Merehommik: Next Generation Government Fleet For the Baltic Sea

EST: Kutsume teid osalema Eesti Merendusklastri ja ABB koostöös Merehommiku sarja seminaril “Next Generation Government Fleet for the Baltic Sea – Modern Solutions for Electric Power and Propulsion”, mis keskendub Eesti ja Läänemere piirkonna riiklike laevastike uuendamisele. Muutuvad operatiivsed vajadused, uued tehnoloogiad ning kasvav nõudlus energiatõhususe ja töökindluse järele loovad selge vajaduse kaasaegsete elektri‑ ja propulsioonilahenduste järele.

Seminar toob kokku riigiasutused, merendusoperaatorid, ettevõtted ja Eesti Merendusklastri liikmed. ABB jagab värskeid teadmisi elektrifitseerimise, Azipod® propulsiooni ja digitaaltehnoloogiate arengust. Päev sisaldab ekspertettekandeid, Riigilaevastiku ja kaitsesektori ülevaateid ning paneeldiskussiooni.

Ootame teie osalemist, et ühiselt kujundada kaasaegne ja vastupidav riigilaevastik Läänemerele.

ENG: We invite you to join the Estonian Maritime Cluster’s and ABB's Merehommik seminar “Next Generation Government Fleet for the Baltic Sea – Modern Solutions for Electric Power and Propulsion”, focusing on the modernization of Estonia’s and the Baltic Sea region’s state fleets. Evolving operational needs, new technologies, and increasing expectations for energy efficiency and reliability highlight the importance of modern electric and propulsion solutions.

The seminar brings together government agencies, maritime operators, companies, and members of the Estonian Maritime Cluster. ABB will share insights into the latest developments in electrification, Azipod® propulsion, and digital marine technologies. The program includes expert presentations, contributions from Riigilaevastik and the defense sector, and a panel discussion.

We look forward to your participation as we work together to shape a modern and resilient government fleet for the Baltic Sea.
