Lithium-ion batteries: a new safety issue for ships? More and more ships are turning hybrid or fully electric and increasingly rely on lithium batteries and energy storage as a power source. The technology has proven itself reliable and powerful, but safety concerns, such as thermal runaway, still linger.
A lithium-ion battery energy storage system (LBESS) is usually composed of a low boiling point and a flammable organic electrolyte. High temperature, vibration, and other external environmental factors may trigger the thermal runaway of LBESS, leading to fire accidents [ 5 ].
Estimates suggest that almost all commercial vessels will soon house some form of electric storage system as part of their power systems, and lithium-ion batteries are becoming one of the most popular choices for ship operators.
Risk analysis The potential misuse of lithium batteries varies under different maritime operating conditions. As mentioned earlier, in storage and transportation environments, batteries are more likely to be subjected to thermal and mechanical abuse than electrical abuse.
Ocean shippers face numerous challenges when transporting lithium-ion batteries, primarily due to the batteries' fire risks and the complexities of maritime logistics. Ensuring that batteries are properly packaged and handled throughout the shipping process is crucial to preventing incidents.
A fire accident is the main type of accident during transportation of LBESS. Maritime transportation is characterized by high vibration, high temperature, high humidity, and possible collision, which may cause fire accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the fire risk during the transportation of lithium battery energy storage systems.
