Event Description:
This Marine Battery Workshop is in alignment with the shared vision of SNAME and the Maritime Battery Forum to build capacity and competency in the marine sector. This in-person workshop in Ottawa builds on the successful delivery of Maritime Battery Forum (MBF) courses worldwide and the MBF led in-person courses provided at both MARITECH 2024 and 2025.
This workshop is supported by the Maritime Battery Forum developed courses to provide everyone in the maritime industry with insights in maritime battery technology and marine electrification. The maritime industry is electrifying rapidly, and there is a continuous development of maritime battery technology. The insights gained from this course can provide people with the required knowledge to make the right choices for battery technology on board ships. This course is useful to anyone involved with marine electrification who wants to understand battery technology and how to safely install batteries on board ships
75% - MBF course progressing from the basics of marine batteries to holistic ship integration considerations

25% - workshop / experiential discussions
Target Audience: All disciplines (Nav Arch, Mech, Elec, Eng, Tech) and levels of experience (recent graduates to engineering leads) – very positive feedback from the wide variety of participants who have attended the previous Canadian courses.
