Advances in battery technology make it possible for short-sea ships and feeder vessels to electrify. That simultaneously offers the possibility to cut costs and emissions and improve vessel efficiency

Savings of more than 50% on fleet-wide emissions can be achieved using cheap modifications on ships. Compared to the cost of building new LNG powered vessels, there is no contest. And the cuts to carbon emissions are twice as high

Incat and Echandia are demonstrating how working closer together on modular battery integration, collaborative vessel design and whole-system engineering is working to future-proof ferries as technology and infrastructure evolve.

Chartwell Marine is expanding its work in the fast passenger ferry market, drawing best practice from CTV design. Its low-wake ferry hullform is a direct response to how electrification has fundamentally changed vessel design.

Salmon Marine’s Wavebreaker dynamic ballast system, originally conceived for offshore racing powerboats, has evolved into a design solution for reducing vertical accelerations experienced by crew and passengers operating at speed.

Delivering maritime fuel cells that can drive deepsea shipping is not only within reach but is inevitable according to some.

Maritime wings are taking off! The latest design from Alfa Laval and Wallenius Marine is promising to make wind the primary source of vessel power.

Solar power has finally found its way onto ships. Slow uptake of solar energy is seen as surprising. Coastal shipping is showing that solar can improve efficiencies.

The number of floating LNG projects are increasing fast. Today’s liquefaction capacity is forecast to more than treble from 16 million to 55 million tonnes by 2040.
