Hybrid Marine Power - Energy Transition Consultancy

Next Generation Marine Power & Propulsion - WORKSHOP DAY: Thurs 28 April 2016

The Workshop day will focus on ‘The Hour Of Power’ and next generation battery technology.

The Workshop day will examine innovative hybrid solutions to enhance conventional propulsion systems.

The objective is to identify commercially viable solutions whereby vessels can reduce emissions and improve fuel consumption whilst extending engine maintenance periods and engine life.

The Hour Of Power concept enables vessels to run in and out of port for an hour on electric with battery power, then carry out their open sea work on diesel power.
