Energy Transition Gathering Pace for Fast Craft

10.05.2023

For Speed@Seawork 2023 John Haynes, MD of Hybrid Marine Power, will present on his experiences of 'Energy Transition Gathering Pace for High Speed Craft.'

He will also set out the possibilities and the realities, including how does hydrogen fit into the fast craft energy mix and what happens as powertrain R&D moves from funding innovative concepts to actual vessel projects.

Speed@Seawork returns to Cowes, Isle of Wight, with a new venue for 2023 in the shape of the historic Royal Yacht Squadron. Five centuries after the Castle was built as a deterrent to security threats at the time, the award-winning Pavilion on the Squadron lawn will welcome an international group interested in vessels that operate at high speed in sectors ranging from security intervention to search and rescue.

First introduced in 2018, Speed@Seawork is aimed squarely at facilitating growth and development for the design, build and operation of these specialist vessels. This one day event turns the spotlight on a significant sector of the commercial marine industry offering knowledge sharing, networking and demonstration opportunities.

Speed@Seawork is on Monday 12 June, the day before the main Seawork 2022 event commences. The day starts with a short voyage from Southampton over to the Isle of Wight, with breakfast and presentations on fast boat activities and future developments.

Attendees have the opportunity to go out on sea trials in the varied sea states of the Solent off Cowes. There will be expert presentations over lunch, followed by further sea trials then the day ends with drinks and canapes on the return trip to Southampton.
