Battery Hybrids & Full-Electric Vessels

Composite boat manufacturer Fassmer and Torqeedo have teamed up to create a fully electric ferry concept for public transport.

Rolls-Royce and Sea Machines Robotics have teamed up to deliver remote command, autonomous control and intelligent crew support systems to the marine market.

Maritime industry firms have secured funding from the UK government to develop new power and propulsion technologies for London, with the potential to reduce emissions across global waterways.

A supercapacitor can run in parallel with a battery, without the need for sophisticated power electronics, but this potential simplicity doesn’t necessarily transfer to the modelling required to estimate payback time.

EST-Floattech has released a new DNV-certified battery management system for the marine market.

Wärtsilä has developed and delivered a mobile battery container solution that will enable inland waterway vessels to operate with zero emissions.

Production of the next generation of supercapacitors could begin as soon as 2023, Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann, VP Automotive and Business Development tells The Motorship in a feature on the energy efficiency technology…
