On June 26, 2025, the final workshop of the Croatian Science Foundation project “Sustainable Slow Steaming for Low Carbon Shipping” (IP-2020-02-8568, STARSHIP) was held at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb. The workshop was attended by 51 participants and featured the presentation of experimental and numerical results achieved during the project.
During the event, six members of the research team presented results related to the project’s three key objectives: the investigation of ship resistance and propulsion characteristics, the investigation of main propulsion engine performance, and the investigation of complex vibrational problems of propulsion shafting system and their impact on fatigue life assessment under off-design conditions.
In addition to the presentations by the research team members, four invited lectures from representatives of academia and industry further enriched the workshop program. Of particular note was the invited lecture titled “Research and Innovation in Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore – Overview,” delivered by Prof. Šime Malenica from Bureau Veritas (Paris, France), an internationally recognized expert in the field of ship hydrodynamics.
In her opening and closing remarks, the project leader, Prof. Nastia Degiuli, emphasized the importance of the achieved results and the successful completion of all planned research activities.
