Fleetzero, a developer and manufacturer of modular propulsion platforms for hybrid and electric ships, has selected Glosten, a Seattle-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm, to design what is expected to be the world’s longest-range hybrid electric vessel. This collaboration marks a major step forward in the effort to offer zero-emission global shipping and expand the reach of electric propulsion in commercial maritime applications.
Glosten has been working with Fleetzero on the retrofit of a Lightering Support Vessel owned
and operated by AET. This vessel is being outfitted with a plug-in hybrid-electric propulsion
system and will transit primarily on battery power once the conversion is complete.
“This vessel will be a major milestone—not just for us, but for the entire industry,” said Steven
Henderson, CEO of Fleetzero. “Partnering with Glosten allows us to showcase how our
propulsion technology can enable economical, cleaner, and more efficient operations, while
pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in shipping.”
