Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have driven energy prices sharply upward, further pushing the global transition away from fossil fuels. Across industries, this shift is becoming increasingly urgent – and in the maritime sector, it is reinforcing the business case for electrification. As fuel costs rise and emissions regulations tighten, electrification is reshaping…
Large fully electric ferries are no longer a concept – they are already operating in real-world conditions. The real question is how to make them comparably efficient, safe and reliable. The pace at which electric ferries are moving from niche to scale is remarkable. The market is already worth several billion dollars and is expected…
Electrification is steadily reshaping ship power systems across the maritime industry. From battery-powered ferries and hybrid offshore vessels to large container ships using shaft generators and power take-off systems, electrical machines are becoming a central part of modern vessel design. However, the engineering challenges behind electrification can vary significantly depending on vessel size and operating…
Imagine that your electric machine no longer meets your needs. Perhaps performance requirements changed, vibrations suddenly appeared during operation or another practical challenge emerged. Situations like these are where innovation often begins. For engineers, solving such problems is part of everyday work – but how they approach them can vary from company to company. At…
