　　ABS and CATL announce collaboration to research next-generation lithium polymer battery propulsion technology for ships

　　According to the latest news from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), ABS and Chinese battery company CATL will work together to research the next generation of lithium polymer battery propulsion technology for ships.

　　The framework cooperation agreement signed by the two parties at Marintec stated that ABS and CATL will jointly study technical standards for battery-powered ships, including key safety technologies such as propulsion systems, charging systems, power battery cabin layout and fire control.

　　In addition to ship technical standards, the project also includes research on lithium polymer battery technical standards, including various battery material properties, combustion mechanisms, and safety system performance, such as thermal diffusion monitoring and early warning. The work will support revisions to the classification of lithium polymer battery inspection guidelines and drive improvements to the ship lithium polymer battery standard system.

　　Dr. Christina, ABS Vice President Global Marine, said: “Today’s automotive designs take advantage of new battery technologies such as lithium batteries, which were originally developed for the telecommunications industry and are now achieving considerable success. ABS and CATL are working together to "We are at the forefront of exploring how to harness the potential of new battery technology to power ocean-going vessels." In addition, battery technology can help save fuel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making this area of shipping a new and exciting one. field of study.

　　Qu Tao, assistant to the chairman of CATL, also said: "CATL's lithium-ion battery technology has been applied to electric passenger cars, buses, electric trucks and a range of other vehicles. We look forward to working with ABS to expand this technology to on board and realize a shared vision for a more sustainable society in the near future.”

　　It is understood that CATL is the global leader in the R&D and manufacturing of lithium-ion power and energy storage batteries. Its business covers the R&D, manufacturing and sales of new energy vehicle battery systems and energy storage systems. Last year, the company's global sales reached 21.31GWh, ranking first in the world (according to SNE Research).
