From AC to DC – Europe invests in next-generation ship power systems
Two Horizon Europe projects are joining forces to help prepare direct-current (DC) ship power systems for commercial deployment. Next stop: SMM Hamburg.
STEESMAT gathered in Prague to shape the future of maritime power systems
The STEESMAT consortium came together this week at the Eaton European Innovation Center (EEIC) in Roztoky, Prague, for the project’s 2026 General Assembly.
Preparing for STEESMAT system demonstration in Energy House
Starting in 2027, the core components of the STEESMAT power system will be integrated, tested and verified in Energy House. The test planning is now well underway.
New publication advances DC hybrid power systems for passenger vessels
A new peer-reviewed publication demonstrates how DC-based hybrid power systems and intelligent onboard energy management can enable zero-emission operation of high-speed passenger vessels – one of the most technically demanding segments in maritime transport.
STEESMAT: Pioneering power systems for the maritime green transition
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.
New Blueprint for Full-Scale Demonstration of Innovative Power System for Ships
STEESMAT hits its first major milestone with the delivery of the System Definition & Characterisation Report.
New Project Coordinator Takes the Helm in STEESMAT
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
STEESMAT charged up Nor-Shipping
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 partners align on system integration at Copenhagen workshop
STEESMAT consortium gathered in Copenhagen for its first interface workshop — a key step in aligning technical development across the project’s wide-ranging partners.
STEESMAT Showcases Future Maritime Power at Energy House Day
