The uniquely designed vessel will be fully battery powered, with e-motor driven Wärtsilä waterjets as the main propulsors. The battery modules and energy storage system package is four times larger than on any electric/hybrid ship currently operating. It will also be the world’s first electric, lightweight catamaran.

Diesel-powered AGV at CTA will be replaced step-by-step. A pilot project to test a lithium-ion AGV prototype coupled with an automatic electric charging station has been under way at CTA since autumn 2016. They can be fully charged in around an hour and a half, weigh only a third of a standard lead-acid battery and need no maintenance.

A containerized 600 kWh marine battery system will be installed in a trial on board the Maersk Cape Town in December 2019 to improve vessel performance and reliability while reducing CO 2 emissions. This can reduce generator maintenance requirements. Maersk Cape Town was built in 2011 by Hyundai Heavy Industries.

It will be capable of operating on battery power when in transit. The integrated hybrid functionality of this vessel will give us a bollard pull of up to 100 tons, while saving fuel and maintenance costs and producing emission levels some 20 percent less than from a conventional ship of this type and size.

The European Union plans to begin charging shippers for carbon emissions this year. Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships. A large merchant ship, capable of carrying thousands of containers, could be powered by two (or more) 30-megawatt reactors.

Furthermore, the hybrid solution will provide a more optimal load on the engines, while the intervals between engine maintenance can be extended. Viking Princess now runs on a combination of a battery pack for energy storage and three LNG-fueled Wärtsilä engines.
