The Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe is set to return to the RAI Center in Amsterdam from June 24 to 26, serving as a crucial gathering for professionals driving maritime electrification and decarbonization. Over 150 exhibitors, including shipbuilders, engine and drivetrain manufacturers, battery and fuel cell suppliers, and shore charging specialists, will showcase the latest developments in sustainable and efficient maritime technologies. While the event primarily focuses on large ships and industrial applications, it also features exhibitors with products and systems tailored for smaller leisure and workboats.
The expo will kick off with the E&HME Awards, recognizing achievements in various categories, including Environmental Achievement of the Year for Propulsion System Design, Vessel Design, and Industry Contribution. Other awards will honor innovations in concept vessel design, new propulsion technology, vessel charging, ports and harbor innovation, hydrogen technology, and the marine industry supplier of the year.
One of the most anticipated announcements at the expo will be the launch of the Global Alliance for Maritime Electrification (GAME). This new coalition brings together four not-for-profit associations—IEMA, ZESTAs, EOPSA, and the Maritime Battery Forum—to align research, policy, and industry action towards reducing emissions. GAME unites over 250 member organizations worldwide, aiming to accelerate the transition to zero-emission maritime technologies.
