"The new flagship vessel for environmental campaign group Greenpeace will
feature a 3 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery from marine energy storage firm AYK
Energy.
The new 75-metre vessel, under construction in Spain and due for delivery in
2027, is planned to be the most environmentally advanced ship in Greenpeace
International’s fleet, and will incorporate a hybrid propulsion system that
will include hydrogen fuel cells and engines capable of using methanol as fuel
powering two electric drive propellers, as well as 1,746-square-metres of
sails.
Solar panels and battery packs from AYK will provide additional onboard power.
“We are extremely proud to be supporting this transformative Greenpeace
International project alongside our integration partner,” said Chris Kruger,
AYK Energy founder.
“It’s a flagship vessel not only for Greenpeace International, but for the
future of low-emission shipping. This deal reflects growing recognition of
AYK’s expertise in safe, high-performance marine batteries. AYK’s batteries
will be critical to enabling silent, zero-emissions operations during sensitive
campaigns and operations in emissions-restricted areas.”
The vessel, under construction at the Freire Shipyard in Spain, has been
designed to be as close to completely free from fossil fuels as possible at
launch, and capable of transitioning to 100 per cent green power as soon as
technically possible."
