5. Cross-Sector Battery Systems Innovation Network - Mission
To create an open and collaborative cross-sectoral community for researchers and innovators
in battery manufacturing (including next generation batteries), the related supply chain and end-
users. The community, which will be served by a dedicated online space, will help to:
• open new markets for the battery industry, by introducing this community to new sectors,
thus support the growth of UK economy
• promote innovation in batteries by identifying technical gaps for their introduction to
various sectors
• help decarbonise a wide range of end-users from rail, maritime, aviation, construction etc.
by enabling the adoption of batteries, thus support the Net Zero agenda.

Membership Organisation Leading the Leisure, Superyacht and Small Commercial Marine
Industry
Established in 1913
+1500 Members providing the boats, equipment, facilities and services that enable 4
million people to enjoy boating and water-sports on the coasts and inland waterways of
our country

13. 2019 - New government focus on clean air
Clean Air Strategy
Emissions from Transport - Maritime
Government Objective is for 0% Net emissions by
2050

14. Changes for the future fleet
• Clean Maritime Plan - By 2025 its expected
that:
• All vessels operating in UK waters are
maximising the use of energy efficiency
options.
• All new vessels being ordered for use in UK
waters are being designed with zero
emission propulsion capability.
• Zero emission commercial vessels are in
operation in UK waters.

15. Size of the UK newbuild market

16. Size of the existing/retrofitting market
Boats last a long time
The average age of a vehicle on the road is 7.8 years.
2030 ban on petrol and diesel = fundamental change within 10 years
The average age of a boat is between 40 – 50 years. Inland boats have no end of life yet….
The 0% NET emissions levels by 2050 mean all boats built since 2000, and some from the
early 20th century may all need retrofitting.

17. Size of the recreational existing/retrofitting market

18. Current Alternatives
Alternative propulsion
• Alternative fuels, GTL, Bio, etc …….
• Traditional Hybrid (Diesel or Petrol generated)
• Pure Electric
• Alternative Hybrid (Fuel Cell, LPG, ……)
Current electric only systems are suffering the same problem as the automotive sector,
range and charging facilities.
Boats are high energy usage

19. Normal Combustion engine range = 200 – 300 NM

22. Current pressure is consumer led. They are asking for products we have yet to build.
Regulation is yet to be confirmed but long term strategy is being developed by Gov for
transition to 0% over the next 30 years
The market
Small number but high cost new vessel market
High number of the existing high value market for retrofitting
The Industry
Many SME OEM’s – Cottage Industry except for 3 - 4 big companies + £80m turnover

27. The Artemis eFoilerTM electric propulsion system
is a truly transformative innovation that will help
commercial operators across the world
dramatically reduce their carbon emissions.
The system provides significant range at high-
speed, whilst also reducing operational costs
through substantial fuel savings.
The innovation combines high power density
electric drivetrain into an autonomously
controlled hydrofoil. A combination of America’s
Cup, aerospace, and motorsport technologies.
The Artemis eFoilerTM is subject to a number of
pending patent applications in multiple
countries.

30. Batteries are one of very few available
options for shipping to operate entirely
without emissions, at least for shorter
distances.
However, unlike most other mobility sectors,
which predominantly tend to switch partly
or completely to an EV battery in order to
meet emissions targets, a mixture of
solutions have a role to play for boats and
ships due to the sheer scale of the power,
energy and distance requirements typical
from the sector.
The numbers of vessels operating with
batteries has steadily increased year on
year.

31. In the last few years lithium-ion batteries
have really taken off in maritime, due to the
recent drop in price driven by
developments in the automotive industry.
While maritime battery systems are
different from those used in cars, requiring
a different battery management system,
higher power and energy delivery, the
battery cells are essentially the same.
Automotive

32. Batteries are most common in the car and
passenger ferry segment, with offshore
vessels, cruise ships and fishing vessels also
utilising battery technology.
Leisure boats are usually personally owned
and small enough to make the jump to pure
electric with today’s technology, typically
travelling short distances.
Coastal vessels, like tug-boats, can hybridise
easily with batteries comparable in size to a
pure electric car (100kWh), saving hundreds
of thousands of pounds by reducing fuel
consumption over the course of a year.
We are beginning to see deep-sea vessels
using batteries to optimize their power
management, both in terms of propulsion
and auxiliary power use, to save fuel and
reduce maintenance costs.

Where are these ships operating?

34. The majority of vessels operating with
batteries today, are hybrids, using a
combination of different technologies.
Around 75% of the entire fleet.
Passenger ferries have the highest % of
pure electric vessels. Ferries are also the
largest vessel capable of becoming pure
electric because of the well-planned routes,
and the regular opportunity to charge.

35. As in automotive, the initial outlay is
normally higher, as the investment in the
battery and power system and the
additional charging infrastructure required
can be expensive.
However, the energy source and
maintenance costs tend to be lower for
electric and hybrid vessels. Depending on
the oil and electricity price, operational
costs are lower, as well.
The first big all-electric ferry in the world,
Ampere, which has operated between the
Norwegian ports of Lavik and Oppedal
since 2015, saves 60 per cent on average in
fuel costs while cutting CO2 emissions by
2,680 tonnes per year.

36. Vessels operating with batteries are mainly
Newbuilds. For retrofits, offshore supply vessels
have a solid business case.

37. Use of batteries will continue to rise in
Maritime.
New manufacturing facilities will continue
to bring battery costs down, and different
cell chemistries like solid state, could have
a significant impact on the future of
transport - once they are ready for mass
production.
Other enabling technologies, like our
Artemis eFoilerTM electric propulsion
system for high-speed vessels, will help
drive further increase in the uptake of
battery solutions.
Whether the battery solution is pure
electric or hybrid, batteries will become a
standard component on board all vessels
in the future.
