    Does the word “battery” or the word “ship” confuse you?

        Battery runs the ship, running ship charges the battery.

        Profit?

        Of course it is, very effective for forcefully replacing LNG tankers!

    It’s a ship that carries electricity instead of gas. When it docks it hooks directly to the grid instead of a gas power plant.

  Are you able to show me some of these battery ships replacing LNG ships?

  Have never seen a battery ship before? How do they unload? How fast?

    yeah uh… im also kind of unsure what OP meant here. there is no direct battery analogue to an LNG tanker because there’s nothing to tank. ships that run partially or entirely on batteries are absolutely a thing, but they’re not doing it in order to move the energy around.

      …maybe they like charge up at some lush port with a cheap grid surplus, sail across the atlantic to like, i don’t know, maybe texas during a polar vortex, supplement that grid for a couple of days, return + repeat for like a couple dollars’ profit?..
