The Maritime Administration (MARAD), in cooperation with Det Norske Veritas-Germanischer Lloyd, American Bureau of Shipping, and The American Society for Testing and Materials, will hold a workshop to share information and gather input related to the application of high- power batteries in maritime transportation. The workshop is being held as part of the Agency's Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) Program.
