EST-Floattech, a Dutch maritime battery supplier, has joined forces with EMS (Electric Marine Support) to participate in Rhenus' ambitious fleet enhancement project. The project involves the development of three new inland shipping vessels, 'Mannheim I+II,' 'Wörth I+II,' and 'Ludwigshafen,' aimed at sustainable waterway transportation. The vessels feature innovative hybrid propulsion systems, including diesel-electric and fuel-cell technology integrated with EST-Floattech's Octopus Series high-energy batteries. Notably, 'Mannheim I+II' operates with a pioneering hydrogen-electric propulsion system, significantly reducing emissions compared to conventional vessels. Rhenus emphasizes the technological advancements in the project, highlighting the vessels as low-emission flagships optimized for shallow waters. The collaboration with EST-Floattech ensures the integration of advanced battery solutions, supporting the goal of emission-free sailing. By providing reliable battery technology, EST-Floattech aids in realizing sustainability objectives in the maritime industry. The partnership with Rhenus and EMS underscores the commitment to innovative and eco-friendly shipping practices, setting new standards for emission-efficient maritime transportation.
