Electric & Hybrid Marine Technology International ’s Post

Excited about the small steps we’re taking towards a greener future with innovations like BAR Technologies’ WindWings 🌿🌊. It’s a gentle reminder of how ancient wisdom, powered by modern tech, can lead to significant reductions in fuel consumption and GHG emissions. Embracing wind power is not just smart; it’s a necessity. Here’s to making a difference, one sail at a time 🚢💚.

Shore power is an option of availiable technology to contribute on shipping GHG reduction while ships are on berth. This is specially helpful when the grid energy source is green like, wind, solar, hydro or bio, as in Brazil. Of course port infrastructure and ships will need to be adapted, with proper standards and requirements in place….

HYDROGEN: Lloyd's Register to class Torghatten Nord AS’s two hydrogen-powered ferries for Arctic sailings Lloyd’s Register (LR) is set to class two #hydrogen-powered passenger ferries ordered by Norwegian transportation company Torghatten Nord. Nicholas Brown, CEO of LR, said, “These flagship hydrogen-powered ferries represent a significant milestone for #Norway as it furthers its continuing commitment to clean hydrogen infrastructure." Marius Hansen, managing director of Torghatten Nord, commented, “This project is a significant boost for the Norwegian technology and shipyard environment and we are proud to make it happen in Norway.” Leiv Sindre Muren, CEO of Myklebust Verft AS, added, “We are delighted that Myklebust Verft has been selected to build these innovative, large-scale hydrogen-powered ferries.” Alf Tore Sørheim, acting director general of shipping and navigation of the Norwegian Maritime Authority, stated, “The Norwegian Maritime Authority is pleased to see Norwegian shipping companies taking responsibility and driving forward new technologies for reducing emissions.” Gjermund Johannessen, CEO of The Norwegian Ship Design Company, explained, “We have developed a unique hydrogen concept using hydrogen’s physical properties to achieve optimal safety.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewa7JD7w #Marine #Maritime #Electrification #Decarbonization #Sustainability #Environment #Technology #Transportation #EHMExpo #EHMXNA

#Singapore's maritime industry is steering towards #decarbonization, highlighted by the Maritime and Port Authority's recent launch of a pilot for electric harbor craft charging points at Marina South Pier. This initiative, alongside the electric vessel X Tron by Pyxis, symbolizes a significant step towards reducing emissions. In the space of #electrification and #maritime decarbonization, it's inspiring to see parallel paths towards #sustainability and explore how these initiatives complement our work and the broader decarbonization mission. #AsiaPacific #energy

Candela, the 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬, has been selected to supply its P-12 electric hydrofoil ships for 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐌, 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚's futuristic megacity project. 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐌 has placed its largest-ever order with Candela, procuring an initial fleet of 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬. The P-12, hailed as the 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥, offers zero-emission water transport with advanced energy efficiency and rapid passenger commutes. These vessels, set to debut in 2025-2026, promise to revolutionize water travel by using 80% less energy than conventional ships and significantly reducing carbon emissions. 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚’𝐬 𝐏-𝟏𝟐 will play a pivotal role in creating a sustainable water network for 𝐍𝐄𝐎𝐌, aligning with the project’s vision of a greener future. #Candela #Hydrofoil #ElectricBoats #NEOM #SustainableTransport #Megacity #ZeroEmissions #GreenTechnology #P12Vessels #SaudiArabia #FutureOfTransport #EcoFriendly #Innovation NC: Offshore Energy

With climate crisis causing serious disruptions ang leading to new carbon taxes a pressing need immerges for sustainable fuels for vessels and ships. Biodiesel, as a short-term solution, as well as green methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen are the fuels of the future. Vessel conversions is the step forward needed to meet the long-term strategic goals for the green transition!

VPS to organise Maress Decarbonisation Campaign in 2024 Campaign builds on its success last year where crews on 133 vessels worldwide from eight companies joined forces, collectively slashing nearly 11,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in just two months. https://lnkd.in/gjYnf2vA #bunkers #bunkering #maritime #shipping #marinefuel #marinefuels #bunkerindustry #bunkerfuel #imo2030 #imo2050 #sustainable #decarbonisation #decarbonization #marine #emissions #zeroemission #zeroemissions #maritimenews #maritimeindustry #maritimetransport #maritimesector #maritimeservices #shippingnews #shippingindustry #shipsandshipping #shippingworldwide
