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.
How do you transport a lithium battery?
Packaging and Labeling Use Approved Packaging: Transport lithium batteries in packaging specifically designed and approved for batteries. This helps prevent physical damage and minimizes the risk of short-circuiting. Insulate and Protect: Ensure batteries are insulated and protected from physical damage during transit.
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.
How do you store a lithium ion battery?
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Store and transport lithium-ion batteries at moderate temperatures. Avoid exposing batteries to direct sunlight, high heat, or freezing temperatures, which can affect battery performance and safety.
How should a lithium battery pack be shipped?
Typically, lithium battery packs should be shipped at a state of charge about 30% to minimize the risk of thermal runaway. Terminal Protection: Cover battery terminals with insulating tape or use terminal caps to prevent accidental short-circuiting. 4. Handling and Storage
How do you protect a lithium battery pack?
For example, we will use electrostatic film to wrap the lithium battery pack for insulation, use foam to fix the battery to prevent shaking, and 5-layer corrugated cardboard boxes / 4G UN cartons and pallets to protect your batteries from physical damage during shipping and handling, maintaining the integrity of the battery pack.
