Swiss-headquartered energy storage specialist Leclanch\u00e9 SA (SIX: LECN) reports that in partnership with Sunrise, Fla.-based Century Ship Services<\/a>, it has successful installed 4 MWh of Navius MRS-3 marine battery systems in a hybrid ocean cruise vessel.<\/p>\n This marks Leclanch\u00e9\u2019s first succesful installation of a Navius MRS-3 system in the ocean cruise segment<\/p>\n The vessel is part of a new class of battery hybrid<\/a> cruise ships, designed for carbon-neutral operations in sensitive environments such as the Norwegian fjords.<\/p>\n The batteries are now fully operational and allow the vessel to operate in hybrid mode.The vessel, measuring 140 meters in length, has been extended by 11 metres to accommodate battery rooms and hydrogen systems. The ship will be the 11th addition to the undisclosed operator\u2019s growing hybrid fleet.<\/p>\n \u201cThe marine industry is rapidly evolving, and this project demonstrates our strong belief in electrification as a key enabler of the energy transition. Partnering with Leclanch\u00e9 gives us confidence that we\u2019re working with a reliable Swiss-based innovator with extensive expertise in marine electrification,\u201d said Cevdet Duz, managing director, Century Ship Services.<\/p>\n \u201cThis partnership marks another important milestone in Leclanch\u00e9\u2019s expansion into the cruise segment,\u201d said Guillaume Clement, global VP e-marine at Leclanch\u00e9. \u201cOur Navius MRS-3 is quickly becoming the system of choice across the maritime spectrum, and this collaboration further demonstrates the industry\u2019s growing momentum toward electrification.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Leclanch\u00e9 installs 4 MWh marine battery system in a cruise vessel<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
