Are battery energy storage systems safe aboard ships?
In recent months, Gard has received numerous inquiries about the safe transportation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) aboard ships. This article addresses some of the key risks, regulatory requirements, and recommendations for shipping such cargo.
Are lithium-ion batteries a dangerous cargo?
BESS with lithium-ion batteries is classed as a dangerous cargo, subject to the provisions of the IMDG Code. In the IMDG Code, there are multiple descriptions and shipping names for lithium cells and batteries, depending on their chemistry and whether they are stand-alone, within equipment, contained within vehicles or cargo transport units.
What are the classification and shipping requirements for lithium-ion batteries?
The classification and shipping requirements for lithium-ion batteries depend on their size and energy capacity (Watt-hours). For standalone batteries. Strict UN-certified packaging. IUMI strongly supports the SoC limit of 30% for air freight and advocates similar principles for maritime transport.
What is a battery energy storage system?
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are the most common type of ESS where batteries are pre-assembled into several modules. BESS come in various sizes depending on their application and their usage is expected to rise considerably in coming years.
