Abstract
The peculiarities of the European inland waterway transport are analyzed, and a novel design of a pushboat for barges convoys is proposed. To this aim a hybrid electric propulsion system is adopted with the perspective to define an eco-friendly vessel. Innovative and green technologies based on dual fuel LNG engines and electric motors/generators available on market are effectively installed onboard.
