The main features are described related to the development of an innovative passenger ship, starting from the concept design up to the final realization of the real scale prototype. The vessel herein enlightened is represented by a very unconventional solution for the employment in the short range passenger traffic with a low environmental impact. The proposed solution has been inspired by both hydrofoil and SWATH technologies with the aim of matching relatively high transfer speeds, low environmental impact and reduced wave washing phenomena. The acronym for this hybrid vessel has been chosen in ENVIROALISWATH, a term which indicates all the mentioned design characteristics.

Abstract
The main features are described related to the development of an innovative passenger ship, starting from the concept design up to the final realization of the real scale prototype. The vessel herein enlightened is represented by a very unconventional solution for the employment in the short range passenger traffic with a low environmental impact. The proposed solution has been inspired by both hydrofoil and SWATH technologies with the aim of matching relatively high transfer speeds, low environmental impact and reduced wave washing phenomena. The acronym for this hybrid vessel has been chosen in ENVIROALISWATH, a term which indicates all the mentioned design characteristics. The Department of Naval Architecture of the University of Genova cooperated with Rodriquez Cantieri Navali to develop the complete design of this new vessel. The present works describes the development of the structure design.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
