Electric powered Shipping!

 Underway?

Norway is leading the way in electric engine power for vehicle  roll on/off ferries and smaller shipping from Rhine type barges to coasters and there is a demand that other vessels in the oil industry and up-lifting vessels along with cruise liners are the next in line for these conversions.

There are many concerns in relation to breaking down in rough seas and drifting on to rocks, if not colliding with other vessels, but so far many vessels will still have their tradition fossil fuel burning engines as back-up?

The future does look bright and with the advancement in theology and the options of already entering hydrogen powered vessels conversions and new ship design can only make things better to cut the horrid carbon emissions world wide!
