The objective is to identify a range of genuine solutions for workboats, pilot boats, wind farm support vessels, survey vessels, scientific research craft, fishing vessels, superyachts, military craft and unmanned vessels.

Attendees include commercial and military end-user organisations, boat builders, engine manufacturers, mechanical and electrical engineers, naval architects and legislators. This fast moving knowledge and networking event focuses on the latest onboard energy solutions for vessels of all sizes.

Workshop sessions focus on informal discussion and industry experience from subject matter experts including Lloyds Register and DNV-GL. A relevant topic is high energy battery installations, including Lithium-ion. Hybrid sessions focus on simple and viable business cases for next generation vessels of all sizes including The Hour Of Power concept. This is not just green energy for the sake of it as presenters highlight how fuel can be saved, maintenance costs reduced and engine life extended.

Lead supporters of the event are Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute, British Marine, BAE Systems HybriDrive and US lithium ion battery manufacturer XALT Energy. Robert Young, Marine Technical Lead of XALT Energy, will show the viability of fast emerging technologies in a session titled, 'The footprint, weight and cost benefits of marine Lithium-ion battery systems.’

Boat builders and specialist component manufacturers now recognise that they need to work together to develop next generation systems that fit the changing requirements of modern fleets. The unique knowledge gained from these workshop sessions will help to shape long term decisions that lead to improvements for in-service systems and procurement of next generation vessels.

The fast moving ‘knowledge & networking’ day focuses on:

• Next generation power and energy storage
• Lithium Ion and high energy battery systems
• Naval architecture and systems integration
• Safety and electrical engineering standards
• Maritime battery system guidance and rules
• Hybrid for professional & military vessels
• Learning from hybrid automotive and aviation
• Developing The Hour Of Power concept  

The cost to attend the one day Workshop is:

£195 per person - including lunch and refreshments.

£165 for British Marine and RINA members.

£100 for Military & government personnel.
