This call seeks to demonstrate innovative battery energy storage systems to increase the range of fully electric operation in maritime vessels above 400 Gross Weight Tonnage (GWT) or inland river vessels above 86 meters by 40% compared to 2024 state-of-the-art baselines. Projects should focus on novel onboard energy storage concepts, energy efficiency measures, rapid in-route charging solutions, and concepts to extend battery life. Safety assessments and guidelines should be developed, building on existing standards. Replication case studies for other waterborne applications are required, along with business cases and training materials for seafarers and shore-based personnel.
