It is designed to carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles across the River Plate, between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Uruguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with over 250 tonnes of batteries and more than 40 megawatt-hours of capacity, Hull 096 powers eight electric-driven water jets. Incat describes the energy storage system as four times larger than any previous maritime installation. Chairman Robert Clifford called the project the company\u2019s most ambitious and complex to date, expressing hopes to produce more sustainable ships globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts highlight the ship as a valuable test case for electrifying shipping, which accounts for 3% of global emissions. Dr Liam Davies from RMIT University noted that lessons from Hull 096 could guide future electric container and cargo ships, advancing low-emission maritime transport worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian boatbuilder Incat has launched what it claims to be the world\u2019s largest battery-powered ship, marking a significant advance in sustainable maritime transport, The Guardian reported.
