Batteries are a pivotal technology in the decarbonization of the marine industry. At this conference, ship operators have shared compelling insights into the benefits of integrating battery systems into their fleet plans. In this panel, we will delve into the current and future landscape of battery technologies in the marine sector. To fully harness the advantages of battery integration in vessel propulsion systems, it is crucial to have systems integrators who can tailor the technology to specific vessel operational profiles. We are honoured to have an industry leader in vessel design and marine electrification and hybridization systems integration to share their expertise on this topic. Regulatory requirements are a key consideration, and we will explore the safety rules for battery systems in vessels with insights from a leading Classification society. Additionally, the Maritime Battery Forum will provide a comprehensive overview of the marine industry's adoption of these technologies and future developments.
