In this article, IDTechEx summarizes the leading battery suppliers underpinning the industry.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-boats-and-ships-five-key-battery-suppliers/24200?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-boats-and-ships-five-key-battery-suppliers/24200?rsst2id=73Wed, 07 Jul 2021 ZZZl.gear@IDTechEx.com (Luke Gear) This article highlights some of the key challenges remaining to bring electric leisure boats into the mainstream which are covered in more detail in the popular report "Electric Leisure & Sea-going Boats and Ships 2021-2040" recently updated by IDTechEx.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-challenges-ahead-for-electric-leisure-boating/20589?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-challenges-ahead-for-electric-leisure-boating/20589?rsst2id=73Tue, 05 May 2020 ZZZl.gear@IDTechEx.com (Luke Gear) In 2020 vessel owners have had to deal with an 'emissions control world' for the first time. Unlike most other mobility sectors, which predominantly tend to switch partly or completely to a traction battery in order to meet emissions targets, a mixture of solutions have a role to play for boats and ships.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-batteries-are-essential-for-the-maritime-sector/20262?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-batteries-are-essential-for-the-maritime-sector/20262?rsst2id=73Fri, 27 Mar 2020 ZZZl.gear@IDTechEx.com (Luke Gear) IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 7 February titled The Transition to Electric and Hybrid Boats and Ships: Markets and Drivers.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/webinar-thursday-7-february-transition-to-electric-and-hybrid-boats/16379?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/webinar-thursday-7-february-transition-to-electric-and-hybrid-boats/16379?rsst2id=73Thu, 24 Jan 2019 ZZZa.garrington@idtechex.com (Annick Garrington) IDTechEx is one of the few market and technical research companies following marine electrification as part of its wider electric vehicle research -- and it is a segment quietly undergoing a transformation. The marine industry makes significant contributions to global pollution (particularly ocean-going vessels), often out of the spotlight. But in the past decade, regulations that have first focused on restricting particulates emissions, and more recently carbon emissions, are driving change.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-silent-transformation-of-maritime-transport/15733?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/the-silent-transformation-of-maritime-transport/15733?rsst2id=73Fri, 02 Nov 2018 ZZZl.gear@IDTechEx.com (Luke Gear) The marine industry is at a turning point: vessel owners and operators are increasingly attracted to the value proposition of installing a battery system. Electrification is gaining momentum. Here's why.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-the-times-are-a-changin-in-marine-electrification/15140?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/why-the-times-are-a-changin-in-marine-electrification/15140?rsst2id=73Fri, 17 Aug 2018 ZZZl.gear@IDTechEx.com (Luke Gear) There is more energy to harvest at sea. True, water craft have stronger resistance to overcome but on balance, it means that energy independent electric boats are more common than their equivalents on land or in the air and they have lessons for both.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/energy-independent-electric-boats-and-ships-lead-the-way/11531?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/energy-independent-electric-boats-and-ships-lead-the-way/11531?rsst2id=73Tue, 15 Aug 2017 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) It is now becoming clear that the appalling emissions from ships that cause global warming and local injuries can be virtually eliminated.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/ship-energy-independence-from-multimode-energy-harvesting/11495?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/ship-energy-independence-from-multimode-energy-harvesting/11495?rsst2id=73Wed, 09 Aug 2017 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) Analysts at IDTechEx have issued a new report, Electric Boats and Ships 2017-2027 looking at this fragmented but often highly profitable and growing sector.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-boats-and-ships-2017-2027-large-market-emerging/10468?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/electric-boats-and-ships-2017-2027-large-market-emerging/10468?rsst2id=73Fri, 13 Jan 2017 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) To its manufacturer MOST (Autonomous Vessels) Ltd in the UK, USV means controlled by satellite from anywhere on the planet. AutoNaut is the answer to the age-old challenge of affordable oceanic data gathering for science, commerce and military purposes.

Electric land vehicles, boats, underwater craft and aircraft already exist that never plug in or refuel.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/progress-towards-vehicles-that-could-run-forever/8494?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/progress-towards-vehicles-that-could-run-forever/8494?rsst2id=73Fri, 02 Oct 2015 ZZZf.gonzalez@IDTechEx.com (Franco Gonzalez) Water-borne electric vehicles are much more than 100 year old river boats, toy boats on ponds and tiny trolling outboards for leisure fishing. The rapidly increasing military, commercial and industrial applications now dwarf leisure applications in value and sophistication.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/rapid-progress-of-electric-boats-and-other-craft/6768?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/rapid-progress-of-electric-boats-and-other-craft/6768?rsst2id=73Mon, 04 Aug 2014 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop) The new IDTechEx report, Electric Boats, Small Submarines and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) 2014-2024 reveals the market for electric water craft, including those on and under water, will increase from $2.6 billion to $7.3 billion in 2024.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/idtechex-reveal-largest-sector-for-marine-electric-vehicles/6231?rsst2id=73https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/idtechex-reveal-largest-sector-for-marine-electric-vehicles/6231?rsst2id=73Fri, 07 Feb 2014 ZZZp.harrop@IDTechEx.com (Dr Peter Harrop)
