Currently, Lithium-ion batteries are best suited for powering ships. However, there are many different types of Lithium-ion batteries, each of them optimized for a different type of application. In maritime battery systems we mainly use NMC, LFP and LTO. The smallest building block of a battery system is the battery cell.
When selecting a battery system for a ship, what matters most is how the battery will be used regarding the required energy, (dis)charge power and the number of times the batteries will be charged and discharged, also known as the number of cycles.
All batteries can be used for all types of ships, but some are more suitable than others depending on factors such as weight, volume and costs. These all need to be assessed to create a complete picture of the battery system design and to be able to compare different types of battery systems with each other.
Most battery-powered or hybrid-battery powered ships today are small vessels traveling fixed routes, such as ferries and offshore supply vessels. The marine industry has already seen a handful of projects for battery integration onboard ships like Ponant’s Commandant Charcot and Louis Dreyfus’ Wind of Hope.
In order to evaluate the potentials and limitations of battery-electric propulsion for container ships, the economic performances of a conventional diesel combustion engine and three different lithium-ion cell types are directly compared to each other, forming a total of four power system configurations (cf. Fig. 1).
For ship owners, risk analyses are crucial for onboard installation, ventilation, hazardous areas, fluid leakage and more. The first question ship owners and operators face when considering batteries is cost. As of 2016, the price of battery power was $227 USD per kilowatt-hour.

Rechargeable aluminum-air batteries (AABs) are in extremely early stages of research. They show a high theoretical specific energy of 2,791 Wh/kg which is comparable to that of LABs [5]. The possibility of a battery with specific energy comparable to LABs while using materials that are much cheaper gives AABs a lot of potential benefit. CONS
