AMPERA Joins Shipping Industry Discussion on Alternate Fuels

The maritime industry is actively shifting toward cleaner energy to meet strict global emission rules.

As part of its Cargo Conference on Sept. 23-24 in Miami, the Association of Ship Brokers and Agents (USBA) held a panel session to focus on alternate fuel sources including scalable low-carbon options including nuclear.

AMPERA Founder and CEO Brian Matthews joined other executives to discuss current market dynamics, technology advances and future opportunities.

Matthews highlighted how AMPERA’s compact modular energy systems can support near-term shore power demands, as well as floating platform systems and ultimately propulsion.

The message supported the broader conversation about alternate fuels and how they can help address some of the power and sustainability challenges that the maritime industry is facing.

ASBA advances and fosters the ideals and standards of professional conduct and practices and is a medium through which members with common interests can communicate.

The organization focuses on bringing together ship brokers, agents and affiliates across the U.S. and Canada for more than 90 years.
