On behalf of MarRI-UK, SMI and DER-Industrialisation Centre Scotland (DER-IC Scotland), SMI would like to invite you to a workshop on Maritime Electrification on 2nd March 2022 from 10.00 – 15:30, at the Technology & Innovation Centre, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. 

This workshop will provide stakeholders with the opportunity to explore the future challenges in maritime electrification, engage with each other to identify project ideas and develop collaborative plans to shape a collective response to a nationally significant challenge. Participants will also have the opportunity to assess funding opportunities and learn about MarRI-UK and DER-IC projects and capability in electrification of propulsion and auxiliary systems on board vessels and ashore.

Moderated by Tom Chant, CEO, Society of Maritime Industries, the workshop will include a presentation from Richard Westgarth, MarRI-UK Chair of Technical Board who will provide an overview of the organisation and its current activities. 

Also included within the programme:
•    A presentation of three projects on zero emission vessel electrification that have been funded through MarRI-UK’s Clean Maritime and Technology & Innovation UK Maritime Call and supported by the Department for Transport.
•    DER Industrialisation Centre - Scotland will present an overview of Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD) projects and opportunities that can be transferred, and/or add strength to the maritime sector.

Participants will have the opportunity to contribute through interactive activity sessions during the workshop.
