The maritime industry is evolving rapidly, with SMM 2026 showcasing revolutionary technologies. Electrification and new energy solutions are at the forefront, emphasizing emission reductions. Innovations like EPTechnologies’ solid-state batteries and advanced sail systems from firms like Beyond the Sea signal a paradigm shift towards efficiency and sustainability in shipping operations.
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.
EVE Energy and Green Whale Technology (GWT) have partnered to advance marine electrification with innovative Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS). This collaboration combines EVE’s lithium marine battery technology with GWT’s marine engineering expertise, offering systems that last up to 15 years, outperforming traditional LFP systems and reducing ownership costs.
