Electric ships, CATL takes the lead
recently,CATL’s electric ship business revealed new progress and officially obtainedIssued by China Classification Society (CCS)of“Product Inspection and Testing Agency Accreditation Certificate”unique in the battery industry.
In other words, the ambition of “Ningwang” has always been to cover all “sea, land and air”. However, compared with the popularity of electric vehicles running on land, electric boats traveling in the sea are still in the early stages of development. Looking at the industry, everyone is actively The layout is slowly being mapped out, and what is often reported in the press is just that a battery from a certain company is mounted on a large pure electric luxury yacht. It is difficult to see a head-on competition in technology. So this time CATL is the first in the industry to win the “Product Inspection and Testing Agency Accreditation Certificate” by relying on product quality and testing technology. What does it mean for itself and the industry?
First, we must introduce China Classification Society (CCS) and the authority of this certificate.China Classification Society (CCS) is an organization that provides technical specifications and standards for ships, offshore facilities and related industrial products and provides classification inspection services.The certifications it issues are deemed to beShipping industry“pass”, but also product quality andcorporate reputation,Reputationproof.
The “Product Inspection and Testing Agency Accreditation Certificate” is a comprehensive assessment and certification of the company’s product quality and production process quality management system. CATL’s certification not only means that its marine products can pass its own laboratory testing and be more efficient , and it also means that its products, testing hardware conditions, battery quality control, automated production lines, test conditions, etc. are highly recognized by the classification society and are at the leading level in the industry.This is in the current competitive atmosphere of the industry where the number of assembled ships is still higher than that of assembled ships. CATL is clearly one step ahead of its peers and has pushed the focus of industry development to a higher level of product and technological innovation..
It is worth mentioning that CATL is also the first power battery company in the industry to be recognized and inspected by the latest inspection guideline “Inspection Guidelines for Pure Battery Powered Ships” from the China Classification Society (CCS).The core reason why CATL continues to maintain its lead is that it has the trump card of battery technology.. In fact,regardless“To the sky” or “to the sea”, the electric drive system is everythingThe essential,andNingde eraofbattery technologyundoubtedly let itFull of confidence.
Public information shows that relying on the technical advantages and brand potential accumulated in battery core technology, more than 500 new energy ships equipped with CATL marine power batteries have been put into use around the world.andThe layout of CATL is not limited toPowertrainThis single level buildsElectric ship ecosystem, launching business from four major modules: marine Pack, powertrain, battery replacement operation, and intelligent driving.At the China International Maritime Exhibition and Conference in December 2023, CATL released the industry’s first zero-carbon fishing boat charging and replacement comprehensive energy supplement platform, the industry’s first new energy ship full-scenario digital and intelligent cloud platform, and CATL The first zero-carbon charging and swapping comprehensive energy supply solution has officially becomeThe world’s first full life cycle solution provider for electric ships.
Although the entire electric boat industry is in its primary development stage due to high initial investment, insufficient economic efficiency, and mileage anxiety, driven by national policies and low-carbon development trends, the industry has strong momentum for rapid development. According to EVTank, the number of electric ships in China will reach 1,520 in 2025, and the number of marine lithium batteries will reach 1.4GWh; in 2030, there will be more than 10,000 ships, and the number of marine lithium batteries will reach 21.9GWh.
The trend of green intelligence has arrived.The electric boat isHeading towards the tens of billions of blue oceans.As the “number one player” in electric boats, CATL is expected to accompany the industry and accelerate Yang Fan’s voyage.
