Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) installations on board ships have been increasing in number and installed power as the battery technology also develops.

EMSA has today released new guidance on the Safety of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) on-board ships, which guidance aims at supporting maritime administrations and the industry by promoting a uniform implementation of the essential safety requirements for batteries on-board of ships. 

While shipping has limited experience using hydrogen as a fuel and some of the key technologies (such as engines) remain under development, there is sufficient land-based experience with its production and use, EMSA notes in a new report.
