Ferry and Passenger Vessel electrification
As the demand for cleaner, more efficient ferry operations grows, operators face a critical decision: retrofit existing vessels with hybrid propulsion systems or invest in building new ones? With funding becoming increasingly limited and project timelines often complex and lengthy, this session examines the key factors that should inform this decision. Attendees will gain insights into the technical, financial and operational considerations that influence whether to modernize current assets or start fresh with new-builds. Attend to gain a deeper understanding of how to chart a sustainable and strategic course forward.
