AET, Fleetzero to develop plug-in hybrid-electric vessel

It is expected to be the world's longest-range hybrid-electric vessel.

AET and Fleetzero, a developer and manufacturer of modular marine batteries for hybrid and electric ships, have signed an agreement to develop the world’s longest-range plug-in hybrid-electric vessel.

Under the agreement, one of AET’s Lightering Support Vessels 1 will be retrofitted with a plug-in hybrid-electric system.

The vessel will operate primarily on battery power, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 82% compared to conventional low-speed vehicles on a tank-to-wake basis.

The signing took place at the AET Offshore office in Galveston, Texas, with representatives from both companies present.
