Scandlines has christened their newest hybrid ferry, the M/V Berlin. The new hybrid ferry will join the world's largest fleet of hybrid ferries, utilizing a low emission and fuel saving diesel electric hybrid propulsion system powered by a Corvus Energy ESS

GE announced that it will provide Peruvian Navy with key technologies for its first-ever diesel electric propelled vessel to meet stringent technical demands, including strict low-noise requirements for research vessels. The vessel is being built in Vigo at the Freire Shipyard that specializes in building research vessels . Once ready, this vessel will be used by the Peruvian Navy to carry out research in the Polar Regions.

Renewable energy propulsion specialist, REAPsystems is pioneering a clean, green 'drop-in' Hybrid technology in Venice 'water taxis' this summer. Venice, a UNESCO World Heritage city, has approximately 20,000 leisure craft and 550 taxi boats serving some 32m visitors every year. All are currently diesel-powered meaning Venice suffers from high levels of air and noise pollution which affects the water, architecture and health of both residents and tourists alike.

ABB will supply the power system for a hybrid car ferry serving an important passenger route in Norway. Designed with flexibility in mind, the vessel will run as a hybrid but can be modified to run as a full electric ferry with shore charging system. The order is another success for ABB in northern Europe, where regulation is causing passenger ship operators to look at green solutions.

Since the stricter sulphur limit of 0.10% m/m was implemented in the ECAs from 1 January 2015, options available to ship owners and operators have been the use of marine gas oil or distillates, heavy fuel oil in combination with scrubbers, LNG or alternative fuels such as biofuels.

Corvus Energy has announced a multi-year agreement with LG Chem Ltd. (LG Chem). Under this agreement, LG Chem, manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, will be a key supplier of lithium-ion pouch cells for Corvus' next generation maritime energy storage systems

The first of a series of three ASD TUGs 2810 Hybrid was navigated into the Den Helder harbour by the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) . This hybrid tug that bears the name Noordzee is almost 29 meters long and is the first standard hybrid tug supplied by Damen that the RNLN will employ.

ABB will provide the technology to power a futuristic hybrid ferry on Norwegian Fjords . The vessel’s concept has been named Seasight by the shipbuilder Brødrene Aa.

 Corvus Energy announced the closing of a strategic investment from Statoil Technology Invest to foster development of advanced lithium ion battery technology for the Offshore Oil & Gas industry. Company says that vessels and equipment hybridized or fully electrified with the Corvus ESS, consume less fuel, operate more efficiently and effectively, and emit substantially less greenhouse gases.“We are building on our success in the offshore supply and service market where we have successfully demonstrated our technology is perfectly suited to the sector’s stringent performance, safety and operational requirements. Offshore supply vessels like the Viking Lady OSV and Edda Ferd PSV that employ the Corvus ESS are field-tested and proven to meet and exceed performance and safety expectations. These vessels run at peak efficiency for longer periods of time, saving fuel and maintenance costs and dramatically reducing emissions, “says Andrew Morden, President & CEO of Corvus Energy.''And now, with the release of new Class Rules pertaining to both Batteries and Dynamic Positioning (DP), Corvus’s ESS system will further enable the reduction in both the size and number of generator sets in vessels with DP operations. Vessels can operate more efficiently and consume far less fuel which is ultimately far better for our ...

Mr. Nobu SU, Chairman of Today Makes Tomorrow Group (TMT) successfully registered a patent in Singapore for Hybrid Ship, a hybrid technology that enables a variety of vessels, including bulk carriers, tankers, PCTC and LNG ships to enhance fuel efficiency.The innovation consists of a conventionally driven main propeller and an electrically driven duct propeller; the combination allows for reduced fuel consumption, particularly when a vessel is travelling with minimum ballast.The Intellectual Property Office of Singapore granted the patent on August 28, 2015. A patent was also granted by the Liberia Industrial Property Office back in January 13, 2014 for a period of 20 years. Several patents will continue to be pursued by Mr. SU and his partners, who made filings with 25 shipping nations in total.In respect of the latest patent registration, Mr. SU said,"I trust that as more patent offices register Hybrid Ship, the technology will be more readily adopted, which will help tackle problems associated with the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens through ballast water. Such a transfer has already seen the Pacific saury affected - a species found in the subarctic and subtropical North Pacific that is regularly harvested by Chinese, Japanese and Russian fishermen. ...
