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SME Coastal Workboats Ltd（CWL）、Coastal Workboats Scotland和BK Marine Ltd将携手合作，在英国首次展示全电动工作船和充电站。航运（国际和国内）占英国温室气体排放量的3.4%（DfT，2019）。一艘标准柴油船每英里产生23.3千克二氧化碳，相当于每年181.5吨二氧化碳。电动船推进是无排放的，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，对减少海洋酸化有额外的影响。目前，电动船仅限于游艇，因为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。低或没有电网电力可用于支持远程访问区域的电动汽车船舶。动力系统、螺旋桨和电池安装的一体化设计，确保可接受的功能和耐用性。防火安全：电池化学和包装的改进降低了火灾风险。然而，改进后的单元仍有待批准。该项目将包括在设得兰群岛的西伯拉弗斯至帕帕斯图尔进行为期四周的岛间工作船演示，该船将每周五天每天运行两次，单程航行时间为45分钟。这将在船只进行海上试航并完成所有测试后开始。CWL的E-LUV将成为英国第一艘电动工作船演示船，展示了船体设计、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南提供信息。CWL将在项目期间与MCA密切合作，支持建立新的监管框架。
