Decarbonizing shipping is one of the greatest challenges facing the maritime industry today. While much of the debate has focused on alternative fuels, the truth is that the future fleet will also require far more efficient and flexible energy systems.
Erlend Bertheussen has stepped into the role of project coordinator for the EU-funded STEESMAT project. With a PhD and extensive international experience in green fuels and energy systems, he now leads the effort to develop next-generation power solutions for large vessels
Nor-Shipping gathered key maritime players from all over the world in Oslo, Norway, this June. As industry pushed towards cleaner, smarter shipping, STEESMAT was a natural part of this year's programme.
STEESMAT consortium gathered in Copenhagen for its first interface workshop — a key step in aligning technical development across the project’s wide-ranging partners.
On Energy House Day this April, the STEESMAT project took the stage to present how direct current (DC) systems can shape the future of maritime energy.
Today’s shipping fleet is responsible for significant emissions and relies on heavy power systems that are not designed for renewable energy. With €7.8 million in EU funding, Maritime CleanTech and partners will create a power system fit for the future fleet.
