The competition takes place from July 8 to 11 in Monaco, bringing together university teams from various countries to promote technological solutions for the future of maritime mobility.
The project features an electric catamaran measuring 5 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width, with a power output of 6 kW. Compared to the previous edition, the vessel includes technical improvements such as hull structural optimization and increased battery performance.
A key advancement is the bio-inspired structure, based on the reticular system of dragonfly wings, which reduces weight while enhancing robustness. Additionally, the students have manufactured a 9.5 kWh lithium-ion battery.
The vessel also integrates an intelligent navigation system that calculates optimal routes in real-time using marine service data, providing voice guidance to assist the pilot during the journey.
