Let's talk about battery safety: The IMO is targeting 2028 for interim battery safety guidelines, but megawatt-scale systems are already powering ferries, tugs, workboats, and subsea vehicles. Where it stands today, what new tech is coming, and how the industry is managing risks without putting the brakes on innovation. Through real examples and hands-on experience, we'll get into what's working, what isn't, and whether we're all moving forward together or heading down very different roads. What are the biggest risks in battery safety in maritime today? How has battery safety evolved in the last year, and what is coming next? What engineering controls actually work? Examples and case studies: new materials, new technologies What actually fails in marine battery systems? Is the market collaborating on safety, or is each player following its own path? Where's the gap between certification and operation? Panelists Marco Ottiker, COO & Co- founder EPTechonologies Maciej Kwiatkowski Technical Expert Ampros Marcus Kreisel, Kreisel Electric
