A separate but related issue that adds to lithium-ion battery fire and explosion risk is non-declaration or misdeclaration of hazardous cargo, such as self-igniting charcoal, chemicals and batteries.
There have been a number of serious fire incidents in recent years where Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been reported as the source of, or contributing to fires on vessels. Allianz experts Capt. Rahul Khanna, Captain Randy Lund and Captain Anastasios Leonburg, share their thoughts on how electric vessels may impact safety onboard.
While there are many cargoes that can self-heat, ignite a fire and put the crew and ship at risk, the Felicity Ace accident drew specific attention to the potential dangers of transporting lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and electric vehicles (EVs) on cargo ships.
Allianz has highlighted that battery fires on vessels remain one of the biggest safety issues facing the shipping industry. There have been a number of serious fire incidents in recent years where Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been reported as the source of, or contributing to fires on vessels.
As a key component of electric vehicles (EVs) or electronic devices, the transport of highly inflammable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is increasingly impacting shipping safety as demonstrated by a number of fires on vessels such as roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) car carriers and container ships.
In August 2021, a container full of discarded lithium batteries caught fire while being transported by road to the Port of Virginia, where it was due to be loaded onto a container ship. The cargo was mis-declared as ‘computer parts’

Lithium-ion Battery Explosion Leads to Fire on Oil Tanker. 11/9/2023 NTSB highlights potential fire risks of lithium-ion batteries. WASHINGTON (Nov. 9, 2023) — The thermal runaway of a cell within a handheld radio''s lithium-ion battery led to a fire on an oil tanker last year while docked in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the National Transportation Safety Board said …
L''enquête sur les explosions de batteries au lithium joue un rôle essentiel dans la sauvegarde des vies et des biens. Chaque incident fournit des informations précieuses sur les vulnérabilités des batteries au lithium dans différentes circonstances, guidant les chercheurs et les fabricants vers le développement de technologies de batteries plus sûres.
Les principales causes d''explosion des batteries au lithium sont la surcharge et les courts-circuits. Une surcharge pendant le processus de charge peut entraîner une accumulation de chaleur excessive. Pour utiliser les batteries au lithium en toute sécurité, évitez de les surcharger, manipulez-les avec précaution et stockez-les correctement dans un endroit …
