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.
These systems consist of multiple devices assembled into a single unit capable of storing significant amounts of energy. Among the various types of energy storage systems (ESS), BESS are the most prevalent, especially those utilizing pre-assembled lithium-ion battery modules.
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.
HUIN International Logistics offers expert, safe transport solutions for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), ensuring reliability and compliance throughout the entire shipping process.
