State-owned China Ocean Shipping Group (COSCO) unveiled the impressive Greenwater 01, an all-electric container ship that measures 119.8 meters in length, 23.6 meters in width, and 9 meters in depth. This groundbreaking vessel boasts a top speed of 19.4 km/h and an astounding battery capacity of over 50,000 kWh1.
What makes the Greenwater 01 truly remarkable is that it’s the world’s first 10,000-tonne pure electric container ship. Its innovative design includes battery containers similar to standard 20-foot containers, each offering 1,600 kWh of electricity. Depending on the journey, the number of battery packs can be adjusted by modifying the onboard battery containers. As a result, this electric giant is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a whopping 12.4 tonnes for every 100 nautical miles sailed.
