On June 24th, 2025, the sHYpS Consortium convened in Děčín, Czech Republic, for the fourth annual General Assembly of the sHYpS Project. The event was graciously hosted and organized by our partner, Chart Industries, Inc., and brought together all project partners to assess the progress of both technical and administrative activities.

Throughout the day, Work Package Leaders presented the current status of their activities, offering a structured and comprehensive review of the project's evolution. This collaborative exchange reinforced team alignment and helped chart the path forward for upcoming milestones aimed at advancing a more sustainable maritime sector.

PNO Innovation Italy continues to play a key role in supporting the project’s communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities under Work Package 8. Representing PNO, Manuela Guiducci and Maryam Mirpourian joined the meeting remotely to present updates and guide partners on how to maximize the visibility and impact of project results.

A highlight of the General Assembly was the guided visit to the Chart Ferox production facilities, where participants had the opportunity to see the TCS/FPR (Tank Conditioning System / Fuel Processing and Regulation) system firsthand. This site visit provided valuable insights into the real-world application of the project’s technologies, adding tangible context to the ongoing discussions and deepening the consortium’s shared commitment to innovation.
