Australian shipbuilder Incat Tasmania has officially commenced harbor trials for Hull 096, a 426 foot (130-meter) vessel that holds the title of the world's largest battery-electric ship, on the River Derwent in Hobart, Australia. The ship is powered by over 5000 batteries with a capacity of 40 MWh. To put that in perspective, it carries four times the battery power of any maritime vessel built before it.
