Battery-powered ships are economical and efficient

The findings by three scientists from Berkeley in California suggest that the electrification of container vessels is more economical on voyages of up to 5,000 km and three to five times more efficient than e-fuels such as green hydrogen and ammonia. Over 40% of global containership traffic could be electrified cost-effectively with current technology, the
