Webinar – Energy Innovation at Sea: Bridging Commercial and Naval Fleets
The U.S. maritime industry is entering a new era of energy innovation. From commercial ferries to cutting-edge naval vessels, advances in hybrid propulsion, energy storage, and automation are redefining how fleets operate.
In this Marine Log webinar, Editor-in-Chief Heather Ervin moderates a discussion with Siemens Energy experts Bryant Fuller (Head of Naval Programs for Marine) and Ryan Bishop (Director of Ferry Marine Solutions). Topics will include:
- How commercial advances in hybrid and diesel-electric propulsion are influencing Navy programs;
- The LOC-NESS modular energy storage system and its role in the Navy’s vision for all-electric ships;
- Lessons from NOAA’s research vessels that can inform military applications;
- Energy demands of unmanned undersea vehicles;
- Shipboard automation and remote support technologies; and
- How veteran expertise is shaping Siemens Energy’s marine innovation initiatives.
Join us September 23 at 2 p.m. EST as we explore the technologies driving operational efficiency, emissions reduction, and fleet modernization across both commercial and naval sectors.
