17TH PALERMO SICILY ITALIA MEDITERRANEAN SEA CIRCUMNAVIGATION WORLD RECORDS 1ST FASTEST FASTEST ZEWT HYDROGEN POWERED SHIP AROUND THE IN 80 EIGHTY DAYS JULES VERNE

Palermo is Sicily's administrative capital, a centre for much of the region's finance, tourism and commerce. The city currently hosts an international airport. Palermo's economic growth over the years has brought the opening of many new businesses. The economy mainly relies on tourism and services, but also has commerce, shipbuilding and agriculture.

The port of Palermo was founded by the Phoenicians over 2,700 years ago together. From here ferries link Palermo to Cagliari, Genoa, Livorno, Naples, Tunis and other cities and carry a total of almost 2 million passengers annually. It is also an important port for cruise ships. Traffic includes also almost 5 million tonnes (5.5 million short tons) of cargo and 80,000 TEUs yearly.

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is one of the five Italian autonomous regions, in Southern Italy along with surrounding minor islands, officially referred to as Regione Siciliana.

Sicily is located in the central Mediterranean Sea, south of the Italian Peninsula, from which it is separated by the narrow Strait of Messina. Its most prominent landmark is Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe, and one of the most active in the world.

Palermo is not hydrogen ready as we write, hence clean fleet operators will have to seek alternative handling facilities to comply with the IMO's 2040 target.

17TH LEG - At a speed of 13 knots the seventeenth leg of the hydrogen powered zero carbon voyage would take just over half a day day to complete, free of emissions. The demonstration of ZEWT technology in action, could help speed up the transition to non polluting waterborne transport. These projections are only a guide. Many of the ports of call could be bypassed completely to give us a shorter passage.
