ICOMIA’s 1st International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference

ICOMIA’s 1st International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference

In the first conference of its kind, ICOMIA (International Council of Marine Industry Associations) will report all aspects of hybrid marine propulsion systems in detail. The 1st ICOMIA International Hybrid Marine Propulsion Conference is to be held immediately prior to METS on Monday 14 November 2011. The conference will review the technical issues surrounding the design and implementation of marine hybrids and provide objective data on their advantages and disadvantages. It will draw heavily on new information from the EU-funded HYMAR project.

The marine industry still has much to learn about these technologies and the HYMAR team has tackled the challenge by taking a systems approach. From energy generation and storage, right through to propulsion motors, propellers and control systems, HYMAR (Hybrid Marine) has reviewed all of the critical elements.
