Fleetzero and Glosten are pioneering the world’s longest range hybrid electric vessel, marking a major leap in the decarbonisation of commercial shipping and the evolution of sustainable naval architecture.
Fleetzero, in partnership with naval architecture firm Glosten, has announced plans to build the world’s longest range hybrid electric vessel. Construction is set to begin in 2026, with the project aiming to prove that hybrid and electric propulsion can move beyond short sea ferries and harbour craft into the long-range commercial shipping sector.
This development marks a major step forward in decarbonising global shipping. By combining modular hybrid propulsion with advanced vessel design, the project showcases how innovation in naval architecture can directly shape the path to a cleaner, more sustainable maritime industry.
At DELMAR7, we actively follow such breakthroughs as they highlight the future of naval architecture and marine engineering. The integration of new propulsion systems, smart hull design, and sustainable operations is central to the transformation of shipping, and we are committed to staying engaged with these changes as we support the wider maritime and offshore sectors.
🌍 Hybrid and electric shipping is no longer a distant ambition; it is becoming part of the industry’s reality.
