Echandia, the leading Swedish maritime battery system supplier, has secured an order for four battery systems with final delivery during 2025. The contract includes an option for delivery to two additional vessels.
These battery systems are intended for installation in a total of four vessels for hybrid propulsion scheduled for production starting in 2024. The battery systems from Echandia will provide blackout prevention, spinning reserve and peak-shaving, greatly reducing fuel cost and port emissions while maintaining the industry’s highest safety standards.
”We are delighted to have been chosen for this important project. The exceptional safety features and extended lifespan, offering exceptional cost-effectiveness, of our battery systems were key factors in securing this order. The momentum behind electrification in the maritime industry continues to surge, and we are maintaining our position as a frontrunner in the journey towards safe marine electrification”, says Fredrik Hellström, Echandia CEO.
The heavy-duty battery systems are slated for delivery during the 2024 and 2025.
