As the maritime and offshore industries focus on a low-carbon future, hybrid technology has gathered increased interest. Based on an asset’s operational profile, hybrid electric power systems (HEPS) offer the opportunity to improve safety, reliability, operational efficiency, and reduce the fuel consumption, environmental footprint, and equipment maintenance when compared to traditional electrical power systems.

ABS’s latest publication, ABS Guide for Hybrid Electric Power Systems for Marine and Offshore Applications, addresses this topic specifically for marine and offshore assets designed, constructed, or retrofitted with a hybrid electric power system. Assets meeting the Guide’s requirements are eligible to receive a notation that denotes the hybrid application onboard.
