A unique programme of three specialist events for the sub IMO / sub 24 metre professional sector is being held ‘back to back’ at the Grand Harbour in Southampton UK this October. The fast moving one day workshop style programme brings together an international group of experts armed with the latest knowledge to identify problems that affect the maritime sector worldwide – and highlight potential solutions!
The HYBRID MARINE POWER Workshop on 27 October 2016 will be particularly relevant to the wind farm support and workboat sectors, especially operators in the growing number of green ports. The hybrid workshop day focuses on innovative power and propulsion, particularly for sub 24 metre vessels. As the objective is to identify efficiency by all means, modular and scalable hybrid concepts are also relevant to larger vessels including Offshore Supply, Crew Transfer and Patrol Vessels
Professional maritime sectors cannot afford the luxury of going green for the sake of it. New hybrid solutions could reduce fuel and maintenance costs for many operators, other commercial drivers include emission laws. Hybrid diesel – battery – electric systems enable vessels to leave the dock in silence before first light on zero emissions, and loiter with main engines off for extended periods during the day..
