WorkBoat's new conference program, Maritime Innovations at WorkBoat, offers three days of high-impact sessions on critical topics like safety, boatbuilding, and electrical systems. Our program includes two paid classrooms for specialized discussions and the Main Stage with free content on new technology, dredging, Government Maritime Acquisition Day, and so much more.
With so much to cover, Vessel Owners & Operators may wonder what they can realistically gain from attending. That’s why we’ve outlined the key educational takeaways that will provide these professionals with actionable insights to apply in their operations.
1.) Vessel owners and operators will learn how to leverage IoT, AI, and autonomous systems to improve vessel design, operation and maintenance
Gain firsthand knowledge from Matthew Jackson, VP of Advanced Energy at Crowley, of the latest advancements in maritime technology. Explore how cutting-edge technologies like autonomous systems and green energy are transforming vessel design, operation, and maintenance, driving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the maritime industry.
2.) Discover opportunities for collaborating on NOAA’s new vessel construction and fleet enhancements
NOAA's fleet, averaging 30 years old, supports diverse marine activities, but with six ships nearing retirement by 2030, the agency is building four new vessels to sustain its science mission and future needs. Hear from the likes of NOAA Rear Adm. Chad Cary, in this networking opportunity to foster collaborations in shipbuilding contracts, new vessel construction services, or innovative solutions for enhancing NOAA’s fleet operations.
3.) Gain insights into optimizing energy efficiency and reducing fuel consumption with innovative cooling systems and ESDs
Innovative Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) are revolutionizing the maritime industry by optimizing cooling systems for greater energy efficiency and decarbonization in both retrofits and new builds. Join Soren Pederson, CMO at Frese A/S to learn more about dynamic valve technology and other cutting-edge components that optimize energy efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
4.) Explore new technologies for reducing g-forces and enhancing safety on high-speed patrol craft
Project PERFECT STORM is a collaborative effort to enhance maritime safety by leveraging cutting-edge technology and global expertise to reduce g-forces and slamming loads on high-speed patrol craft, ensuring safer operations across various work vessels. Learn more about this new tech to help your team design safer, more efficient vessels.
5.) Understand how to apply diverse power solutions to achieve decarbonization in your marine operations
Cummins’ Destination Zero strategy embraces diverse power solutions, from EPA Tier 4 to methanol, to drive marine industry decarbonization. Join Gbile Adewunmi, Vice President at Cummins Power Systems to gain knowledge to make informed decisions on engine upgrades, new builds, and operational adjustments aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
