UK-based SME Coastal Workboats Ltd (CWL), Coastal Workboats Scotland, and BK Marine Ltd will come together to deliver a UK-first demonstration of a fully-electric workboat and charging station.Shipping (international and domestic) is responsible for 3.4% of the UK's GHG emissions (DfT, 2019). A standard diesel vessel produces 23.3kg CO2/mile, translating into 181.5t CO2/year. Electric boat propulsion is emission-free, bypassing CO2, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emissions, having an additional impact at reducing ocean acidification. Electric powered boats are currently restricted to pleasure boats as there has been no demonstration of an electric workboat. The challenges workboats face are:-Charging: fast ferry turnaround requiring rapid charging.-Low or no grid power available to support powering EV vessels in remote-access areas.-Integrated design of power systems, propeller and battery installation to ensure acceptable functionality and durability.-Fire safety: Improvements in battery chemistry and packaging reduce fire risk. However, the improved cells are still pending approval.This project will include a four week demonstration of an inter-island workboat in the Shetland Islands, West Burrafirth to Papa Stour, which will run twice daily, five days a week, and with a 45 minute journey time one-way. This will be commenced once the vessel has been sea trialled and all testing completed. CWL's E-LUV will be the UK's first electric workboat demonstrator, exhibiting integration of hull design, propulsion, energy storage and fire safety to meet regulations and inform future electric workboat guidance. CWL will be working closely with the MCA during the project to support the creation of a new regulatory framework.

总部位于英国的中小企业海岸工作船有限公司(CWL)、苏格兰海岸工作船公司和BK海洋有限公司将联手提供英国首个全电动工作船和充电站的演示。航运(国际和国内)负责英国3.4%的温室气体排放(英国交通部，2019年)。一艘标准柴油船产生23.3公斤二氧化碳/英里，换算成181.5吨二氧化碳/年。电动船的推进是零排放的，绕过了二氧化碳、一氧化碳、碳氢化合物、颗粒物和氮氧化物的排放，在减少海洋酸化方面产生了额外的影响。电动游艇目前仅限于游艇，因为还没有电动工作船的演示。工作船面临的挑战是：-充电：快速渡轮周转需要快速充电。-为远程访问区域的电动汽车船只提供支持的电网电力很低或没有电网电力。-电力系统、螺旋桨和电池安装的集成设计，以确保可接受的功能和耐用性。-消防安全：电池化学和包装方面的改进降低了火灾风险。该项目将包括在设得兰群岛、西伯拉菲尔斯岛到Papa Stour的岛间工作船的四周演示，该船将每天运行两次，每周五天，单程旅行时间为45分钟。这项工作将在该船进行海试并完成所有测试后开始。CWL的E-LUV将是英国第一个电动工作船演示，展示船体设计、推进、储能和消防安全的集成，以满足法规并为未来的电动工作船指导提供信息。CWL将在项目期间与MCA密切合作，以支持创建新的监管框架。
