The EMSA Guidance on the Safety of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) On-board Ships aims at supporting maritime administrations and the industry by promoting a uniform implementation of the essential safety requirements for batteries on-board of ships.
A battery is an electrochemical system that can store electric power with very high responsiveness. This allows the operator the freedom to store unused or excessive energy and then utilize the energy when it would benefit the operation of the ship.
For battery powered vessels, the battery system shall have sufficient useable energy for safe return to port also if one battery system fails. Battery space shall be accessible for replacement of parts of the system. Battery spaces shall provide protection against external hazards (e.g. fire, mechanical impact).
Main priorities for a battery system for maritime applications are safety, reliability and sufficient life for the system to be economically feasible. All components in the battery systems must be of good quality to secure a safe and reliable system throughout the system’s lifetime.
2.1.2 Where batteries are the main source of power required for ship propulsion, two battery systems are to be provided. With one battery system not operational, the capacity of remaining battery system is to be sufficient to ensure safe journey to the nearest port.
