What is electrification in shipping?

Electrification in shipping is the process of reducing carbon emissions from traditional ship engines by utilizing electric propulsion systems. As concerns about climate change continue to grow, many shipping companies have begun to explore alternative energy sources to power their vessels. This has led to an increase in the development of electric-powered ships, which run on batteries or hybrid systems that combine electric power with traditional fuels. Electrification in shipping has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the shipping industry, making global trade more sustainable and environmentally responsible.
