Presentation

Applicability of containerized ESS on inland waterway and coastal shipping

The presentation will examine the applicability of containerized energy storage on inland waterway and coastal ship types. By introducing the containerized battery energy storage, we will demonstrate its applicability to maximize the energy content in the fixed footprint of a 20ft equivalent sized deck house/structure, while minimizing fault occurrence for the ship owner/operator. The presentation will focus on how a containerized energy storage solution will enable inland waterway ships and coastal cargo ships to reduce GHG emissions while finding the optimal footprint so as not to reduce cargo capacity.
