This thesis presents the design of an advanced, zero-emission research vessel conceived as a versatile platform for multidisciplinary marine research. Integrating naval architecture with sustainability principles, the project aims to establish a new benchmark for environmentally responsible maritime innovation. The vessel supports a wide range of scientific and technological activities, including seafloor mapping, oceanographic measurements, diving and ROV operations, meteorological observations, and marine infrastructure inspection. It is designed to enable full-scale hydrodynamic and aerodynamic experimentation, supporting research in renewable energy systems, advanced propulsion, energy storage, intelligent vessel management, and durable materials for harsh marine environments. A modular architectural approach allows rapid reconfiguration for diverse applications across marine biology, environmental science, oceanography, and underwater archaeology. In addition to its research role, the vessel serves as an educational and collaborative platform, fostering interaction among students, researchers, and industry partners.
