Fleetzero, a developer and manufacturer of modular propulsion platforms for hybrid and electric ships, has selected Glosten<\/a>, a Seattle-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm, to design what is expected to be the world\u2019s longest-range hybrid electric vessel. This collaboration marks a major step forward in the effort to offer zero-emission global shipping and expand the reach of electric propulsion in commercial maritime applications.<\/p>\n Glosten has been working with Fleetzero on the retrofit of a Lightering Support Vessel owned \u201cThis vessel will be a major milestone\u2014not just for us, but for the entire industry,\u201d said Steven \u201cWe\u2019re excited to support Fleetzero in transforming this vessel,\u201d added Morgan Fanberg<\/a>, CEO and With the vessel design already underway, Fleetzero and Glosten will transition into detailed Guided by the seagoing experience of its many former\u2011mariner team members, Fleetzero develops technology that puts crew safety and operational simplicity first while significantly reducing costs and elevating efficiency. <\/p>\n Glosten is a full-service consulting firm of naval architects and marine, electrical, production, and ocean engineers. The firm\u2019s design experience includes research vessels, tugs, barges, passenger and car ferries, and special-purpose platforms. Founded in 1958, the firm is recognized throughout the marine industry for integrating cutting-edge technologies and advanced analysis with practical, experience-based design. <\/p>\n The post Fleetzero, Glosten to build world\u2019s longest-range hybrid electric vessel<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
and operated by AET<\/a>. This vessel is being outfitted with a plug-in hybrid-electric propulsion
system and will transit primarily on battery power once the conversion is complete.<\/p>\n
Henderson, CEO of Fleetzero<\/a>. \u201cPartnering with Glosten allows us to showcase how our
propulsion technology can enable economical, cleaner, and more efficient operations, while
pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n
president of Glosten. \u201cIt\u2019s a bold move toward the next generation of marine technology, and
exactly the kind of advancement we\u2019re proud to support.\u201d<\/p>\n
engineering in the coming months, with construction expected to begin in mid-2026. Once
operational, the vessel will serve as a model for long-range hybrid-electric propulsion worldwide.
