), security & electronics (Networks & Mechanical Engineering), and partnerships. We’re supported by 3 faculty members, including a student projects manager and two interdisciplinary researchers.

project

Our goals include enhancing teamwork, advancing in energy studies & engineering design, and competing against top university/professional teams. We aim to champion energy transition globally and within our school, and to foster an evolving project, engaging fresh student talent each year.

CAÏMAN ENSTA

Université de Technologie de Troyes

2 participations

Team

We are a team of 10 students from ENSTA Paris and 2 teachers. We are concerned about societal issues and are motivated to take part in the Energy Boat Challenge again to share our innovations with teams from all over the world. Last year, we succeed to pass tests and technical inspection in Monaco but a broken actuator prevented us from participating in the races. This year, we will be more ready and more experienced.

project

The principal objective of the team is to demonstrate that it is possible to build a competitive boat with a low budget and respect the environment at the same time.

HYDROVINCI

Ecole Supérieur d’Ingénieur Léonard de Vinci (ESILV)

4 participations

Team

The team consists of 12 members including 2 project managers, one bringing his technical expertise and the other ensuring the tasks’ definition and follow-up. There are 5 sub-teams, each focusing on a specific area. We work in collective intelligence: every work is submitted to the criticism of everyone, and major decisions are taken by majority.

project

Our objective is to show which devices allow us to navigate while being energy efficient. We also want to highlight French innovations at the event (our battery is french, so are our solar pannels). Our personal goals are focused on achieving better rankings than last year.

uniboat

Università fi Bologna

2 participations

Team

Our team is composed of students of the University of Bologna.
Many student have left the team and several others have joined it, so the total number is not changed much. The students come from various branches of Engineering and Economics.

project

The aim of our project is providing students and researchers with the possibility to apply their knowledge in the development of sustainable mobility solutions. From our design we want to obtain the highest performance and reliability possible, in such a way to demonstrate the competitivity and convenience which sustainable solutions can offer.

Universit of Rijeka

1 participation

Team

We are a group of enthusiasts and lovers of boats, composite materials and sailing. We are engaged in the design and construction of vessels, education and networking. This is our third participation in MEBC. Our team previously competed in the HYDROCONTEST competition

project

The Via Kornel team was involved in the development and detailed 3D modeling of the boat’s hull, as well as optimizing the 3D model for manufacturing using CNC milling technology.

e-racing team

SBM Offshore (Organization)

1 participation

Team

Our E-Racing Team is composed of young and senior engineers (about 10), of different specialties and from different locations worldwide, working all together to promote offshore new technologies and the use of renewable energies.

project

After winning Innovation [x2] and eco-conception prices, we aim to win the races and finish at the 1st place of the championship. Last year (2021) we ended at the second place. We will focus our development to reach higher speed and more reliability.

physis peb

Politecnicodi Milano

2 participations

Team

Physis_PEB is a team of 90 students. Our members come from different faculties of the polytechnic of Milan, for example: mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, management engineering and many more… We are divided into several departments, each of which has its own area of ​​influence. The administrative part is managed by a team leader, a technical director and an executive director and our pilot is a professional driver who won the GT30 2022 Italian Championship.

project

This year we want to be the absolute protagonists in innovation in the nautical sector. As a team of the Politecnico di Milano we have an obligation to best represent our reputation in the field of research and innovation at a national level. For this reason, we are carrying out a real revolution in the field of hydrogen propulsion as well as in the marine sector we must also thanks our partners.

oceanos ntua

National Technical University of Athens 

3 participations

Team

Our team is divided in 6 sub teams, working seperately on different aspects of the boat, or in general the project. Teams Design, Electronics, Propulsion and Structural are the technical teams, focusing on conception, electrical and electronic systems, hydrodynamics and assessment of propulsive demands, and finally construction of our cockpit respectively.
 

project

Our goals for this year are to surpass last year’s performance, both in technical terms, but also within our team. We are focusing on gaining and applying knowledge in CAE programs to simulate results, but also passing this knowledge on to newer members, and in general strengthening the team’s social aspect.

messina energy boat

Università degli Studi di Messina (UNIME)

1 participation

Team

MEB team includes 38 students and 8 professors and researchers of UNIME. The team has 5 divisions, each led by a manager to coordinate and promote activities. All group manager report to the team leader. External consultant and companies are also involved in the project to support the team.

project

Our goal is to become driver of innovation, rising the flag of sustainability and promoting the passion and respect for the sea, starting from Messina. The participation to MEBC is also aimed at giving each member the opportunity to follow a growth path towards future challenges and evolve multidisciplinary skills.
