Fleetzero<\/a>, a leading developer and manufacturer of modular propulsion platforms for hybrid and electric ships, has selected Glosten<\/a>, a leading 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 and operated by AET. 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 \u201cThis vessel will be a major milestone\u2014not just for us, but for the entire industry,\u201d said Steven Henderson, CEO of Fleetzero. \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 \u201cWe\u2019re excited to support Fleetzero in transforming this vessel,\u201d added Morgan Fanberg, CEO & 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 With the vessel design already underway, Fleetzero and Glosten will transition into detailed 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \t
