This presentation peels back the curtain and offers a candid look at the current state of vessel electrification in America – what’s working, what’s not, and where we’re headed. It will explore trends indicating that nearly every new vessel under development now includes emissions reduction strategies or alternative fuels. With many vessels operating well past their intended service lives, fleet renewal is no longer optional. Futureproofing has become essential – and achievable. The presentation will also highlight the critical connections that make these projects possible – between vessel designers and shoreside integrators, propulsion providers, municipalities, utilities and regulatory authorities. It will wrap-up with some innovative directives to propel the industry forward.
