Scotland’s Maritime Future: Developing an industry of the sea policy for energy, fisheries, transport, manufacturing and tourism
- Date: 22 February 2011
- Location: Sun Microsystems Executive Briefing Centre, Linlithgow
- Attendee: Guy Platten
Theme
Due to the diverse nature of shipbuilding, marine renewables, marine leisure, consulting, fisheries and transport etc, it not necessarily easy for those organisations whose work is influenced by Government policies relating to the sea to easily jointly influence Scottish Government thinking on the matter. The European Commission and some many European countries have already adopted integrated approaches. This conference will give a cross-section of stakeholders the opportunity to discuss how a joined up policy can serve the needs of Scotland's maritime industries.
Speakers include:
Haitze Siemers
Head of the Unit for the North Sea and the Baltic, Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
Tim Hurst
Thematic Manager, Marine Renewables, Scottish European Green Energy Centre
Guy Platten
Chief Executive, Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd

Hybrid ferries: the opportunity for Scotland
- Date: 18 February 2011
- Location: Radison Blu Hotel, 301 Argyle St, Glasgow
- Attendee: The CMAL team
Putting Scotland at the forefront of ferry design and innovation
The ferry fleets for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland will be progressively renewed over the next few years and under an EU INTERREG IVA funded project a common set of design parameters has been developed to address future fleet needs (www.smallferriesproject.com).
With an eye both to its environmental footprint and the creation of an innovative commercial opportunity for Scotland, CMAL, which owns the Calmac fleet, has developed an engineering concept design for the world’s first sea going RORO passenger hybrid (battery/diesel-electric) ferry.
CMAL plans to tender for two hybrid ferries in the Spring of 2011 and with an anticipated build of 12 months this could put Scotland at the forefront of this technology.
The project aims to bring together existing technologies and expertise to develop these vessels.
Join us for the Information Day to hear about the project, to learn about funding opportunities and to meet other companies which could be partners in future collaborative projects.
