Entering a new era for electrical vessel on inland waterways

The shipping industry is moving towards quickly decarbonizing its assets. There also a growing demand for new urban transportation (passengers, building materials, and equipment) with zero-emission propulsion. Zero-emission propulsion available today sustainable transport. common size of inland navigation vessels offers the opportunity to implement innovative technologies earlier than seagoing ships. clearly wide range solutions available, their own set pros cons. Batteries fuel cells are part list carbon-neutral or zero-emissions shipping. They become strong choice can be successfully combined alternative fuels. As result, electric hybrid currently among most important developments in sector. Bureau Veritas, as one major classification societies, proposes brief review state-of-the-art electrical solutions, considering technologies, safety constraints operational challenges, bringing light experience vessels, both constructions conversions well service. Although many parameters must considered, conclusion confirms that there already suitable it possible pencil near future association infrastructure supply chain.
