The ABS has awarded a product design assessment to Fleetzero for its Leviathan™ Battery Energy Storage System, the first U.S.-manufactured lithium iron phosphate marine battery to receive classification approval. This marks a key step towards verifying its suitability for marine applications and supporting future projects demanding certified battery technology.
As battery technology advances, the maritime industry is embracing hybrid and electric solutions. Fleetzero and Glosten are collaborating to design the world’s longest-range hybrid electric vessel. Retrofitting a Lightering Support Vessel, it will operate primarily on battery power, marking a significant milestone for cleaner maritime operations. Construction begins in mid-2026.
AET partners with Fleetzero to develop the world’s longest-range plug-in hybrid-electric vessel. By retrofitting one of AET’s Lightering Support Vessels with a plug-in hybrid-electric system, greenhouse gas emissions are expected to decrease by 82%. This initiative aims to reduce fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and uphold high safety standards in the maritime industry.
