INNO2MARE has been featured in a recent article published by RIportal, highlighting one of the project's innovative pilot initiatives developed by experts from the University of Rijeka. The article showcases a cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) firefighting training system designed to simulate engine room fire scenarios without exposing seafarers to real danger.
The solution combines advanced scientific fire and smoke modelling with immersive VR technology, creating a highly realistic training environment for maritime professionals. According to the article, the system has already been tested by firefighters and seafarers, who confirmed its realism and potential value for improving emergency preparedness at sea.
The feature also highlights the broader impact of the INNO2MARE project, which brings together partners from Croatia, Slovenia, and Belgium to strengthen maritime innovation ecosystems and accelerate the transition from research to real-world applications. In addition to the VR training platform, INNO2MARE is supporting innovations in AI-based navigation and energy management for the maritime sector.
