A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built. The majority of global shipbuilding happens in South Korea, Japan, and China. Alexander Piragis/Alamy Batteries are an obvious nonstarter, Emblemsvåg adds. Yet the nation’s shipbuilding industry is tiny.
