Cutting-edge technologies and eco-friendly design methods have been used for the new ships of the Italian Navy in order to ensure their environmental sustainability thanks to the reduction of energy consumption. Such methods include:

  • use of LED-based lighting, allowing nearly 40% energy saving as against fluorescent lamps, along with additional 10% reduction due to the reduced heat generation;
  • use of silicone-based paints, not harmful to the marine environment, for hull coating, allowing propulsion fuel saving of over 25%, thanks to improved antifouling treatments;
  • use of Exhaust after-treatment with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions causing the so-called acid rains, below the Tier III limits as defined in Marpol-Annex VI, in force since January 2016 for Emission Control Areas.
