New marine operations solutions supplier Lehmann Marine, a subsidiary of Höpen, has debuted a compact battery rack (COBRA) battery system that enables the hybridisation and electrification of ships.
Originally developed by another Höpen subsidiary Becker Marine Systems, COBRA is now part of Lehmann Marine’s product portfolio. The battery system can be used onboard ships on inland waterways and sea-going vessels to facilitate emission-free operations.
“After we pushed ahead with the development of COBRA at Becker Marine Systems over the past six years, the product stands on its own two feet,” said Godehard Gauf, managing director of Lehmann Marine.
The system can be equipped with up to eight battery modules and offers a capacity of 94 kilowatt hours per rack.
Lehmann Marine has already completed orders for German ferry operator Liinsand, which will use the solution onboard its hybrid ferry.
