Ensuring efficiency and safety in electric vessels

As a result of ambitious climate targets and the need for more sustainable transport solutions in cities around the world the number of electric ferries and fast ferries is expected to grow rapidly in the years to come. Developments within battery technology have been vast within recent years, and ensuring efficiency and safety are key parts of the development work.

The TrAM H2020 project invites you to a public webinar where maritime industry actors share knowledge and experiences from European innovation projects related to electric vessels. We will also get an introduction to the new rules for the use of batteries in maritime applications taking effect from July 1st this summer.

Please register for the event, a link to the webinar will be provided.
