Maritime Energy Storage System Powers Green Shipping Upgrade in the Middle East
Dubai, UAE – Tristar Group, a global leader in logistics and maritime services has announced the official delivery and commissioning of a hybrid-powered bunker barge in the UAE. Built by Turkish shipyard Akdeniz and equipped with a marine energy storage system from Huiyao Intelligence Technology, the vessel achieves zero-emission operation for over 90% of its runtime through intelligent coordination and shore power. This milestone sets a new benchmark for green fuel supply in the Middle East's shipping industry.
Tech Breakthrough: Ship-Shore Synergy Drives Zero-Emission Operations Huiyao Intelligence developed a custom marine-grade, high-energy-density battery system for this project, featuring the following core innovations:
Zero-Emission Synergistic Control:
TAutomatically connects to shore power for charging during port docking; Priority energy storage usage during operations. ; Hybrid backup power activates only in emergencies eliminating exhaust pollution and noise at the source.
High-Safety Reliability Design:
Battery system certified by classification societies for fire/explosion prevention; Built to withstand high-salt, high-humidity marine conditions. 24/7 operational safety for uninterrupted vessel performance.
Intelligent Energy Management:
Dynamically coordinates shore-battery-fuel systems; optimizes energy costs; reduces operational expenses by over 30% compared to traditional fuel-powered systems.
Tripartite Collaboration Leads Shipping Decarbonization Revolution
Tristar Group's Head of Energy Maritime Business stated: "Choosing Huiyao's marine energy storage solution is a pivotal step in fulfilling our '2050 Net-Zero Pledge.' This technology not only complies with the UAE's stringent port emission regulations but also redefines bunkering standards through zero-emission operations."
Huiyao Intelligence's Director of Marine Business Unit emphasized: "This partnership validates the maturity of our ship electrification solutions. We will advance 'ship-port-storage' synergy technologies to accelerate global port decarbonization."
Project Background & Industry Significance
As a global maritime hub, the UAE is actively advancing the greening of port vessels. This batch of hybrid bunker barges, scheduled for delivery in 2025, will reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 2,800 tonnes annually – equivalent to planting 150,000 trees. The large scale application of Huiyao intelligence’s marine energy storage system provides a replicable technological model for port equipment decarbonization across the Middle East and globally.
