Electric mobility has reached the maritime sector. Both ships (e.g. excursion boats) & leisure boats (e.g. motorboats or yachts) with electric engines become more popular. Market potentials (e.g. in ecologically sensitive & motorboat restricted waters) inside and outside the SB area are increasingly recognised in the industry. The South Baltic area has strong boat & ship building tradition & industry: – There are larger boat & ship builders (some of international significance) & their suppliers. They are often cooperating in cross-border supply chains (e.g. suppliers in PL produce hulls for HanseYachts in Greifswald / DE). – There are SMEs specialised e.g. in small ships, excursion ships & leisure boats. Some of them take up traditional regional boat designs tailored to the typical shallow waters of the lagoons (e.g. “Kurenkahn” / LT, “Zeesenboot” / DE). – The region’s research institutes have R&D capacities in boat&ship design (e.g. universities in Rostock, Szczecin, Gdańsk, Klaipeda; BTH) that can help to advance the current boat & ship designs. It can be observed that the South Baltic ship & boat building industry has started to produce electric boats & ships (e.g. electric excursion boats “FährBär” of BVG / FRS built by Formstaal in Stralsund / DE) – and that also the interest in the tourism sector increased (e.g. electric boat rental on Achterwasser / DE). However, a wider adaption to electric maritime mobility is still to be made. Especially the combination of regional ship & boat building competences (small ships, boats for shallow waters) with electric engines may create innovative and green maritime products with good market prospects – both within the SB area and beyond. It provides opportunities for new designs & applications & new markets. Seed funding is needed to do a baseline analysis on existing market actors (boatbuilders, boat-and ship repair services, suppliers, shipbuilders) & to explore their needs in developing the electric boats segme
