Over two days, partners from across Europe have worked together on:
⚡ SST and DC technologies for future maritime energy systems
⚡ Energy House testing and demonstration planning
⚡ Marine certification and system validation
⚡ KPIs for efficiency, emissions, and more
After nearly one and a half years of innovation and collaboration in STEESMAT, the General Assembly provided a valuable occasion to review technical progress and align on next steps.
“As STEESMAT moves further into testing and closer to demonstration activities, these face-to-face meetings become even more valuable. They help align technical work across the consortium and strengthen collaboration between industry, research, and maritime stakeholders,” said Erlend Bertheussen, Project Coordinator from Maritime CleanTech.
Hosted by Eaton, the meeting also included a tour of the EEIC and insights into their ongoing R&D work in electrification and DC solutions.
A big thank you to our hosts, and to all partners for contributing to the collaboration and discussions throughout the meeting!

About STEESMAT
Smart Transformer for Enhanced Efficiency and Sustainability in Maritime Transportation (STEESMAT) is a 42-month Horizon Europe Innovation Action focused on advancing energy systems for large vessels. The project introduces a new onboard Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) grid built around solid-state transformer (SST) technology, designed to improve efficiency and support the integration of low- and zero-emission energy sources.
