Bi-directional becomes reality

Aqua superPower's launch of the Virtual Bunkering for Electric Vessels (VBEV) project marks a groundbreaking advancement in maritime electrification. This initiative demonstrates how electric vessel batteries can serve as energy storage solutions, providing flexibility and balancing services to harbors, ports, and the broader grid. ​

By enabling bidirectional energy flow, V2G technology not only reduces the need for costly grid upgrades but also enhances the integration of renewable energy sources. This approach offers a sustainable pathway to meet the increasing energy demands of electrified vessels.​

At Searbridges, we recognize the transformative potential of such innovations in driving the maritime industry's transition to zero-emission operations. The VBEV project exemplifies the critical role that smart energy management and advanced charging infrastructures will play in shaping a sustainable maritime future.​

Let's embrace and support these pioneering efforts to decarbonize our ports and waterways!
