This unique one day course is designed to be relevant to all stakeholders involved in energy transition. This includes professional, commercial and military organisations. It is also applicable to original equipment manufacturers, distributors, boat builders, refit yards, engineers, naval architects, ports and marinas.

The aim is to provide awareness of changing energy requirements and 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.

Session 1: OVERVIEW of Marine Power & Propulsion

• Understanding how energy is evolving differently for fast craft and workboats versus ships.
• Modified ICE / How can we move from Diesel and Petrol to alternative cleaner fuels?
• Why internal combustion engines suit the dynamic maritime workplace.
• UK & EC & international standards linked to energy compliance. 
• Understanding the aims and objectives for marine transport. How different sectors are affected.

Session 2: NEXT GENERATION Energy Opportunities & Challenges

• How do we re-power our boat and fast craft fleets in a changing world?
• 100% Battery-Electric - pros and cons / Onshore charging / 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 / 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 & Next Steps / What can we specify now - by 2025 - between 2025 and 2030.
