  • EVE & GWT partner to enhance affordable, reliable marine Battery Energy Storage Solutions globally.
  • EVE's advanced LFP technology extends battery lifespan, reducing ownership costs significantly.
  • GWT to provide lifecycle solutions, backed by strategic spare parts storage in Europe.

In a strategic move poised to transform marine electrification, EVE Energy and Green Whale Technology (GWT) have entered into an agreement to deliver high-performance marine Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) globally.

This collaboration merges EVE Energy's advanced lithium marine battery system expertise with GWT's marine engineering and lifecycle service proficiency.

Marine energy storage

The alliance has already made strides by delivering Asia's first BV-classed marine battery container in record time.

By joining forces, the two companies aim to make marine energy storage more affordable, reliable, and safer while enhancing customer proximity. The partnership is structured as a back-to-back agreement, ensuring EVE Energy provides comprehensive collaboration support.

EVE's active balancing technology

The new BESS, underpinned by innovative collaboration, offers several notable features

The new BESS, underpinned by innovative collaboration, offers several notable features. Utilising EVE's active balancing technology, these systems boast a potential lifespan of up to 15 years, exceeding that of existing LFP systems, thereby significantly reducing total ownership costs.

EVE distinguishes itself as the sole provider of 3C continuous LFP marine batteries, which often outlast NMC cell-based systems in various applications. The union of large-scale production, advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry, maritime expertise, cost benefits, data security, and global service capacity positions this solution as transformative within the market.

Trust and seamless collaboration

Godfrey Wang, CEO of Green Whale Technology, remarked, "GWT is very proud of this partnership, especially because we are a young company."

"This really strengthens our ability to provide lifecycle solutions to global customers. I would like to thank the entire EVE team for their trust and seamless collaboration, and we look forward to growing together."

Europe-based cloud services and spare parts

GWT is crafting a Netherlands-based cloud service platform to ensure local data compliance and security

To enhance global customer support, GWT is crafting a Netherlands-based cloud service platform to ensure local data compliance and security, addressing geopolitical risks.

The availability of spare parts in Norway and the Netherlands bolsters timely after-sales support, and joint research and development efforts promise ongoing innovation.

Production capacity and cost

Ranking among the largest battery manufacturers worldwide, EVE Energy capitalises on its extensive ESS system factory capacity, exceeding 10 MWh daily, to ensure scalability and prompt delivery. Moreover, the 3C marine battery system is uniquely priced below USD 300 per kWh in the current market.

In summary, EVE Energy’s Head of Marine & Port, Yong Cong Xiong stated, "By collaborating on all the key elements in BESS development, manufacturing, delivery and service, we aim to ensure that customers receive the best available battery technology, backed by global support throughout the product lifecycle of our systems. We are very proud that we can now extend the system’s lifetime to 15 years with an experienced local service provider, GWT, and look forward to seeing them deployed in the maritime markets."
