For over 50 years, CARONTE have accompanied more than 5,000,000 passengers every year with their ships along Sicily and its archipelagos.
Looking to the future, CARONTE think about eco-sustainable transport. A desire that materializes in a series of initiatives in all areas, including the acquisition of new green units such as the Elio ship (the first LNG ferry in the Mediterranean) and hybrid ships.
CARONTE, with extensive experience in managing research projects funded by various institutions, will contribute its expertise to demonstrate technologies aimed at enhancing fire protection on board vessels.
CARONTE will utilize their fleet’s ships as case studies, showcasing different sizes and cargo types (commercial and private vehicles) to study fire behavior and develop effective protection systems, focusing on reducing risks and designing efficient fire protection measures for vessels, components, vehicles, and personnel.
