Ferries 2022
Event Info
Overcoming regulatory hurdles and accessing funding for alternative fuel technologies
Marine Log’s 35th Annual FERRIES Conference will take place in San Francisco on November 1 and 2, 2022.
Four Reasons to Attend
• Stay current on regulatory issues, decarbonization, alternative fuels, and cutting-edge technology for these vessels.
• Connect with high-level executives who make decisions and influence the operation, design and construction of ferries.
• Get the scoop on new products and services making a difference in the ferries industry.
• Enjoy two days of networking, education and fun.
With major funding opportunities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the U.S. ferry industry is focusing on growth—and the green innovation required to qualify for that funding. FERRIES 2022 will put a major focus on green tech, electrification, new fuels, and on what’s involved in unlocking grant funding and overcoming regulatory hurdles.
