"State-owned China Ocean Shipping Group (COSCO) has launched the world’s
largest electric container ship, which will begin a regular service between
Shanghai and Nanjing and save 3,900kg of fuel for every 100 nautical miles
sailed.
The
Greenwater 01 arrived at the deepwater Yangshan Port in Hangzhou Bay
south of Shanghai this week, an all-electric container ship measuring 119.8
meters in length, width of 23.6 metres and depth of 9 metres.
It is the world’s first 10,000-tonne pure electric container ship and boasts a
top speed of 19.4km/h and a battery capacity of over 50,000kWh.
Each battery container offers 1,600kWh of electricity and utilises a container
similar to the standard 20-foot containers the vessel transports. The number of
battery packs can therefore be modified depending on the journey by simply
modifying the number of battery containers are installed onboard.
The
Greenwater 01 is expected to be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
by 12.4 tonnes for the same distance travelled."
