Singapore | Date TBC
Achieving significant reductions in fuel consumption, maintenance costs and emissions
In recent years the maritime industry has seen an increasing interest in the development of hybrid-electric vessels. Vessel owners and operators have started exploring the full potential of electric propulsion and how the technology could save fuel, lower emissions and reduce maintenance costs.
This two-day conference will provide attendees with a solid understanding of the technologies involved and how vessel owners and operators can benefit from its use in a number of maritime applications. Discussions will focus on how Asia is currently making inroads into developing and using hybrid-electric technologies.
Riviera has led the maritime industry by being one of the very first organisations to launch a maritime hybrid-electric conference in Bergen Norway in September of 2019. Riviera will now bring its experience to Asia where companies will benefit significantly from the case studies and the technical content that has already proven to be a great success.
Please see below the highlights video from our September 2019 conference in Bergen, Norway.
Programme Highlights:
- The business case for hybrid and electric systems in Asia
- Understanding the demand for hybrid-electric vessels in Asia
- Norway’s Green Shipping Programme – lessons learnt for Asia and the rest of the world
- Understanding the potential of modular and scalable marine battery systems
- Design optimisation: managing risk when using hydrogen storage and fuel cell systems
- Renewable hydrogen hubs
- Methanol fuel cell hybrid applications for auxiliary power
- How hybrid and electric solutions could be used for the next generation of AHTS design
- Safety: managing crew and operational risks
- Experience with battery hybrid applications
- Electric and hybrid solutions for autonomous vessels
- Battery hybrid application for bunkering vessels
- Lessons learnt from Asia’s first hybrid-electric ferry
- The future outlook – how can Asia advance adoption of hybrid-electric technologies
This conference will demystify how hybrid and electric technologies benefits maritime operations. Industry leaders will make transparent the costs involved and the efficiencies that are realistically attainable.
