ABOUT US
Ship design out of the box
Our History
During the 2017 Maritime Convention at SNAME , Raffaele Frontera was impressed by the tremendous talent of a group of student winners of the Dr. James A. Lisnyk student ship design competition, which has been won three years in a row by the same group. During these years, a beautiful friendship was born between Raffaele Frontera and the Argentinean group, which made Raffaele think of protecting and further developing this talent. Therefore, Raffaele Frontera decided to found this company based on the talent of these guys in developing zero emission designs with the signature of Ton Bos, who will guarantee the maximum operational efficiency of such innovative vessels based on his 37 years of experience in the maritime field.
The team has won the first award on 3 consecutive occasions, all of them with at least one member of the Aurelia team participating. In 2017, two designs were carried out simultaneously, an AHTS, in 2018, a Fisheries Research Vessel (FRV) and in 2019 as MY and an ALV.
Participation in this competition allowed each of Aurelia’s members to develop the capacity to carry out original and high- quality conceptual projects with constant contact with shipowners It also strengthened teamwork, a quality that makes each member of Aurelia unique and necessary. The trip to the annual SNAME conventions to receive the awards allowed the group to make itself known and attract attention at each attendance. This led to the formation of Aurelia many thanks to the connectivity that SNAME generates.
Mission to 2026
Aurelia’s mission is to influence the maritime world by proposing zero-emission ships, introducing a new way of designing vessels starting from operational knowledge.
As naval architects of a company focused on environmentally friendly ship design, we identify the value of contributing to the reduction of environmental pollution with innovative ship design and zero emissions.
Aurelia will focus on the design of zero-emission vessels, incorporating green technology with the added value of an optimized smart design based on strong operational knowledge.
The aim is to bring innovative developments to the market following the latest standards and innovations based on preliminary design and calculations.
The European Commission’s proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 places Europe, and other world powers, on a path of responsibility to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, increasing the ambition of the target for the next 10 years, which in turn increases the concern of a large number of shipowners, shipyards, and shipping companies, among other fronts that are present in our sector and on whom Aurelia’s vision to 2030 is focused.
The Seeds
Ton Bos wishes to give his own signature to the world of naval architecture, investing in the talent of this Argentinean team led by Raffaele Frontera. To become a Dutch company, where different nationalities coexist, without limits of distance, language or culture, with the only common demarcator: Aurelia. Based on the example of HMC BV and its experience of more than 35 years of work.
Green Mission
As one of the most famous quotes by Enzo Ferrari said: “Give a child a piece of paper, some colors and ask him to draw a car, he will surely make it red”, so we have the ambition that the children of the next generation will take a paper and some colors and when asked to color a ship they will make it green, like the future of the world, hoping that it will be in the style of an Aurelia design.
