The Maritime and Aquaculture Professional Academy of Bastia (LPMA Bastia) in Corsica has recently welcomed a new training vessel named Alba, which is equipped with a cutting-edge hydrogen-electric propulsion system. The vessel, designed by French naval architecture firm Mauric, aims to enhance the training experience for prospective fishing vessel crews by providing hands-on experience with innovative technology. Alba boasts impressive specifications, including an overall length of 19.95 meters, a beam of 5.6 meters, and the capacity to accommodate 12 students and two crew members. With features tailored for longline and seine fishing, the vessel is well-equipped for practical training sessions. The hydrogen-electric propulsion system, comprising two 200kW electric motors, battery packs, and range extenders powered by compressed hydrogen, allows Alba to reach a top speed of 13 knots and operate for up to 11 hours at an economical cruising speed of 10 knots. Noteworthy components of the vessel include a spacious engine compartment for instructional purposes, hydraulic deck cranes for practical exercises, and a large wheelhouse for teaching navigation and maneuvering skills while at sea. The introduction of Alba represents a significant step towards promoting energy efficiency and innovative technology in maritime education at LPMA Bastia.
