Through our Trans-Atlantic partnership, Washington Maritime Blue and Maritime CleanTech, collaborate on find finding sustainable solutions for marine operations.

At Nor-Shipping, we finally meet again and invite to a dialogue on the state-of-art on development of zero-emission fast ferries. Cities around the world have an ever-increasing demand for more sustainable solutions for passenger transport, and many of them are close to sea and waterways, making zero-emission passenger vessels the future norm. A vast market waits to take on these technologies as soon as they are available and proven.

Meet frontrunners from leading zero-emission projects, participating in a joint dialogue on technology possibilities:

• Erlend Hovland, CTO, Norled
• Ron Willie, President and COO, All American
• Jennifer States, VP Projects and Strategy, Washington Maritime Blue
• Andreas Prinz, Project Manager, Servogear
• Håvard Tvedte, Head of Communication, Maritime CleanTech/TrAM project

Norled is Norway’s leading operator of express boats. Recently Norled announced a battery swap concept for electric express boats that can accelerate emission cuts for fast ferries.

All American Marine has built many hybrid and electric ferries and recently launched the first hydrogen ferry.

Washington Maritime Blue has been leading a Joint Innovation Program with partners Glosten, Bieker Boats, Kitsap Transit, DNV and local public ports and utilities to bring modern composite hydrofoil technology to the passenger vessel community, allowing for all-electric or hydrogen propulsion.

Servogear is a leading manufacturer of propeller systems for high-speed workboats, fast ferries, offshore vessels and yachts.
