Показать описание
The world's largest 100% electric container ship, COSCO Shipping's Greenwater 01, completed its maiden voyage this week, arriving at the Yangshan Port in Shanghai with plans to start regular trips between major cities in the country's eastern coastal region.

The Greenwater 01 is powered by several "battery boxes" which are about the size of 20-foot standard containers.

Spent battery boxes can be easily swapped out, solving problems like long charging times and short range that hinder electric container ships with fixed batteries.

Very good development, we need more of that. People have no idea what level of energy savings electric ships make will bring, wherever possible from range requirements electrification is a HUGE environmental advantage. Such ships save thousends and thousends of dollars on each trip and reduce primary energy use on a gigantic scale.

could be combined with solar, wind, and diesel for backup. might be feasible... but it is hybrid. not bad nonetheless...

Yeah, nice try ... and how are those 24 battery boxes per round trip charged? From power stations running on coal ... fail. 😊🇦🇺
