DANFOSS PLUGS INTO ELECTRIFICATION AND PROPELS HYBRIDIZATION

The Marine industry has an increasing responsibility to implement decarbonisation strategies to combat climate change.

To ensure a successful transition towards decarbonisation by implementing electrification and hybridization to meet 2050 climate goals and targets, stakeholders must act now.

Under the auspices of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) UAE Branch, leading sustainable innovation company - Danfoss, sponsored an enriching knowledge sharing session focusing on Electrification and Hybridization solutions for efficiency, safety and reliability while reducing total cost of an asset ownership.

The event was attended by 165 delegates from regional ship owners and managers, top management of suppliers and service companies, independent surveyors, classification society executives, inspectors from Flag Administrations and port officials from the Middle East.

During the introduction, Nikeel Idnani, Honorary Secretary IMarEST UAE and moderator for the event, highlighted the fact that Danfoss was traditionally known as a manufacturer of safety, clean water on-board, engine function and auxiliary systems monitoring equipment.

While these 'bits & bobs' are critical, Nikeel hinted that the tagline ENGINEERING TOMORROW serves as Danfoss's greater purpose and the mission of the seminar was to drive the sustainable transformation of the future.

Full electrification is a highly sustainable option for ferries, work boats, and other vessels which can charge batteries regularly. With full electrification combined with a renewable shore power supply, you achieve not only low but zero emissions from the ship.
