Workboats are at the forefront of maritime electrification, with offshore support vessels and tugboats leading the way in adopting hybrid and fully electric solutions. This session will explore the latest advances in battery technology for offshore and harbor applications, providing insights into system sizing, operational benefits and real-world case studies. In the Americas, offshore support vessels are rapidly embracing battery technology to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. Meanwhile, North American tugboats are proving the viability of electric propulsion, with the first fully electric tugs now in operation. As technology advances, electrification is becoming increasingly relevant for workboat applications.
