Read moreBattery technology seems to be in the center of marine electrification and is seen as a solution to energy efficiency. Lithium-ion batteries are the ones that currently dominate battery technology in the shipping industry. But, using more and more batteries raises the question of their disposal in the spirit of cradle-to-grave sustainability.
Read moreBatteries are part of almost all on board vital systems as back up power provider. The batteries themselves do not produce power but they provide the stored power which produced during charging phase by other power producer.
