Presentation

Case studies for battery-powered mid-size vessels

Battery-powered vessels have recently entered the shipping business in applications with short ferry crossings or hybrid installations. Continuous rapid development of battery performance and cost, along with its inherently superior well-to-wake efficiency, begs the question as to what needs to happen with battery cost and performance to make them viable for deep sea shipping. This presentation will offer a study that tries to address these questions by identifying barriers, gaps and required development; operational issues and relevant vessels; charging infrastructure and potential WTW impact of battery-powered vessels.
