The increased adoption of battery technology in the maritime sector, owing to its energy storage capacity and advancement in battery efficiency in response to stringent environmental regulations, is anticipated to propel market growth.

Growing demand for sustainable energy solutions

Battery energy emerged as a promising alternative for ship propulsion, offering near-zero-emission operation and improved energy efficiency. The solution uses green electric power from renewable sources on shore to propel vessels, accompanied by efficient onboard power and energy management systems. Further, the integration of hybrid system renewable energy sources aids in enhancing ship efficiency and contributing to reducing carbon emissions.   

Government regulations and incentives

Regulations for marine electric propulsion systems are based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60092-501, with each country’s classification having its own technical rules and regulations drafted separately.

SDC Correspondence Group on GHG Safety was established by the Sub-Committee to compile and analyse information related to nuclear and wind power. Development of draft amendments to SOLAS regulation II-1/41 enables batteries to be used as the main source of electrical power and lighting systems.

Restraining Factors

Increased initial costs

An increased initial cost required for large-scale production, as well as advanced lithium-ion batteries, battery management systems, and charging station infrastructure, elevating the project costs are challenging factor for low-budget operators who need clean battery systems. This may lead to restraining the market growth.
