The world’s biggest 10,000-ton pure electric transport ship called Gezhouba was launched in Yichang, in western Hubei province of China.
 
The ship is 129.98 m long, 22 m wide and 7.7 m deep with a draft of 6.5 m and a maximum deadweight of 13,740 tons.
 
It will mainly transport bulk commodities found along the Changjiang River.
 
The ship has 12 sets of containerised lithium-ion battery packs, totalling 24,000 kWh.
 
The batteries can be charged quickly and replaced in just 30 minutes, offering a cruising range of up to 500 km, enabling long-distance cargo transportation.
 
This futuristic ship integrates 4G, 5G, BeiDou navigation, and satellite communications into a multi-link network, allowing for remote navigation control and automated berthing and unberthing operations.
 
It is also a pioneer of smart management across the ship, port and shore. After its commissioning, electric propulsion has replaced 617.5 tons of fuel oil, decreasing carbon dioxide emissions by around 2052 tons and contributing to green navigation in inland waterway shipping.
 
Per reports, the vessel achieved breakthroughs in areas like new energy propulsion, navigation control, and supporting infrastructure while successfully validating several core technologies, including massive-capacity batteries and DC integrated power systems.
