        Come progettavano i velieri 30m
        Presentazione libro in apertura Convegno ATENA 2019 Titolo : Come progettavano i velieri – Alle origini dell’Architettura moderna di navi e yacht Presentazione : Cristiano Bettini Short Abstract Il XVIII secolo registra, dopo duemila anni dalla scoperta della legge idrostatica di Archimede, un cambio di passo radicale per l’Architettura navale, che avviene in epoca velica e si concentra scientificamente nei primi decenni del secolo, sebbene la segretezza imposta ad architetti e costruttori abbia ritardato di diversi decenni la divulgazione dei nuovi metodi di progetto e calcolo. Tale svolta si rese possibile grazie agli sviluppi dell’analisi matematica e della meccanica razionale in epoca di rivoluzione scientifica ed illuminista, dove la scoperta dell’equilibrio degli scafi basato sul metacentro, avvenuta verso la metà del secolo stesso ad opera del matematico Eulero e del fisico Bouguer, rappresenta il passo più emblematico di questa svolta epocale, ancora alla base dell’Architettura navale contemporanea. Negli stessi anni, gli studi sulla dinamica dei fluidi e sulla resistenza al moto in essi dei corpi solidi, portati avanti da Stevin, Newton, J. Bernoulli, Leibniz e più tardi da Froude, venivano sviluppati proprio in campo navale. I testi antichi esaminati dall’Autore provengono da Francia, Gran Bretagna, Olanda, Svezia, Spagna, Danimarca, Portogallo, Stati Uniti d’America, dagli Stati italiani pre-unitari e, per via indiretta, dalla Russia. Una singolarità rilevabile ancor oggi è la scarsissima permeabilità tra studi delle varie nazioni, fatta eccezione per le principali competitrici dell’epoca, Gran Bretagna e Francia. L’Autore sviluppa il tema storico e progettuale in modo inedito, integrandolo con la propria esperienza di governo in mare sia dei grandi velieri che degli yacht, cercando di renderlo accessibile a un’ampia platea di lettori ed illustrandolo con circa 1000 immagini e disegni. Capitoli a parte sono dedicati allo Yachting, che pur nascendo da basi comuni con l’Architettura navale, se ne distaccò progressivamente assumendo una forte autonomia progettuale dai primi decenni dell’800.

        The Genoese ships in the 12th and 13th centuries 20m
        The history of the great Genoese power has generally well known historical reputation, which continues over the decades, with its roots sunk in the Middle Ages and lasting until the Renaissance, period of greater magnificence, in which it was known as the Superba. From a historical point of view related to shipbuilding, it is therefore interesting to find out which boats had to compose and thus give life to this great traffic network, above all commercial and diplomatic, which made Genoa great; in particular we will concentrate in the 12th and 13th centuries, when the control of the city came to include the coasts from Ventimiglia to Portovenere and it was in the full development and economic expansion of this enormous maritime power. Entering between different issues such as the analysis of the most used boats, which were in particular the navis, the commercial boat for excellence, the galley, with the thinnest and fastest shape compared to the previous one and the bucius, a type similar to the navis for the shape of hull even if of reduced dimensions, we want to expose, albeit in an area limited to an academic article, the development in these centuries of these boats. We also want to take into consideration the economic value that these boats had been taking into account different factors that affected it, such as the age of the ship and its state of preservation; we will also give a look to the men who were part of this fermented world, as could be the shipwright during the construction, the owner or co-owners of the ships, and also the crewmen who made the boat alive each with different tasks, how could they be rowers, armed sailors and officers, guiding her along the different routes, during the trips across the Mediterranean. All this without neglecting some aspects of life that were part of the activities carried out all around the boats, dwelling for example on the relations between the shipyard and the client, or the loca, an investment vehicle widely used by the traders of the time. It will also be shown how the trade routes were modified, noting an expansion of the range of action in conjunction with the passage of time, an effect explained by the probable increase in length and size that the boats themselves underwent changing over decades. This operation is possible thanks to the analysis of the notary documents preserved in the State Archives of Genoa and of the contemporary genre literature such as the Annals of Caffaro di Rustico Da Caschifellone (1080 or 1081 - circa 1164), crusader as well as analyst and diplomat who gave us a vast compendium of information recording the chronicles of the city of Genoa relating to the Middle Ages.

        Boats propelled by paddle wheels and animal propulsion: a curious history 20m
        In the eighteenth century, there were three major innovations that produced significant changes to shipbuilding and the ship. This is the advent of iron construction, the use of the alternative steam machine and the invention of propeller propulsion. The incipit of the development of steam propulsion originates in the mechanical transmission of boats with paddle wheels. Already in the Renaissance scholars and inventors of the most diverse fields of knowledge had imagined being able to apply the paddle transmission to the motion of a boat. We find examples of this in manuscript and printed treatises on the most ingenious inventions and projects of the time. However, the real development of the steam engine-propelled ship came when the propeller replaced the paddle wheel, so it is an invention of recent times, perhaps even taken from the technology of windmills. The need to have a driving force able to rotate an endless screw, even if called a propeller-screw, caused numerous well-known or less known authors to experiment in the design of curious boats with wheels formed with blades moved by human or animal propulsion. In this brief note, we want to talk about the development of a naval propulsion system which, in the pioneering period of the development of steam propulsion, played a not inconsiderable role in the evolution of the paddle wheels transmission.

        Josef Ressel – 190 anni dopo 20m
        Josef Ressel, nasce a Chrudim nella Boemia Orientale, appartenente all’Impero d’Austria, nel 1793, da una famiglia di limitate disponibilità economiche. Ha una formazione molto articolata. Frequenta una scuola di artiglieria, passa alla facoltà di Medicina dell’Università di Vienna. Continua con gli studi forestali all’Accademia di Mariabrunn. Nel 1817 inizia il suo servizio con l’Amministrazione Forestale. Dal 1820 è a Trieste, dove riprende i suoi studi sul propulsore a elica, già abbozzati nel 1812. Nel 1827 convince un uomo d’affari, Carlo d’Ottavio Fontana, a finanziare la costruzione di una nave propulsa dalla sua elica, da impiegare in seguito sulla linea marittima Trieste-Venezia. Nell’agosto del 1829 nel corso della prima e unica prova, dopo aver raggiunto la velocità di 6 nodi, il cedimento di un tubo di vapore interrompe bruscamente la corsa della nave e l’Autorità Marittima, prevenuta, ne approfitta per decretare la sospensione definitiva delle prove. Nel 1837 passa dal Demanio Forestale alla Marina da Guerra come agente delle foreste di Venezia e dell’Istria. Oltre all’elica a spirale la sua mente ha partorito moltissime invenzioni, nonostante i suoi contemporanei non siano mai stati né generosi né riconoscenti, nei confronti del Nostro. Altri inventori in Europa e America ottennero maggiori riconoscimenti e fortune. Ressel muore nel 1857. La sua opera è divulgata e apprezzata, solo dopo la sua morte. Per onorarne la memoria sono stati eretti monumenti in Austria, nella città natale e a Lubiana. Al nome di Ressel, nel mondo è spesso associata Trieste, la città dove il Nostro sperimentò la propulsione a elica, ma a Trieste oltre a una sala del Museo del Mare e a una strada secondaria nulla ricorda il Nostro inventore.

        Le tecniche di varo, alaggio e conservazione delle imbarcazioni negli arsenali del Mezzogiorno medievale 20m
        Partendo da due documenti contenuti nei corposi volumi della cancelleria angioina è possible ricostruire le tecniche di alaggio e di varo delle imbarcazioni utilizzate negli arsenali di periodo angioino. Per fare ciò bisogna attuare un’ attenta analisi filologica di alcuni termini presenti nei due documenti in questione. Il primo è in francese vernacolare, datato 1279, e riguarda alcuni lavori di fortificazione di uno degli arsenali della città di Napoli. In particolare, si chiede di rifornire tutti gli arsenali del resto della Campania di strumenti utili per l’alaggio e il varo delle galee. Tali strumenti prendono il nome di: *basses*, *rustiques*, *paratis*, *argans*, *traitors* de *chanvre*, *tailles*. Il secondo documento è invece in latino-medievale ed è datato 1272, e anche qui, in occasione di lavori di cui necessitava l’arsenale di Messina si consegnano alcuni strumenti per agevolare l’alaggio e il varo delle galee nell’arsenale. Questi strumenti sono quasi praticamente gli stessi affidati agli arsenali campani del documento precedente ma scritti in latino: *petias basarum*, *palatas*, *arganos*, *agumina* *grossa*, *tallias* *magnas*. Tramite l’interazione con altri documenti coevi e successivi è possibile risalire al significato di ognuno dei termini degli strumenti sopradetti e di conseguenza ricostruire le techiche di alaggio e di varo utilizzate, e inoltre comprendere come queste non siano affatto cambiate nel passaggio tra medioevo ed età moderna. Una volta sciolti i dubbi sul come un’ imbarcazione potesse effettivamente entrare o uscire dall’arsenale, capiremo tramite l’analisi di un altro documento della cancelleria angioina come questa potesse, invece, permanere al suo interno, evitando che agenti come l’umidità e la corrosione la intaccassero.

        Il Paesaggio marino e costiero: Patrimonio geologico e culturale 20m
        L’attività svolta nell’ambito del percorso formativo di Alternanza Scuola Lavoro (ASL), tra l’Istituto di Scienze Marine del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ISMAR-CNR) sede di Napoli, ed il Liceo Scientifico “Galileo Galilei” di Napoli si è incentrata su tematiche inerenti la risorsa mare. Dopo un accurato studio bibliografico, finalizzato all’approfondimento di alcuni concetti base sulle componenti e dinamiche delle Scienze della Terra e del Sistema Mare, ed attività pratiche (di laboratorio e di campo in ambiente marino), realizzate in collaborazione con i ricercatori dell’ISMAR, lo studente è stato formato ad una lettura critica del territorio in termini di forme del paesaggio, con particolare attenzione alle definizioni geologiche di Pericolosità, Rischio e dunque Resilienza del territorio. Sono state realizzate delle schede tecniche, riassuntive del confronto tra il paesaggio napoletano dell’ambiente marino-costiero, come ritratto nelle opere pittoriche del Vedutismo (‘700 - ‘800), con quello attuale, oggi in gran parte trasformato a causa della intensa antropizzazione del territorio. Il lavoro ha avuto come finalità la sensibilizzazione delle “coscienze” sulla tutela e salvaguardia del territorio marino. L’esperienza progettuale condotta con gli studenti ha rilevato che la comprensione e la valorizzazione del Paesaggio napoletano in termini scientifici, rappresenta un patrimonio culturale e può avere risvolti applicativi ampi ed interessanti in termini di sviluppo economico-sostenibile, in linea con quanto prescritto dalla Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio.

        The submerged cultural landscape: examples from the Bay of Naples 20m
        A substantial amount of prehistoric and historic cultural landscapes is now submerged. Sea levels have fluctuated throughout geological time, periodically encroaching or retreating across coastal plains. These now-submerged zones were important for prehistoric and historic humans, allowing access to marine and terrestrial resources and to transportation and migration routes. The principal process contributing to sea-level changes is the exchange of water between the continental ice sheets and the oceans (glacio-eustatic sea-level changes). Eustatic sea-level changes occur on an oceanic to worldwide scale. They also result from a change in the size of the ocean basin following tectonic seafloor spreading (tectono-eustasy) or sedimentation (sedimento-eustasy). In addition, sea level changes can be driven by local changes of the land with respect to the sea surface due to tectonic deformations, sediment compaction, and human activity. Inundated terrestrial archaeological sites, however, can result from a number of other natural processes, as well as sea-level changes, including earthquakes (such as Port Royal in Jamaica), volcanic processes (such as the ports of Misenum and Baiae, and Portus Julius and Nisida in the Mediterranean) and flooding event (such as Herakleion and Eastern Canopus in Egypt).

        Palazzo Marina a Roma: “faro” di storia e cultura marittima e navale 20m
        Storica e monumentale sede della Marina Militare nella Capitale, “Palazzo Marina” assolve fin dalla sua fondazione il ruolo di importante “faro” di cultura marinara e di strumento di comunicazione della marittimità italiana. L’edificio è stato volutamente eretto sulle sponde del Tevere per ribadire la natura- le e storica vocazione marittima dell’Italia e per ricordare come la penisola abbia conquistato un ruolo preminente nella storia ogni qual volta abbia assecondato la sua geografia. Un messaggio, questo, che l’edificio “trasmette” da 90 anni, attra- verso la sua posizione e tramite un programma iconografico (e quindi comunicati- vo) espresso fin dalla facciata e riaffermato all’interno, nel susseguirsi degli am- bienti di rappresentanza. La vicinanza al fiume risponde alla volontà governativa di collocare il Ministero della Marina in una “ideale e anche fisica continuità tra il Tevere navigabile e il mare” e di rimandare, così, alla vocazione marinara che Roma, attraverso il suo fiume - antica via per il Mediterraneo -, ha sempre rivendicato, ponendosi alla stregua di Venezia e Genova. Genova, Roma e Venezia sono i nomi iscritti sulle tre finestre monumentali dell’avancorpo centrale della facciata di Palazzo Marina sul Lungotevere: sono i simboli dell’Imperium Maris italiano nella storia, che vengono menzionati anche al suo interno, sia nelle decorazioni pittoriche e scultoree, sia nelle arti applicate. Inaugurato il 28 ottobre 1928, ma progettato tra il 1911 e il 1913 nell’ambito del programma edilizio governativo di Roma Capitale di epoca giolittiana, l’edificio, eretto appositamente per la Marina Militare (all’epoca Regia Marina) e ad essa esclusivamente destinato,“parla” di mare attraverso iscrizioni, simboli, raffigura- zioni e quello straordinario “ordine architettonico marinaro” che il suo progettista, Giulio Magni, inventa per l’occasione. Vero e proprio unicum per la sua intonazione navale, Palazzo Marina propone al visitatore un viaggio simbolico e storico a ritroso attraverso le glorie d’Italia sul mare, dalla Grande Guerra all’antica Roma. Il percorso parte dalla Grande Guerra, cui fanno riferimento le due ancore delle corazzate austroungariche Viribus Unitis e Tegetthoff - esibite in facciata come trofei di guerra-, per risalire, attraverso un itinerario sia fisico sia ideale, fino all’antica Roma, passando per il Risorgimento, la battaglia di Lepanto, le Repubbliche Marinare. Tutte le arti sono dispiegate per celebrare la Marina e il suo elemento naturale, il mare; scultura, pittura, arti applicate, elementi d’arredo assumono forme di navi, di onde, di vele e di remi, di animali marini e di simboli marinari, attinti non solo dall'epoca classica, ma anche dalle glorie delle Repubbliche di Venezia e di Geno- va. I ritratti e le allegorie rimandano alla storia italiana, sia bellica sia esplorativa. Alle iconografie consolidate vengono affiancate altre inusitate, elaborate per mostrare le nuove scienze e le nuove tecnologie di cui la Marina si avvale e di cui è promotrice. Alle allegorie si affiancano i realistici dipinti murali di Pieretto Bianco, in una delle sale più importanti del palazzo: dedicati al vincolo indissolu- bile tra “navigare” e “costruire”, essi costituiscono uno straordinario documento figurativo di archeologia industriale, di storia navale e di storia della tecnologia italiane.

        Un patrimonio di disegni progettuali navali della fine del XIX secolo 20m
        E’ in corso presso il DITEN della Scuola Politecnica dell’Università di Genova la catalogazione, a cura della Sezione Ligure Piemontese di ATENA. di un cospicuo numero di disegni progettuali navali risalenti alla fine del XIX secolo ed ai primi anni del XX, finora conservati in armadi presso la vasca navale della Scuola. Questi disegni, quasi certamente entrati a far parte del materiale didattico di sostegno per gli studenti della Regia Scuola Superiore Navale, costituiscono una ricca fonte di consultazione e documentazione di un periodo storico dell’ingegneria navale a partire dalla fine del XIX secolo, fino ai primi decenni del XX secolo, consentendo anche lo sviluppo di percorsi tematici di approfondimento. Il riordino di questo giacimento di disegni rientra in un programma di valorizzazione e conservazione del patrimonio storico e culturale della Scuola di Ingegneria Navale di Genova, al quale partecipa la Sezione Ligure Piemontese di ATENA, che ha visto negli anni recenti la catalogazione di una raccolta di Atlas Navali relativi alla cantieristica francese di metà-fine ‘800, la pubblicazione di un catalogo dei modelli di navi e di strutture navali presenti nelle bacheche della Scuola, il censimento di strumenti di calcolo e disegno in uso nella prima metà del XX secolo, con fotografie, manuali, metadati oggi consultabili sul portale University Repository dell’Università di Genova, nell’archivio Duilioship. Il lavoro proseguirà nei prossimi mesi con la catalogazione delle tavole di questa raccolta, digitalizzate e corredate di metadati, e inserite in un repository in modo da renderne possibile la consultazione, ma si ritiene utile fornire già fin d’ora queste prime indicazioni sul tipo di materiale già censito e sui contenuti di alcune serie di tavole.

        A collection of boat models from the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico “Luigi Pigorini”: a case study 20m
        A collection of boat model kept in the former Colonial Museum in Rome, now housed in the Museo Preistorico Etnografico “Luigi Pigorini” is a rare testimony, in Italy, of traditional boats in use in the early 20th century in the Mediterranean and in the western Indian Ocean. The project — a collaboration among the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico “Luigi Pigorini”, the Università di Napoli “L’Orientale” and the Università di Napoli “Federico II” — aimed at: providing a digital record of the models, which are currently not on exhibit, an accurate description to improve and update the current museum inventory, to understand more about the history of the collection, and to study the models and the boats they represent. Some model boats were photographed to produce a digital 3D model, in order to obtain line drawings and to conduct hydrostatic analysis. This study has allowed to identify the different types of boats represented by the models and to make an assessment of their historical and ethnographic value.

        The irradiated noise underwater by the ships: a state of the art 20m
        The attention on a global scale to the preservation of the ecosystems and to the reduction of emissions connected to anthropogenic activities falls mainly on industrial activities and on the transport sector. The role of the maritime sector is crucial in this theme since it impacts both on the balance of both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Reduction of vessel emissions into the marine environment, including energy like the sound radiated underwater, has in recent years received growing attention. Underwater noise from shipping is generally considered as a major contributor to overall sea noise levels. Surface vessels radiate underwater noise mainly due to propeller cavitation; machinery on board and water flow around the ship hull High sound levels are a potential threat for marine fauna as they can mask acoustic signals used to communicate, navigate and hunt, or even induce temporary or permanent damage to sensory organs. In this paper, we want to study the last developments in this field in which a big job will be made to clarify all the aspects.

        Evacuation analysis of open deck areas on passenger ships 20m
        Passenger ships evacuation analysis is nowadays a required step in the ship design process. In this sense, a new set of international Regulations has been issued to improve the survival ability of passenger and ro-ro ships. The “Safe Return to Port” Regulation is referring to the need to grant adequate ship functionality when a casualty occurs (e.g. fire or flooding), requiring the ship evacuation when damage exceeds a given threshold. For such a reason, the evacuation analysis is mandatory for both new and existing passenger and ro-ro ships, since the early stages of design. The International Maritime Organisation Guidelines prescribe the examination of additional scenarios besides the standard ones. The present work presents a case study for the evacuation of a 4906-person cruise ship, considering the specific example of the open deck, which is one of the additional scenarios required by regulations. The advanced calculation method has been used to simulate the evacuation process, using software EVI.

        Available vs Accessible data and information _ the strategic role of adaptive communication in the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering processes 20m
        Efficient Data & Information sharing is key to and backbone of the collaborative effort to successful completion of projects on time and on budget. Current software tools generating growing amounts of data, and some generate information in more-or-less structured ways, too. However, a heterogeneous, collaborative approach is not supported much by the software industry which remains rather insular in its strategy, thereby forcing format conversions, data repetition and time-line fractures during the life-time design-to-delivery process. This causes data & information to remain, at best, accessible. A new "availability" paradigm that looks at the current environment from a different perspective is proposed for adoption and application to commence remedying the situation. Accessibility is, by definition, a search-based, existence dependent, uncertain and error-prone condition, while availability is, by definition, a data and information supply strategy that follows specific requirements expressed by each stakeholder. Contrary to general perception, proactive exploitation of data and information in the ship and yacht industries is very rarely undertaken and, even then, much less efficiently than possible today, the causes spanning from incompatible formats to culture. Although the first out-of-the-box fully enabled PLM environment for ship design and ship building is now available as a commercial software product, there remains a requirement for upstream preparation work which remains in itself a techno-cultural obstacle. On the other hand, it is nowadays possible to connect many common-place software tools into a managed, adaptive communication environment thereby effectively making data and information available to all stakeholders at the time and in the format required by each. The research presented in this paper discusses the structure and functioning of the collaborative, shared environment achieved with software tools already in common use. The already-in-use-software element is a fundamental facilitator in adjusting current practices to a more PLM-cognizant strategy and also greatly mitigates the cultural obstacles that hamper the much-needed evolution towards an AGILE and LEAN based PLM approach in our industry. The strategic role of adaptive communications is discussed in the context of requirements, constraints and the changes thereof experienced during the design-to-delivery process, disruptions which of even greater impact when caused by unforeseen events.

        Early-design issues of a gas propelled escort tug 20m
        Tethered escort of ships is performed by specially designed tugs linked by a tow-line to a strong point aft of the assisted ship. In fact, the tug is called to control the course and speed of the assisted ship in an emergency situation), so reducing the risk of grounding or collision. A substantial number of studies about ship casualties shows the grounding as the predominant accident when the ship is approaching the harbour or narrow fairways. In order to take part in escort operations, a tug must be provided with the additional service notation escort tug, which confirms its specific capabilities in accordance with particular stability criteria that will be harmonised by International Maritime Organisation from 2020. In case the tug should be propelled with Liquefied Natural Gas, then dedicated issues related to containment system should be solved. Through this paper, an overview will be given upon the possible escort operations that an escort tug could face during his operational life, together with the possible types/configurations of tugs that can be used for this kind of operations. Moreover an example will be given on the determination of escort performances by means of a self developed code on a sample tug.

        On the Digitalisation Processes in the Adriatic Region 20m
        Nowadays a fast and challenging digitalisation process is underway within the maritime domain. Many disruptive technologies will cause a radical modification of the operations, of the logistics and of the labour market in the near future. With particular attention to the Adriatic region, this work provides an extensive review of the disruptive innovations that might be applied by port authorities, shipping companies and terminal operators. The analysed technologies, dealing with both freight and passenger transport, are divided into three digitalisation macro trends: informatisation, big data and automation. In the further stages of this research activity, the most promis-ing technologies to be implemented in the Adriatic area will be selected by prime stakeholders and then subject to impact analysis. The planned meth-odology is here presented and discussed.

        Sustainable Development Goals in the cruise industry: The contribution of sustainability disclosure 20m
        This paper aims to investigate societal sustainability according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), that is the 17 global goals for Sustainable Development settled by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. Especially, the study is focused on the cruise industry that is a segment of the wider tourism industry that does not know currently "crisis" in terms of increase of the cruise demand and size ships. Drawing from a deep review of the literature and practice on the topic by integrating the SDGs model and the sustainability disclosure framework, we investigate, through a manual content analysis of sustainability disclosure sources, the major cruise companies for explaining the way in which cruise industry could follow and achieve the sustainable goals, mostly the 11 SDG. The study allows to obtain interesting and useful results for the academics and practitioners in the making-decision processes.

        Integration of nautical charts and satellite images in Marine GIS of the Gulf of Naples 20m
        In the last decades Marine Geographic Information Systems (MGISs) have had an increasing diffusion because of their ability to store, manage and analyze a great amount of heterogeneous data concerning sea and ocean environments. To build a MGIS, nautical charts are fundamental: they provides useful information such as shoreline configuration, seafloor morphology, water depths, anchorages, and other features that are suitable not only for navigation, but for marine science applications, i.e. aquatic biology and ecology. Satellite images contribute to bring more information in MGIS concerning many aspects of the sea and ocean environment, so remotely sensed data in high quality, large quantity and multitemporal acquisition can be introduced in the database. For their correct usage, satellite images require pre-elaboration to overlay them to nautical charts: usually they are supplied in different cartographic projection that the modern nautical charts as well as in different geodetic datum that the historical nautical charts, so re-projection and datum transformation are necessary and not banal. This paper aims to describe the approach adopted in MGIS of the Gulf of Naples to harmonize heterogeneous data concerning nautical charts and satellite images. Both large and medium scale maps are considered as well as remotely sensed images with high and medium resolution. The experiments demonstrate that adequate positional accuracy can be achieved for all layers compatibly with the scale of the representation.

        The progress of nautical studies in Southern Italy between 1734 and 1861 20m
        The development of the Neapolitan royal fleet and of the merchant marine in the second half of 1700s provided for a good technical preparation for the officers and sailors: therefore, an articulated structure was created for the development of nautical studies. After the arrival of Charles of Bourbon (1734) the Academy of Navy was founded for the officers and a College for Pilots was created in Naples, in the Church of Santa Maria di Loreto (1749). Then in 1770 the Nautical Colleges of Naples and Piano di Sorrento were founded. The progress of the nautical and astronomical studies introduced by illustrious professors who from time to time have used the most famous texts, first Spanish, French and English then also Italian will be studied.

        Una Vita Controvento 20m
        La presentazione è quella di un libro che descrive la biografia dell'Autore: un comandante di navi petroliere . Ma non si tratta solamente della biografia dell'Autore ma è sopratutto un racconto della vita del navigante in generale . Un libro che è stato scritto con l'intento di far emergere la figura del navigante appunto : una figura che è sconosciuta al grosso pubblico e di cui i media non parlano quasi mai .Il libro ha lo stile di un romanzo ma I fatti narrati sono assolutamente veri come lo sono i protagonisti del libro stesso.

        Marittimo 4.0: quale formazione? 20m
        L’economia del mare è un valore storico-culturale che esprime la capacità multidisciplinare e di coesione dei territori, sintetizzando le vocazioni artigianali, commerciali, manifatturiere e creative. Oggi, l’economia del mare è in pieno sviluppo e in piena trasformazione digitale, con prospettive di crescita di lungo periodo e in controtendenza rispetto alle incertezze registrate nell’economia generale. Questo, da sé, motiva un’attenzione particolare per comprendere meglio l’estensione del settore, le traiettorie evolutive e quindi i fabbisogni formativi. Le esperienze sviluppate dal Cluster marittimo regionale del Friuli Venezia Giulia (mareFVG) offrono lo spunto per lo sviluppo di iniziative multiregionali convergenti.

        Bio-inspired protective structures for marine applications 20m
        Materials and structures for marine applications often require to combine high mechanical performance with lightness. Sandwich structures based on polymeric or metallic cores are traditional lightweight solutions for marine applications. However, common sandwich structures do not always offer a suitable protection from some ordinary in-service events such as low-velocity impacts with floating and submerged objects or with docks. The design of more efficient lightweight protective systems for marine applications, may take inspiration from nature, which developed incredible solutions throughout millions of years of evolution. In the current work, bamboo structure was studied and subjected to mechanical tests. The results of the analysis allowed the identification of some structural characteristics which make the investigated materials efficient in impact absorption. Consequently, some bio-inspired designs were suggested with the aim of improving low-velocity impact resistance of some marine structures, providing good structural performance and lightweight properties.

        Dredgers and Dredging Design Restraints 20m
        Dredging operations require deep maritime culture and experience, nowadays joined to a real environmental integrity. Moreover technological development gives new tools in dredging devices and general equipments, so that dredger evolution is improving and new design solutions are also expected in the near future. Taking into account new upgrades, available in the technical literature, this paper has the aim to analyze some design and operational restraints, both for dredgers hull and for the adopted dredging devices. Finally, a short overview of class rules for dredger ships will be outlined.

        Mechanical Behaviour of Strip-Planked Wood for Boatbuilding 20m
        The strip-planking technique, which is based on the use of glued-laminated wood, is characterized by many interesting features for wood boatbuilding. The main advantages offered are an easier construction process along with a better exploitation of the mechanical properties of the materials. In order to investigate the response of a particular glued-laminated wooden panel (made by Douglas fir longitudinal strip planks combined with thinner Mahogany veneers at ± 45°), which is quite common for boat construction, a series of experimental tests has been carried out. In the analyzed laminated structure, the Douglas fir strips are the inner layer and give the shape of the hull, whereas the outer Mahogany veneers, in addition to contributing to the overall strength of the structure, give water-tightness to the hull. The results of the tests performed on different specimens are presented in the paper. Specifically, in accordance with the guidelines of the UNI EN standards, bending tests on glued-laminated wooden panels have been carried out. Moreover, tensile and compression tests on specimens made only by Douglas fir strips at 0° or by Mahogany veneers at ± 45° have also been performed. The aim of this study is to find a reliable approach for the structural boat design, using laminated-wood panels with different layers, and strip-planking technique.

        Houseboating in ancient times: thalamegos, lusoriae, cubiculae and the Nemi ships as ancestors of nowadays floating houses trend 20m
        Houseboating is mainly known as a popular recreational activity, that takes place all around the world, involving groups of people of all ages, aboard houseboats of all varieties and sizes. Houseboating is a relatively recent, but this practice seems to have a very ancient history. In fact, it can find its roots in India as well as in China or in the European continent, but the history of this practise has often been told indistinguishably with the origins of pleasure boating. It is hard to define which could have been the very first houseboat or floating home in history, since they have in common almost all the features that will distinguish it from working and military boats. This fact plus a diffused imprecise definition of ‘houseboat’, in the past as nowadays, makes it difficult to reconstruct the true beginning of houseboating, without mixing it with the birth of pleasure yachting. Even if houseboats and pleasure boats are often used as synonymous, these kinds of crafts have in common only the purpose of being both dedicated to a spend some leisure time on board. However if yachts main aim is to sail, with navigation as the main activity to do on board, houseboats primarily feature is to be used as a home, not necessarily moving around but simply floating. Knowing this difference, houseboats may be even older than pleasure boats, with the *Thalamegos* and the Nemi ships as its most famous ancestors. The aim of this work is to define the difference between houseboats, floating houses and pleasure boats, while tracing their forerunners in the Ancient History of the Western World. The most famous Hellenistic floating palace, the *Thalamegos*, the Roman *lusoriae* and *cubiculatae* and the Nemi Ships have been analysed in this work in order to point out similarity and differences between houseboating and pleasure boating, showing links and features with the crafts of today.

        Il restauro di Velarca. La ricostruzione dello scafo 20m
        Restaurare Velarca è stato riportarla al suo poterla usare, viverla come catalizzatore di atmosfere, pensieri, scambi, come contenitore di culture, conoscenze e modi di essere. E come momento di svago. Perché Velarca nel modo in cui è stata voluta dai suoi proprietari e resa da Belgiojoso, Banfi, Perassutti e Rogers nel 1961 è stata tutto questo. Nella storia dell’imbarcazione in legno, ricostruire e, spesso più volte, sostituire elementi ammalorati è pratica comune. La natura regala il materiale giovane per realizzare elementi nuovi identici a quelli che hanno compiuto il loro ciclo. Per il programma di restauro di Velarca lo scafo è stato ricostruito con le stesse forme, gli stessi materiali e la medesima ossatura. Su questo saranno trasferiti gli interni e in buona parte le sovrastrutture

        Contemporary Boatbuilding Traditions in Sulawesi 20m
        Indonesia is a very rich country in terms of maritime heritage, both underwater and ethnographic. The historical relevance of the islands in the global maritime trade network is recognised worldwide, so as the particularity of boat construction and navigation techniques. Contemporary wooden boatbuilding activities and traditional sailing still survive in various Indonesian regions. After a first visit to the island of Sulawesi, in 2018, the authors identified a case study particular significant to enhance the study of the Indonesian maritime heritage: the boatyards of South Sulawesi, Tana Beru and Bira. These boatyards were inscribed in 2017 on the UNESCO representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Vessels constructed in these boatyards are generically called pinisi, a common name attributed to large passenger and cargo boats propelled by sail and engine, which were traditionally associated to the schooners. Boatbuilding construction techniques and ship design in Indonesia are constantly changing, therefore, it is getting more and more important to deepen our knowledge into the complexity of people nautical and maritime skills and activities and to record hull shape and construction characteristics of the boats they produce. Several small boatyards are also widespread in Sulawesi, here, a variety of small-size wooden boats are built. The study consisted in the use of the ethnographic method, considering together social, linguistic, material culture aspects, and maritime traits and manifestations of societies involved in boatbuilding and maritime activities. Hull shapes and construction characteristics have been recorded using the 3D photogrammetry, the resulting 3D models have been used to extrapolate two-dimensional visions of naval lines and construction drawings useful as long standing record of a changing tradition, comprehensible to boatbuilders, nautical architects and engineers, and useful for possibile future reconstructions. So far, very few and limited studies have been conducted on the communities involved in the construction of wooden boats in this region, nautical terminology has never been systematically recorded and existing boats have rarely been surveyed in detail. Understanding the social and linguistic background of people living and working in the Sulawesi boatyards, and of those involved in the life of the boatyards, is crucial to reconnect past to present practices of building boats, to understand changes in traditions and the economic implications related to transitions in building techniques and vice versa. Local wisdom related to maritime knowledge and boat construction, as well as their detailed terminology have also been captured through the recording of oral stories, rituals and practices.

        Impact of hybrid propulsion on the project of passenger ferries for Italian scenario. 20m
        In Italy there is a large fleet of passenger ferries , this fleet is operating in a very special scenario: no matters if we talk about Internal waters like the lakes or the venetian lagoon or the islands in Gulf of Naples or the Sicilian islands, all those ferries must deal with port structures, often of historical interest, and environmental situations extremely particulars and requiring attention. In fact the ferries operating in those areas have the need to offer great manouvrability, silent running, low emissions or no emissions. For all those aspects the hybrid propulsion, combining the use of diesel electric generators and batteries offers the possibility to adopt efficient systems for manouvrability and propulsion, like azimuthal or azipodal propellers and battery packs to ensure silent approaching to the mooring facilities, the possibility to stay at night in port without generators working during the nocturnal stop, realizing a ship that close the areas of interest can operate with almost complete silence and no pollution. All those advantages have an impact on the general layout of the project considering the necessity to respect the limitations in term of stability, with special attention to the damaged stability conditions. The disposition and the subdivision must be adequated to the navigation requests, according to the range calculation performed considering the results of tank tests and the evaluation of the size batteries. Furthermore the hybrid propulsion, as well knows, can be more “space demanding” in terms of installation, due to the need to install not only the diesel engine but also several components for the management of the propulsion system, and this has an impact on subdivision. In conclusion the subject of the work is the case study of several project for ferries , different in size and typology, with hybrid propulsion, examining the fact that the request of maintaining the stability criteria and consequents choices of project, oblige the naval architect to a careful disposition of the subdivision and the work aims at underlining those aspects.

        RoPax: L'evoluzione del layout 20m
        Abstract. La ricerca in oggetto intende investigare il settore delle RoPax, ovvero delle navi destinate al trasporto misto di passeggeri e veicoli dotati di ruote, oggi considerate tra i vettori di maggior interesse nella sfera del Transportation Design, grazie alle ricadute positive che il loro impiego ha evidenziato nell’ambito degli scambi commerciali e della coesione territoriale. Il ferry si è diffuso in Europa a partire dalla seconda metà del XX secolo, un’epoca caratterizzata da una incalzante ripresa economica post-guerra che ha favorito lo sviluppo delle rotte commerciali e della cantieristica navale. Il ferry costituisce l’estensione diretta delle reti viarie e ferroviarie sull’acqua in assenza di infrastrutture di terra. Non è un caso che derivi dalla “landing ship tank”, le navi realizzate per le operazioni anfibie che consentivano di sbarcare soldati e veicoli sulla spiaggia, della quale ha ereditato la versatilità e la praticità come valori identitari che ne contraddistinguono lo spirito del viaggio. Lo studio mira a far emergere le trasformazioni più significative inerenti alla forma architettonica della nave, attraverso l’analisi e il confronto di disegni di unità selezionate sulla base di criteri comuni, quali il tipo di carico, l’area geografica di servizio, ecc. Ciò che interessa maggiormente è ricostruire l’evoluzione del layout per comprendere le motivazioni che hanno orientato le scelte progettuali sino ad oggi. Tra le tante variabili di ordine tecnico e stilistico, il design del ferry è estremamente influenzato dalle trasformazioni sociali e dagli stili di vita dei passeggeri. Di recente, l’utilizzo del ferry ha fatto registrare un’impennata che ha spinto le compagnie armatrici a incrementare la qualità dei servizi e dell’intrattenimento a bordo. Pertanto, navigare sul ferry a mutato di significato, da viaggio “spartano” a confortevole quasi come su una nave da crociera. Il confronto tra ingegneria e architettura è divenuto più che mai attuale e determinante per la realizzazione di buone navi. Rivolgendo lo sguardo avanti, le prossime sfide saranno dettate dall’innovazione sostenibile e dalla rivoluzione digitale, aprendo la porta a nuovi scenari nell’industria navale, che modificheranno nuovamente il layout del RoPax.

        Evolution of the motor yacht superstructure: relations between habitable plant and environmental context 20m
        The motor yacht, in the course of its evolution in the modern period, ever since it has become an element of serial production and therefore of global diffusion, has profoundly retraced its typological identity: its external conformation has become over time an identifying element of the more different ways to conceive and decline yachting. By virtue of a principle closely related to social factors, its formal definition initially relates to styling and aerodynamics, for the only factor that presupposed a totalizing sporting experience, even in its aesthetic celebration: dynamism. The superstructure becomes precisely the field of choice through which this character find aesthetic definition. In its evolutionary path the recreational cabin cruiser will progressively move away from the boundaries of the mere stylistic research that had characterized nautical production for several decades, to retrace the typological boundaries in eminently functional terms. In recent times, it has become the interpreter of a complete evolution, not limited only to the formal- aesthetic field. It rediscovers its essence of habitable structure and, as such, its contiguity with the productive and research sectors related to the theme of the "habitable machine". The superstructure of the modern boat represents an "interactive envelope", almost completely losing the self-referential definition, limited to the aesthetic field, which it had in the past. It becomes a technological envelope, with a complete interface with the environmental context; it is a metaphor for a possible transformation of the pleasure boat, which rethinks its relationship with the sea: passing from a consumerist phase to a more thoughtful one that respects the environmental resource. In the deck system, the original split between the interior and the external context – in particular, between the perimeter casing and the parts of the layout – is now increasingly attenuated on the basis of a progressive connection between these components: in the organization of a system, or of an increasingly complete interaction among heterogeneous elements. The superstructure then is no longer an isolated shell, but an integrated complex, dynamically adaptive with respect to environmental variables, and interactive with respect to the various parts of the set-up complex. It is the organism that regulates the functions and interactions of the living cell (understood as a complex object) in which the aesthetic apparatus has been progressively relativized. From this point of view, the nautical object could be seen as an evolved industrial product, as a significant field of application of heterogeneous specialties: the superstructure and the main deck become instruments of connection between the housing activity and the environmental context, in the multitude of aspects that the modern conception of life on board underlies. In the typological complexity the role of the project assumes a decisive importance, since, besides a formal and functional ideational tool, it becomes the programmer of the confluence of specific aspects. The excursus also aims to analyse the evolutionary process of the "total" project, which could be seen in its composition as a continuum, increasingly oriented to environmental compatibility and - from the point of view of optimization of resources - to the adoption of innovative manufacturing processes, technologies and materials. The result is the synthesis of a confluence of multiple specialist areas, some traditionally connected to the nautical sector, some unprecedented ones, others shared with different design and production sectors.

        L’evoluzione del trattamento sanitario a bordo delle navi militari italiane 20m
        Il problema del trattamento sanitario a bordo delle navi militari è stato affrontato in maniera diversa nella storia della navigazione, assumendo un rilievo più o meno significativo nelle varie epoche storiche. Da una visione sintetica delle soluzioni tecnologiche adottate da varie Marine Militari nella storia, per la cura dei feriti e dei malati a bordo, si arriva all’esposizione dei moderni criteri internazionali di classificazione delle capacità di trattamento sanitario, presentando le soluzioni adottate dalla Marina Militare Italiana sia per le ultime unità relative alla Legge Navale del 2014, sia per altre precedenti.

        The Failed Project of the “Heavy” MAS 20m
        This paper is focused on the history of a specific MAS (Motoscafo Armato Silurante) project among the many that were developed. The MAS was a class of fast torpedo armed vessel used by the Regia Marina during World War I up to World War II. During the two World Wars the general design of the MAS, however, was changed. From 1932 to 1937 the Baglietto shipyard developed, among the many projects, two different prototypes: the MAS-431 and the Motor Torpedo & Gun Boat “Stefano Turr”. The first project was a small and very fast ship that represents the evolution of the MAS of the first World War, summarizing the best of the experiences gathered up to that moment. The “Stefano Turr” project was a large boat of over 60 tons of displacement that, besides dimensions notably superior to those of the MAS-431, has a stepped hull similar to the MAS-431. Unfortunately, the “Stefano Turr” project not gave satisfactory results in terms of performance. This paper tries to investigate the reasons for the lack of success of the hull performance using modern tools as the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach.

        L’evoluzione della capacità di sopravvivenza delle unità navali militari dal secondo dopoguerra ad oggi 20m
        Una caratteristica importante di una unità navale militare è rappresentata dalla sua capacità di sopravvivenza (o *survivability*), ossia dalla capacità di continuare ad operare secondo gli scopi assegnati anche quando si trovi oggetto di attacchi ostili in uno scenario bellico o, comunque, in presenza di minacce esterne. La nave militare, infatti, è concepita per operare in combattimento e, in queste circostanze, deve essere in grado di evitare le minacce, sopportarne gli effetti distruttivi, conservando o ritornando il più velocemente possibile alla operatività necessaria. Nel presente articolo, viene fornita una panoramica dei diversi aspetti e provvedimenti che occorre considerare al fine di massimizzare la *survivability* e si vuole mostrare come sia mutato l’approccio nella valutazione di tali aspetti nel corso dei decenni dal secondo dopoguerra ad oggi, in relazione agli eventi bellici e alla parallela evoluzione delle minacce.
