Technical FAQs 4

Are battery energy storage systems a threat to maritime safety?

12. March 2025 In recent years, demand for the maritime transportation of containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) has grown significantly. However, due to the high safety risks associated with energy storage containers, their transportation poses new challenges to maritime safety.

What are the risks associated with the maritime transportation of Bess?

The maritime transportation of BESS primarily involves the following risks: Lithium battery safety risks Lithium batteries, as the core component of energy storage systems, are characterized by high energy density and power output. However, their safety directly determines the overall safety of the energy storage system.

What are the risks of energy storage systems?

Overweight risks Due to the large size and mass of energy storage systems, individual units usually weigh over 30 tons. They face higher risks of dropping, impact and vibration during loading, unloading, and transportation.

How do I identify a lithium battery hazardous goods container?

Except for vehicles driven by lithium batteries (pure electric or hybrid), containers containing lithium battery hazardous goods must have Class 9 hazardous goods labels and UN number markings affixed to each side and each end of the container (for lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, on two opposite sides).
