Metstrade - Revolutionizing the Marine Industry: From Electric Boating to Robotics

The most interesting industry insights and news from the leisure marine industry

Humans of METSTRADE: Cees van Bladel

H2 Marine Solutions founder and Olympic sailor, Cees van Bladel, speaks with Kim Hollamby about the background to his organisation’s developments with hydrogen as a performance extender for electric-powered high performance small craft.

35 years of METSTRADE:
a trip down memory lane

Founded in 1988, METSTRADE began as a humble gathering of marine industry professionals and enthusiasts. Little did anyone anticipate that this small initiative would burgeon into the colossal event it is today, attracting participants from all corners of the globe.

Robotic Automation in Superyacht Manufacturing

Is the custom nature of a superyacht a definitive barrier to adopting robotic automation in the build process? As Industry 4.0 reshapes manufacturing processes across the board and robot technologies evolve, the answer might not be as straightforward as you think.

Rapid development of battery and fuel cell

New scientific discoveries are rapidly embraced to enable more long-lasting power to drive electric vehicles. Boats and yachts equipped with long life, long range batteries and modes of creating their own electric power, offer stress-free navigating for their crews.

Innovations that boost electric boating

Rapid development of technology and infrastructure may propel electric propulsion to become the new standard in boating and yachting. Fast charging stations and improvement of efficiency in the drive train, together with advanced control of hydrofoils, can enable battery powered boats to achieve range and speed comparable at comparable or even better figures than fossil fuelled boats.

The perfect foil with Luca Rizzotti

Luca Rizzotti, founder of We Are Foiling, discusses the growing influence of foiling in the boating industry and the potential for industry collaboration at METSTRADE's Foiling Technology Pavilion and beyond. Collaboration is essential for optimizing foiling technology and establishing shared standards to drive growth in the industry.
