Il mercato delle navi elettriche è stato valutato 3,82 miliardi di dollari nel 2021 e si stima che crescerà a un CAGR del 10,3% dal 2021 al 2028.
Un mercato delle navi elettriche barca è qualsiasi imbarcazione o nave la cui tecnologia di propulsione primaria è un sistema di azionamento elettrico. Può essere una barca o una nave elettrica a batteria piena, a celle a combustibile a idrogeno, ibrida elettrica, da rimorchiatori, traghetti, navi mercantili e chiatte a barche da turismo, pescherecci, yacht da crociera e veicoli sottomarini senza pilota (UUV). Le navi elettriche sono azionate elettricamente, a differenza delle navi convenzionali con motore diesel. Queste navi utilizzano un dispositivo di accumulo della batteria come fonte di energia per azionare i motori elettrici. Numerosi tipi di batterie possono essere utilizzati in una nave elettrica, comprese batterie agli ioni di litio, batterie al piombo e celle a combustibile. Le navi elettriche sono principalmente traghetti e piccole navi passeggeri sulle vie navigabili interne che navigano interamente con l'elettricità. Percorrono solo brevi distanze con circa 80 km con una singola carica. Inoltre, le navi a energia solare vengono utilizzate anche su navi leggere che richiedono una bassa potenza. Tuttavia, il fabbisogno energetico delle navi mercantili non può essere soddisfatto da un sistema completamente elettrico a causa del peso elevato; quindi le navi mercantili utilizzano un sistema ibrido diesel-elettrico.

Impatto della pandemia di COVID-19 sul mercato delle navi elettriche
La pandemia di COVID-19 ha influenzato negativamente il mercato delle navi elettriche. La pandemia ha portato a impatti globali senza precedenti sulla mobilità umana. Nell’oceano, le attività basate sulle navi sono influenzate dalle severe restrizioni sui movimenti umani e dai cambiamenti nel consumo delle merci. Alcuni paesi hanno chiuso il settore delle crociere a causa della pandemia di COVID-19. Tuttavia, alcune compagnie di crociera stanno cercando di riprendere le loro attività durante la pandemia. Le attività umane nell’oceano sono state radicalmente modificate dalla pandemia di COVID-19, con segnalazioni di restrizioni portuali e cambiamenti nei modelli di consumo che hanno avuto un impatto su diversi settori marittimi, pesca, traghetti passeggeri e navi da crociera. Tuttavia, in alcune regioni, la spedizione delle merci è stata dichiarata essenziale durante il blocco, il che ha creato un'opportunità redditizia per il mercato delle navi elettriche.

Aumento dell'adozione di sistemi di propulsione ibridi ed elettrici per l'ammodernamento delle navi
< p>L'ammodernamento delle navi sta guadagnando interesse e attira gli armatori/costruttori navali a prolungare la durata delle loro navi esistenti. Tale processo offre la possibilità di ridurre il consumo di carburante e rimanere aggiornati con le ultime soluzioni ecocompatibili come procedura economicamente vantaggiosa. Il retrofit sta diventando una pratica comune nel settore marittimo. I costruttori navali si stanno muovendo verso l’automazione, integrando navi di nuova costruzione e adattando le navi esistenti con sistemi di propulsione ibridi ed elettrici. Questo sistema è una scelta conveniente per l'ammodernamento di navi obsolete con un enorme potenziale di ammodernamento, inclusi traghetti, navi portacontainer, navi da crociera, rimorchiatori e navi da carico generale. I costruttori navali scelgono di aggiornare le navi con un sistema di propulsione ibrido-elettrico o con un sistema di propulsione completamente elettrico poiché si tratta di un’opzione relativamente più economica rispetto all’acquisto di una nuova nave. Inoltre, diversi costruttori navali europei stanno attivamente adeguando la loro attuale flotta navale con sistemi di propulsione ibridi ed elettrici. Ad esempio, secondo l’articolo pubblicato da Riviera Maritime Media Ltd, nel marzo 2020, i proprietari di navi da rifornimento offshore (OSV) hanno investito nell’ammodernamento delle flotte alimentate a diesel-elettrico/GNL con propulsione ibrida a batteria, una mossa che sta dando i suoi frutti. per il noleggiatore, l'armatore e le questioni ambientali in Norvegia. Questi fattori hanno portato all'adozione di sistemi di propulsione ibridi ed elettrici per l'ammodernamento delle navi.
Approfondimenti di mercato basati sul tipo
In base al tipo, il mercato delle navi elettriche è segmentato in navi elettriche a batteria, navi elettriche ibride plug-in e navi ibride elettriche. Il segmento delle navi ibride elettriche ha guidato il mercato nel 2020. L’affidabilità offerta dalle navi ibride elettriche supporta la sua domanda grazie all’uso di sistemi di propulsione supplementari e ad una maggiore velocità, che possono ridurre il rischio di guasti e coprire distanze maggiori in meno tempo. Inoltre, la propulsione ibrida elettrica delle navi può essere azionata in due modi: elettrico (tramite diesel-elettrico o a batteria) o meccanico (azionamento diesel diretto). Inoltre, gli armatori o le società di spedizione e logistica di tutto il mondo preferiscono le navi ibride elettriche poiché consentono un minore consumo di carburante e aiutano a ridurre i costi operativi. L'uso della propulsione diesel-elettrica a bassa potenza e della propulsione diesel diretta che necessita di elevata potenza, ovvero la navigazione in acque interne con diverse condizioni di velocità, consente una riduzione dei costi operativi nella nave elettrica. Questo è un modo più intelligente per utilizzare l'energia disponibile e risparmiare sui costi del carburante utilizzando la propulsione ibrida elettrica delle navi.

Frequently Asked Questions
Europe dominated the Electric Ships market in 2020 with a share of 48.6% and is expected to continue its dominance by 2028. North America is the second-largest contributor to the global Electric Ships market in 2020, followed by Asia Pacific.
The major companies in Electric Ships market are BAE Systems, Duffy Electric Boat Company, Fjellstrand AS, X Shore, General Dynamic Electric Boat, Hurtigruten, MAN Energy Solutions, PortLiner, Siemens Energy, and VARD AS
The major Application in Electric Ships includes cruise ship, ferries, tankers, bulk carriers, fishing vessels, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and others. In terms of market share, the electric ships market was dominated by the ferries segment in 2020.
The electric ships market, by type is segmented into battery electric ships, plug-in hybrid electric ships, and hybrid electric ships. The Electric Ships market was dominated by the hybrid electric ships segment in 2020.
Nowadays, hybrid propulsion technology is commonly used for small vessels such as ferries. For instance, according to the article published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, in January 2019, the UK shipbuilder Ferguson Marine had built Catriona, a £12.3 million (US$ 15.82 million) diesel-electric-battery-power hybrid ferry for CalMac to use on its Clyde and Hebridean routes. However, with the development of marine electric propulsion technology and alternative fuels such as fuel cells, there is a massive opportunity for manufacturers to work on hybrid-electric propulsion systems for larger ships. The stricter emissions targets have encouraged shipbuilders to install a hybrid propulsion system on existing or new vessels. The research & development (R&D) department for ABB marine activities in Norway stated that the hybrid propulsion systems significantly reduce both fuel consumption and emissions, according to the article published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology in January 2019. Therefore, with the growing emission control norms, the adoption of hybrid-electric propulsion systems is increasing among larger ships, creating a massive opportunity for manufacturing larger ships using hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
The idea of retrofitting ships is gaining interest and is attracting shipowners/shipbuilders to extend the lifetime of their existing ships. Such a process provides a chance to reduce fuel consumption and stay up to date with the latest eco-friendly solutions as a cost-effective procedure. Retrofitting is becoming a common practice in the maritime industry. Shipbuilders are moving toward automation, integrating new build ships, and retrofitting existing ships with hybrid and electric propulsion systems. A hybrid-electric propulsion system is a convenient choice for retrofitting outdated ships. Ships have a large retrofit potential, including ferries, container vessels, cruise ships, tugboats, and general cargo ships. Shipbuilders choose to retrofit ships with a hybrid-electric propulsion system or a fully electric propulsion system as it is a relatively cheaper option than purchasing a new ship. These factors mentioned above have resulted in the adoption of hybrid and electric propulsion systems for retrofitting ships.
