In recent days, an agreement has been signed between the Mediterranean University Department of Engineering Diceam, with the Natural Maritime Engineering Laboratory Noel and the port system authority of the southern and Ionian Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas the president of the ADSP is present at the signing Andrea Agostinellithe rector of the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria Giuseppe Zimbalattithe director of the Dicam Giuseppe Barbarothe colleague Felice Arenascientific manager of the Convention and the staff involved in the agreement.
The agreement provides for an important contribution for the development of the port of Vibo Valentia, inserted within the port system authority of the southern and Ionian Tyrrhenian Seas. Specifically, the preparatory studies for the creation of the extension of the Foranea dam of the port of Vibo with rewec3 type cassonito exploit the energy of the waves of the sea. The extension of the overflugal dam is already included in the planning of the port of Vibo Valentia.
Rewec3 cassoni are an invention of prof. Paolo Boccottiemeritus of the Mediterranean University and founder of the Noel laboratory. The study will see a possible application of an idea born and developed in a Mediterranean laboratory, Noel, in an important port of Calabria.
Considering the energy that it will be possible to produce from the sea waves, The port of Vibo Valentia will become a green port, capable, that is, to produce the energy necessary for the function of the port inside, using a totally renewable energy source, the waves of the sea.
The Convention is part of the Framework Program Agreement signed a month ago by President Agostinelli and Rector Zimbalatti, for a collaboration between the University of Reggio Emilia and the port system authority of the Southern and Ionian Tyrrhenian Seas.
