A vessel energy management system for controlling power supply to and from a propulsion system of a vessel, the energy management system (4) comprising a motor/generator unit (5) adapted to receive power from a prime mover (1) of the vessel; a frequency converter (6); an energy storage unit (7) and a controller; wherein the energy storage unit (7) comprises one or more capacitors, super capacitors or ultra capacitors (68); wherein the controller of the energy management system (4) determines an instantaneous power requirement of the propulsion system and average power generated by the prime mover (1); a comparator to compare the instantaneous required power and average power; wherein if the instantaneous required power exceeds the average power, the motor/generator unit (5) receives energy from the energy storage unit; and, wherein if the instantaneous required power is less than the average power, the motor/generator unit supplies power from the prime mover to the energy storage unit.
