Part of the overall three day conference, the workshop will feature presenters explaining how fuel can be saved, maintenance costs reduced and engine life extended. Fast moving sessions will focus on informal discussion and industry experience from experts such as Lloyds Register and DNV GL.<\/p>\n
A highlight will be the \u2018Hour of Power\u2019 concept which enables vessels to run in and out of port for an hour using battery power alone. Presenters will also discuss high energy battery installations, including Lithium-ion and the latest MCA Marine Guidance note.<\/p>\n
Conference organiser, John Haynes, said: \u201cIt is great to have US Lithium-ion battery manufacturer XALT Energy and BAE Systems HybriDrive on board, as their extensive expertise highlights the next generation electric, battery and hybrid technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not just green energy for the sake of it. Hybrid is now a viable option and we are focussing on simple and viable business cases for the next generation vessels of all sizes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The conference brings together international experts to highlight the potential use of innovative power and propulsion systems. The aim is to identify a range of solution for workboats, pilot boats, wind farm support vessels, survey vessels, scientific research craft, fishing vessels, superyachts, patrol craft, military and unmanned craft.<\/p>\n
In attendance will be 20 speakers covering three phases: \u2018Here and Now Technology\u2019, \u2018Next Generation Systems\u2019, and \u2018Innovation and Future Possibilities\u2019.<\/p>\n
The second conference day ends with a guided tour of the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute facility located at the new \u00a3140m Boldrewood Innovation Campus at Southampton University.<\/p>\n
Next Generation runs from 26-28 April at the Grand Harbour Hotel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
