Feedback from 'Hybrid Marine Power & Propulsion Workshop' - May 2015
Having been both a delegate and presented at the Hybrid Marine Workshop, I learnt so much in 2 days about the opportunities and challenges that the commercial marine (In particular the offshore wind turbine support) industry faces - primarily driven by emissions legislation and fuel costs. The open forum event had lively debate and enabled questions to be aired and answered from all angles. Simon Mcloughlin - Managing Director, C-Fury Limited
Enjoyed all of it! Mel Lewis - Technical Director, Mainstay Marine Solutions
Just a quick line to say thank you for providing the opportunity for RNLI to attend the workshop this week and to thank your team for their efficient organisation. I found it very worthwhile from a professional point of view as well as an enjoyable two days spent with some top people. This has opened my eyes to the current state of the technolog(ies). Rob Cantrill - Head of Engineering, RNLI
A good range of credible presentations. Technology learning content good as well as application and future development. David Briggs - BAE Systems
All credit to John Haynes and his team for co-ordinating and making an event like this happen. How impressive on the first one to have such a heavy weight, high profile audience from industry OEM’s and manufacturers globally. With the Hybrid Marine Conference coming up later in the year this is certainly one to not be missed to get involved in the new thinking of marine propulsion and future capabilities. James Sydenham - General Manager, Golden Arrow Marine
Really high quality of speakers / visitors and a great effort at short notice to create the event! Overall very good and a real intro to the possibilities of these market sectors. Adam Younger - Principal Naval Architect, Adam Younger Design
This was a well presented conference bringing together like minded people with an interest in marine hybrid propulsion from both manufacturers and operators. There were well delivered and relevant presentations. It was a great place for networking and discussing future projects. I look forward to the next one! John Arnold - Manager, Torqeedo GB
Just wanted to thank you for organising the workshop – genuinely really enjoyed it. Good relevant content throughout. Andy Page - Naval Architect & Project Manager, Alicat / South Boats IOW
Very informative. Useful to hear the perspective of all the different parties with lively discussions. Conrad Ciaramella - REAP Systems
Useful introduction to hybrid technology and the concept behind what can be done. Andrew Mellard - General Manager Engines & Components, MAN Engines
It was nice meeting you in Southampton last month and I appreciate your kind reception. The workshop was very helpful for me to improve my understanding of the hybrid propulsion market. Michelle Moon - Manager Ship & Offshore TF Team, LG Chem
From my perspective as a small innovation led company to be able to present our technologies and ideas openly to the forum and in front of leading companies is an opportunity that we can not find anywhere else. To then network between proceedings and find new contacts was exceptional - I look forward to the next event. Andrew Mcloughlin - C-Fury
Excellent experience and knowledge and really good variety over the two days. Alex Atkins - Owner / Operator, Offshore Energy Solutions
