- The electrification of marine transport is accelerating due to several factors including passenger demand for more environmentally friendly options, regulations to reduce emissions, and improving economics of battery storage technologies.
- The addressable market for maritime battery and fuel cell technologies is projected to grow to $10 billion by 2030 as adoption increases across newbuild and retrofit vessels.
- Battery-based marine electrification provides benefits beyond just propulsion such as reduced maintenance needs, ability to meet peak power demands quickly, backup power capabilities, and lower emissions.

Battery solutions payback time1 across vessel types compared to battery useful life (years)
10+ years
Average battery
useful life
Payback time can vary depending on
• Operational profile of the vessel
• Availability and price of shore power
• Public founding schemes
• Requirements for reducing pollution in
ports or Eco zones
Payback period for repowering is much
shorter as power electronics and interface do
not need to be replaced
