This unique one-day course is designed to be relevant to all stakeholders involved in marine energy. From commercial and military organisations to leisure marine, this practical approach can help to support fact based decisions. Topics are applicable to original equipment manufacturers, distributors, boat builders, refit yards, engineers, naval architects, ports and marinas.
NEXT GEN Training Lead, John Haynes, comments: “We developed NEXT GEN Marine ENERGY in response to the need for simple, concise information that enables decision makers to plan for energy in a changing world. Launched in 2022 and constantly evolving, this cutting-edge course has worked really well for significant maritime organisations. Our focus is on viable technology available now or in the near future”.
The aim is to provide awareness of realistic energy opportunities balanced with the challenges of decarbonising, from single vessels to fleets. Focussed on sub 24m vessels, this knowledge is increasingly relevant for vessels in the 25m to 100m range – plus the ports and harbours they operate from.
John Haynes added, “When groups of maritime professionals get together, their shared experiences benefit everyone. Discussions are an important part of all our sessions and we really like the hard questions! It is great to be running courses in person again and the Grand Harbour is a superb location”.
Session 1: OVERVIEW of Marine Power & Propulsion
- Understanding how energy is evolving differently for boats versus ships
- Why internal combustion engines suit the dynamic maritime workplace
- How we can move from diesel and petrol to alternative cleaner fuels
- Which UK & EC & international energy standards are really relevant
- Clarifying the aims for marine transport in different sectors.
Session 2: NEXT GENERATION Energy Opportunities & Challenges
- How do we re-power our boat and fast craft fleets in a changing world?
- The pros and cons of 100% Battery-Electric. Charging and battery safety
- What parameters affect 100% Battery-Electric adoption in ports and at sea?
- Why Lithium-ion is dominant, and what can we expect in the near future
- Parallel or Series Hybrid – mechanical-led or electrical-led solutions?
Session 3: EMERGING TECHNOLOGY Timelines & Viability for Sub 24m
- Hydrogen as an energy carrier for fuel cell / H2 as dual fuel in ICE / methanol & ammonia
- Regional availability of alternatives / fuel & energy security / green corridors.
- How politics and energy instability are accelerating change for marine operators and ports
- Why infrastructure and energy system Technology Readiness Levels are behind vessel TRLs
- Timelines and next steps / What can we specify now, by 2025 and between 2025 and 2030?
