The marine transportation sector is going full steam ahead in pushing towards ambitious sustainability goals, aiming for a 70% CO₂ reduction by 2040 through electrification solutions for large vessels and public transit ferries, from grid to plug and key propulsion components.
Port owners and vessel operators are looking for innovative ways to minimize noise pollution, reduce fuel consumption, cut CO2 emissions, and enable the transition from diesel fuel to electric and hybrid vessels. The largest challenge our customers must navigate is the retrofitting of existing fleets and ports to support the necessary electrification and digitalization initiatives that will enable this transformation.
Achieve your digital future
- Embrace On-board Electrification
- Transform On-shore eStrategy
- Leverage Intelligent Digital Solutions
Electrifying cargo vessels with on-board technology is a major challenge. Since intercontinental shipping involves days-long routes without port stops, battery storage must be sufficient to power the journey and maintain charge.
The industry's highest short-circuit performance and quality
Distribute on-board electricity safely and securely
Electric propulsion of shipping vessels requires transformers specifically designed to meet the requirements of marine applications. Hitachi Energy offers designs in a diverse range of sizes, weights and power ratings.
Improve on-board power quality
Hitachi Energy develops and manufactures a comprehensive range of capacitors and filters solutions that improve the power quality of electrical networks by eliminating disturbances and improving power factor in line with the grid requirements.
Our vast global setup enables us to offer expert competence close to you. We will help you identify problems, provide solutions and service your needs.
