MONACO, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After four intense days, the Yacht Club de Monaco concluded the 12th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. Uniboat-University of Bologna Argonauts Team, supported by Sanlorenzo, was crowned overall champion, and for the fourth time, they won the Energy Class (2021,2022,2023 and 2025) . At the Challenge, major industry players and young engineers combined their expertise to accelerate the sector's energy transition. This year again, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, President of the Yacht Club de Monaco, was keen to meet the students, stopping at paddock to discover the latest advances and following the races up close from the pontoon. “This edition was quite unique. The event itself was quite unique because it is impossible to find so many young engineers working for the sustainability of the yachting industry at the same place at the same time. Monaco is still the place where we can be in advance and for that reason we are Capital of Advanced Yachting”, said Bernard d'Alessandri, YCM General Secretary. “We are very proud to host and to work with young generations and it is beautiful to see people from everywhere in the world heading to the same direction”, he added.

MONACO, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exploring the potential of alternative fuels in the maritime sector. During the days of the 12th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (1-5 July), at the Alternative Fuels Conference on Friday morning, different actors gathered together to discuss technology aspects, challenges, and advancements related to marine energy solutions based on alternative fuels, including hydrogen, methanol, and other innovative sources. Clean hydrogen is still the starting point when it comes to clean energy sources, but now it is time to investigate more to make the next step. As of now, the technology is ready, but it has to be accompanied by infrastructure, investments and supply chain. From an infrastructure point of view, the evolution could be the same as it occurred with oil in the past. “We are looking at the full value chain, a bit like if it was a pipeline. We only provide one piece of the puzzle, but it is a big one. The ecosystem is made of a vessel that will transport, for example, green ammonia from Australia to Korea to Japan in bulk format. Basically, we help owners thanks to our expertise in owning and leasing large floating units,” said Philippe Lavagna, product account manager at SBM Offshore. “We say we need a transition, and it takes time. Miracles don't happen overnight. That's why we are committed to provide clean solutions to the industry,” he added.
