Bloom Energy and Samsung Heavy Industries announced a collaboration to design and develop ships powered by Bloom Energy's solid oxide fuel cell technology.

The world's largest all-electric ferry, named E-ferry Ellen, made its first commercial trip connecting the ports of Søby and Fynshav, on the islands of Aerø and Als, in southern Denmark.

The technology group Wärtsilä is to provide hybrid propulsion capability for a new offshore wind construction support vessel. The 'Acta Centaurus', a DP2 walk-to-work construction support vessel owned by Netherlands-based Acta Marine, will thus gain fuel consumption and environmental benefits through being able to operate the vessel with less running engines at more optimised load.

Ports of Auckland has signed a contract with Dutch company Damen Shipyards to buy the world's first full-size, fully electric port tug.

BAE Systems has successfully completed a series of trials on a 'first of its kind' autonomous boat that will allow navies to go beyond the limits of human endurance with unmanned vessels that can travel further, for longer and to more inhospitable environments.

Technology Analyst Luke Gear presents his findings from the Electric and Hybrid Marine conference held in Amsterdam.

A significant source of CO2 and other pollutants, global shipping has come under the spotlight lately thanks to increased pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from various sectors.

The city of Amsterdam envisions a future where fleets of autonomous boats cruise its many canals to transport goods and people, collect trash, or self-assemble into floating stages and bridges.

Why new CO2 targets and global sulphur limitations will be a win for battery demand in ships.
