12. March 2025 In recent years, demand for the maritime transportation of containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) has grown significantly. However, due to the high safety risks associated with energy storage containers, their transportation poses new challenges to maritime safety.
Overweight risks Due to the large size and mass of energy storage systems, individual units usually weigh over 30 tons. They face higher risks of dropping, impact and vibration during loading, unloading, and transportation.
The maritime transportation of BESS primarily involves the following risks: Lithium battery safety risks Lithium batteries, as the core component of energy storage systems, are characterized by high energy density and power output. However, their safety directly determines the overall safety of the energy storage system.
The requirement for shipping is significantly lower GHG emissions on a well-to-wake scope which is generally the case for green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis (breaking down water molecules to hydrogen and oxygen), and blue, which primarily comes from natural gas where the production plant has a carbon capture and storage system .
He added that Penang Port is exploring the possibility of setting up solar panels on stilts on shallow water pockets in its premises, “like a solar farm”. On the other hand, he said the global cruise business is expected to “go fully shore-power” by 2030.
The Penang government is assessing several strategic locations, including dams and coastal water bodies, to implement floating solar projects as part of efforts to strengthen its Renewable Energy (RE) sources. — NSTP/GHAZALI KORI Get breaking news fast — follow us on WhatsApp and Telegram.
He said that land-based solar farms were not ideal for Penang due to the scarcity and high value of available land. Therefore, he said, installing solar panels on water surfaces was seen as a more practical alternative. "Floating solar is a real possibility for Penang because we are surrounded by water.
The Star has learnt that this entails creating a solar farm that floats on a sheltered quarter of Penang’s harbour stretching over 4ha, the size of three World Cup football fields. On a sunny day, it is expected to churn out 30 megawatts of electricity, which theoretically will be enough for 6,000 homes.
As the energy landscape evolves, hybrid solar and wind projects with integrated battery storage are becoming the new standard rather than the exception. Industry analysts estimate that by 2030, more than half of new renewable projects will include some form of energy storage.
As the global energy sector transitions to cleaner sources, a major shift is taking place in how solar and wind power are deployed. Increasingly, new solar and wind projects are being paired with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), a development that is helping to overcome one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy—intermittency.
Solar and wind facilities use the energy stored in batteries to reduce power fluctuations and increase reliability to deliver on-demand power. Battery storage systems bank excess energy when demand is low and release it when demand is high, to ensure a steady supply of energy to millions of homes and businesses.
Co-locating energy storage with a wind power plant allows the uncertain, time-varying electric power output from wind turbines to be smoothed out, enabling reliable, dispatchable energy for local loads to the local microgrid or the larger grid.

SolaX containerized battery storage system delivers safe, efficient, and flexible energy storage solutions, optimized for large-scale power storage projects. As the world increasingly transitions to renewable energy, the need for effective energy storage solutions has never been more pressing.
The first step in implementing a containerized battery energy storage system is selecting a suitable location. Ideal sites should be close to energy consumption points or renewable energy generation sources (like solar farms or wind turbines).
Energy storage is a system that can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. Sometimes it is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone.
Understanding its Role in Modern Energy Solutions A Container Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) refers to a modular, scalable energy storage solution that houses batteries, power electronics, and control systems within a standardized shipping container.
