CATL Launches 'Ship-Shore-Cloud' Solution to Enhance Electric Vessel Operations
Contemporary Amperex Electric Vessel (CAEV), a subsidiary of CATL, has introduced a groundbreaking 'ship-shore-cloud' solution aimed at revolutionizing the zero-carbon shipping industry. This innovative system was unveiled at Marintec China 2025 and is designed to integrate the entire chain of ship operations, from on-board power systems to shore-based energy replenishment and cloud-based management. The solution addresses several challenges faced by the industry, such as high initial costs, insufficient energy infrastructure, and complex water conditions. By integrating battery systems, power systems, and intelligent navigation, the solution ensures stable and long-distance ship operations. Additionally, the shore-side infrastructure, including a charging and battery-swapping network, alleviates energy replenishment concerns. The cloud component, featuring the 'Yunfan' management platform and 'Beichen' navigation system, allows for remote monitoring and optimization of ship operations.
