CharIN officially launch new Task Force Marine

Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN) e. V. Hall: . Stand: E528
CharIN officially launch new Task Force Marine

At this year's Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam, CharIN officially launched its new Task Force Marine—expanding its Megawatt Charging System (MCS) expertise into the maritime sector. The launch event convened key maritime and energy stakeholders to explore how high-power, interoperable charging systems can support electric vessels and port infrastructure. The next Task Force meeting is September 4, 2025, at 6 am CET and is open to all companies.

Building on momentum from the MCS Controller Testival held in Barcelona earlier this year—where cross-platform testing validated key requirements for high-power charging—CharIN will now apply similar lessons to the marine environment. The Task Force aims to define MCS-compatible shore power solutions and extend interoperability standards to diverse vessel types and port-side equipment.

According to CharIN North America Executive Director, Erika Myers, "CharIN looks forward to participating in the 2025 Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Chicago to share information about the benefits of using the Megawatt Charging System for maritime applications. Please join us at our booth space 528 and at the conference panel session, The future of maritime charging using the Megawatt Charging System, for more information."

CharIN's work will draw on insights from the U.S.-funded MCS Vessels Project with Crowley, Black & Veatch, and ABS. As demand grows for sustainable maritime transport, Task Force Marine will play a critical role in aligning stakeholders, shaping standards, and accelerating global deployment of electrified marine infrastructure.
