4 FAQs about Oil platform uses Nicosia collapsible containers for fast charging

Are offshore charging stations a viable solution?

Offshore charging stations have emerged as an innovative solution, despite increased investment and extended voyage durations. Here we develop a route-specific model for the optimal placement and sizing of offshore charging stations to assess their economic, environmental and operational impacts.

Could power-to-ammonia refuelling stations replace heavy fuel oil ships?

We further investigate power-to-ammonia offshore refuelling stations as a proxy for e-fuels, which could potentially replace heavy fuel oil ships for routes over 9,000 km with only a 5% grace period. Offshore charging stations could be a promising solution to enhance green shipping.

Could offshore charging stations improve green shipping?

Offshore charging stations could be a promising solution to enhance green shipping. This research considers their optimal placement and sizing, extending the economic range of renewable ships to 9,000 km without compromising shipping efficiency.
