Port emissions reduced to zero

Finneco I, Finneco II and Finneco III are the largest cargo ships on the Baltic Sea, and they boast new technology being introduced, tested and further developed. This is why you can find such large batteries in the Finneco II engine room.

- The capacity of the lithium-ion batteries on Finneco II is 5 MW. They are charged while sailing and then used while in port, reducing port emissions to zero, first motorman Tiangha explains.

Ship batteries are new technology, and using them has required the crew to learn new techniques.

- So far, the batteries have worked well,’ continues Tiangha.

- However, their new technology involves several safety issues. The battery room must not be allowed to warm up, so it is constantly being cooled. Especially in the summer, we must make sure the temperature doesn’t rise too high.
