Batteries are an important part of reducing GHG emissions and moving the green transition. Join us to learn more about the current state of the industry with batteries, and explore the advantages and challenges we encounter with this new technology.
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the engineering and impact of batteries in commercial maritime shipping. This seminar will examine how batteries are now making their way into broader segments of the shipping industry and the consequences of this movement.

Welcome
Designing safe battery installations onboard a maritime vessel from an engineers point of view by Erik Lisber Borum, OSK Design
During the design of a vessel, many points need to be considered, Erik will have a walk through the following points during his presentation.
- Why install batteries onboard a vessel?
- A few interesting rules and regulations when installing batteries
- Challenges with new buildings compared to conventional vessels
- Challenges with retrofit projects adding batteries or replacing diesel engines with batteries
- Risk assessments, principles and how they can help improve the design
Electrified operation of a Danish ferry by Henrik Hagbarth Mikkelsen, Senior Officer, MARNAV and Niels Haastrup, Maskinmestrenes Forening, R&D Manager, FMS.
Learn more on Ærøfærgernes Ellen's battery bank and the upcoming total battery replacement, as well as the Maritime Battery Life project. Get an operational insight into the tasks, responsibilities and competence requirements for engineers on board.
In this session we will explore topics related to battery technology developments and fire and explosion safety. We will also present results from our recent project BESAFE on battery explosion hazards, focusing on testing and mitigation measures.
The event is in collaboration with Danish Society for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
