With the marine industry continuing to make steady progress toward large-scale, electrically assisted propulsion throughout the pandemic, the 2022 edition of Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe could not be better timed, ofering the marine sector a laser-focused event, with a free-to-attend exhibition packed full of new technologies, and a (paid-for) conference boasting some of the sector’s brightest minds.
A truly global event
Taking place at Amsterdam RAI in the Netherlands on 21, 22, and 23 June, the seventh annual Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo is the biggest yet, with 200+ exhibitors from more than 20 countries set to showcase their latest innovations.
For small regional ferry feet operators keen to reduce costs, through to international shipowners and operators wanting to learn more about tomorrow’s propulsion solutions, as well as boat builders and engine makers concerned about emissions legislation, your search for fuel-saving and charging technologies starts here!
With world-leading R&D experts and engineers from major players such as Fincantieri SI, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Corvus Energy, Wärtsilä and Rolls-Royce all rubbing shoulders with leading suppliers like ABB, Saft, Torqeedo and

Exhibitor news
With over 200 exhibitors, this year’s show will provide visitors with a host of new product launches and engineering innovations, all under one roof for maximum convenience. For example, GS Yuasa, one of the world’s largest battery manufacturers, will showcase its YBX Active Marine Dual EFB batteries, developed to meet the demands of starting and auxiliary power requirements, providing greater endurance, more available cycles and faster charging.
Visitors to Amsterdam will also be able to learn more about Navtek Naval Technologies’ Zeetug30 – a zeroemission, rechargeable, fully electric battery-powered tugboat, which has completed more than a year of proven operation runtime in Tuzla Bay, Istanbul, one of the busiest ports in Europe. The tugboat had successfully accomplished 1,532 operations by the end of 2021 with 1,930 hours of runtime.
3mar will display the latest addition to its portfolio of novel shore connection and auto-mooring solutions. The Finnish company’s existing products, Nector 4000 and Nector 2000, are particularly suitable for bigger road ferries and can deliver charging power up to 10MW. Following the growing demand to electrify city ferries and smaller road ferries, the company will display Nector 1000 –a more compact unit capable of delivering from a few hundred kilowatts to a megawatt and above, which can be installed either on the vessel (no radio link required) or shoreside.
Echandia will launch a new air-cooled LTO module (battery system) during Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe. The air-cooled e-module is characterized by extreme high-power capability and 10C continuous power throughput, all while maintaining leading safety and lifetime expectancy. The upcoming e-module can be confgured with a new 26Ah cell or the 20Ah high-power cell, giving a specifc energy density of 13kg/kWh in the 26Ah version.
Ofering the frst fully marinized network of fast chargers for electric boats, Aqua SuperPower will demonstrate its powerful Aqua 150kW IP65-rated rapid charger,
