Participants

As partners of “Sea Li-ion”, we are stepping up to the challenge to address the knowledge gaps that still remain when it comes to battery use for ship propulsion. We will fill those gaps with facts, figures, and solutions to ensure that the electric future that we all dream about can become a reality.

SEEHAFEN KIEL GmbH & Co. KG (”Port of Kiel”)

The Port of Kiel is one of the most versatile ports in the Baltic Sea region and recognized as a port of the comprehensive TEN-T network. While general and bulk cargoes have a primarily local and regional relevance, approx. 80% of the seaport’s annual turnover is ferry traffic. Consequently, intermodal transport plays a significant role for the seaport Kiel. Furthermore, Kiel benefits from its location at the entrance to the world’s most frequented artificial waterway, the Kiel Canal, making it an important intermodal hub of Northern Germany. Through its “Blue Port Kiel” concept4, the port strives to contribute to mitigating climate change by energy and resource efficiency.

 

DNV GL SWEDEN AB (”DNV GL”)

Germanischer Lloyd (GL) was founded in Hamburg in 1867, out of an urge to achieve transparency. As an independent classification society, GL was created to evaluate the quality of ships and deliver the results to shipowners, merchants, and insurers. The background of the Norwegian branch of Det Norske Veritas (DNV) is similar. The two classification societies merged in 2013. DNV GL is now the leading provider of risk management and quality assurance services to the maritime and energy industries, active in more than 100 countries. DNV GL’s ability to advise on tomorrow’s energy infrastructure in addition to its expertise in creating technical standards for the safety of the world’s shipping fleet makes it a key participant of this Action. This knowledge will form an important link between the maritime and the electricity sectors.

 

Göteborgs Hamn AB (”Port of Gothenburg”)

The Port of Gothenburg is Scandinavia’s only port with direct routes the world over. It is recognized as a port of the core TEN-T network and an important intermodal hub for the north of Europe.

For goods to be transported onward by truck, the port is strategically located close to the major European motorways. 70% of the Nordic region’s population and industry are located within a radius of 500 kilometers from the port, including Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. The Port of Gothenburg is working on a long-term basis to mitigate the environmental impact of shipping and to contribute to sustainable transport.
