Battery Power Could Work for Boxships
Battery-electric propulsion systems in the container shipping industry could be an effective way to decarbonize if methods are implemented to reduce battery costs and deploy recharging points on short sea routes, a new study suggests. Although the operating costs of electric ships are much lower than conventional ships, the high price of batteries makes their initial costs much higher.
