The event gives insights into strategies, visions and practical experiences related to electric water mobility in Stockholm / SE, which are examined from different perspectives as a case study. Furthermore, it provides a peek into the – not too far away – future and introduces innovative solutions for waterborne public transport that will soon become available as commercial products, incl. high-speed pax vessels and autonomous marine transport systems.

Electric water mobility in Stockholm Region – experiences & visions
Innovative solutions for electric urban water transport
Stockholm, which is located on several islands,has the goal to become carbonneutral by 2040. A centralelement for achieving this goal is totransformthe public transport system, in which waterbornetransportationplays an important role. Already today, great parts of it operateemission freethanks to procurements with climate requirements. From2014, first steps to electrify also the waterborne public transport were taken–and further actions are planned forthe next years.
The second ELMAR online event on electric water mobility has its focus on leisure boating and recreational shipping. This time, we have a closer look to Amsterdam / NL, where the ban of internal combustion engines from 2025 leads to the “electrification” of an entire boating region. Besides first-hand information on the political framework for the transition to emission-free maritime traffic by the Deputy Mayor of the City of Amsterdam, Mr. Egbert de Vries, the seminar presents solutions for providing on-shore and charging infrastructure for electric vessels, as well as urban use cases and innovative rental for e-boats and e-ships in Amsterdam.

The last event in our series of ELMAR online seminars focuses on car ferries & pax vessels and presents the state of affairs in Norway, the world´s leading country for electric water mobility. By 2021, more than 80 electric car & pax ferries are operating in Norwegian waters - and the further roll-out of emission-free waterborne transportation is proceeding with an impressive pace. The seminar starts with an update on government policies & actions to foster the “green shift” of the domestic ferry market. Afterwards, it acquaints you with innovative ship designs and operating experiences with electric vessels of different kinds, incl. next gen battery-electric domestic car ferries, the world´s largest plug-in hybrid RoPax ship, a battery-driven high-speed pax vessel and a sea-going hydrogen-electric car & pax ferry.
