ABDOMINAL as well as the Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) are to interact to study lithium battery propulsion for future generation vessels.

The Frame Cooperation Agreement, authorized at Marintec, will certainly see ABS as well as CATL collectively accomplish the study on the technological criteria for battery-powered vessels, consisting of crucial safety-related modern technologies such as the propulsion system, billing system, power battery area format as well as fire control.

The job likewise covers study right into the technological criteria of lithium batteries, consisting of numerous battery product homes as well as burning systems in addition to the efficiency of safety and security system, such as surveillance as well as very early caution of thermal diffusion.

The job will certainly sustain alteration of the category of lithium battery examination standards as well as drive renovations in the common system for lithium batteries for ships.

“Vehicle designs have taken advantage of new battery technologies such as Lithium batteries originally developed for the telecommunications industry with considerable success. ABS and CATL are at the forefront of exploring how to harness the potential of these new battery technologies to power ocean going vessels,” claimedDr Xiaozhi (Christina) Wang, ABDOMINAL Vice President,Global Marine “Battery technology can certainly contribute to fuel savings and therefore GHG emissions reduction in a number of ways which make this an exciting area for practical research.”

“The Li-Ion battery technology of CATL is already being applied to electric passenger vehicles, buses, electric trucks and a range of other vehicles. We look forward to working with ABS to expand this technology to vessels and realizing our shared vision of a more sustainable society in the near future,” claimed Qu Tao, Assistant to the Chairman of CATL.
