What's not mentioned - how long does it take to charge this 140m beast and with a 300km (what's that in real measurements, <200 miles??) range, where is it going to that is not suited for a zero emissions pipeline?

"Renewable" was repeated 9 times. This shit is as laughable as using EVs.

an electric cruising range of up to 300km

So about 150km. After all, that 300km range is theoretical on an empty ship, no headwind and no swells. Like the Ford Lighting, its range will go way down in real life.

the electric tanker can hold a total of 241 MWh

So how long will it take to charge this thing? Consider current capacity of 241 MWh. A "typical wind farm" can output 2 MWh x 5 or 10MWh per day. So this ship would take almost a month to charge. Bigger wind farms would be faster. But imagine a port with moderate sized wind farms. This beast would dock and then suck every watt of power away from your "renewable" source. Leaving you without any energy while it charges itself. Great plan.

These things are such garbage. Imagine how much raw material they have to waste to create this completely stupid use for batteries.

Takes a month to go 200 miles. See tesla's aren't bad! - libs everywhere.

The good news: the ship arrived at its destination. The bad news: the batteries are now fully discharged.

I wonder how long the lithium fire will burn for?

What a fucking moronic waste of resources.

Yea, but it has no smoke stack.

The whole thing would become one.

Wait till it bursts into flames and sinks releasing all those toxic chemicals into the water.

300km range? That's pitiful for ocean transport. I mean I guess it can do stuff in canals or something, or near-range power resupply and such.

Of course it's so big it won't fit there.

I apologize , I misunderstood. This boat is designed to purposely park/crash just under one of the domes at Santa Onofre nuclear thus replacing the heat was provided by the failed nuclear boiler, heat and then fed back to itself to recharge the battery fire. It's an engineering marvel of perpetual motion. Wish I would have thought of it first. Maybe I could patent anyway.
