The Good, The Bad and The Reality

Workboats face a complex propulsion evolution, with efficiency, sustainability, and practicality shaping future choices.

Propulsion systems come with individual advantages and trade-offs, shaped by operational demands, vessel design, plus challenging weather and sea conditions. In this session we will be discussing the Good, the Bad, and the Reality of vessel propulsion choice and how they each affect a vessels overall efficiency.
Our expert speakers will tackle key discussion points on reliability, power, range and manoeuvrability with the realities of capital costs, supply chain challenges, emissions reduction and regulatory pressure.
