The growth in maritime electrification has been remarkable, with the global fleet of battery-equipped vessels increasing from seven in 2009 to almost 1,000 in 2024. Norwegian owners have played a significant role in this development, leading in incorporating batteries into their fleets and pioneering the use of fuel cells and alternative fuels like LNG and liquid hydrogen. Norway, particularly Bergen, will host Riviera's Maritime Hybrid, Electric and Hydrogen Fuel Cells Conference in October 2024, bringing industry experts together to discuss reducing emissions and promoting sustainable shipping operations. Sessions at the conference will cover topics such as hydrogen fuel-cell technology, battery design, ammonia and methanol cells, and financial hurdles in adopting new technologies. Notably, the conference will feature a ship visit to the Port of Bergen, showcasing eco-friendly vessels like the Havila Pollux cruise ship. The Port of Bergen itself is already equipped with Europe's largest shore power facility, aligning with the upcoming regulatory requirements for ships to connect to shore power when docking. With an emphasis on green maritime policy and the transition to electric and hydrogen-powered vessels, the conference aims to drive further innovation and sustainability in the maritime industry.
