Everyone interested in learning from incidents involving batteries on board ships is welcome to participate in this working group organized by the Maritime Battery Forum. This meeting we will not discuss a maritime incident with batteries, but an incident with batteries in a land-based application. Because of the valuable lessons learned from this incident and the in-depth analysis performed by Exponent, we are happy that Kevin White will share with us his insights from this analysis. 

Agenda

• Welcome and introduction

• Presentation by Kevin White (Exponent) on the battery incident in Surprise, Arizona (April 2019)

• Q&A

This meeting is open for everyone who wants to learn more about incidents with batteries on board ships and share their experiences. A joint effort to increase safety related to batteries in a maritime environment, both for batteries as part of the propulsion systems, and batteries as cargo on board. Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone interested in this topic.
