The Australian Naval Construction Company has launched the world’s largest ship exclusively with batteries.
The Guardian publication informs this.
The representatives of the company named the ship a huge leap before in the field of ecological navigation and the most important project ever done.
The ship, with a length of 130 meters, will run between the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, and Uruguay. It will work entirely based on batteries and transport up to 2100 passengers and 225 cars over the river.
“We build the best ships in the world here, in Tasmania, over four decades, and Hull 096 is the most ambitious, most complex and most important project I have ever realized,” said the president that Robert Clifford.
The vessel is equipped with over 250 tons of batteries and has an installed capacity of over 40 megawatts. The energy storage system is connected to eight electrically operated water jet engine, and its power is four times higher than any other previous marine system.
