Are you able to show me some of these battery ships replacing LNG ships?
Have never seen a battery ship before? How do they unload? How fast?

Somebody is trying to sell LNG tankers to rich idiots. We’re not switching to LNG, that was the 1980s through the 2000s. Solar, wind, and batteries are coming online. So LNG shops are actually starting to be replaced by battery ships.
If LNG was still a good ship to be purchasing, they wouldn’t be selling them off.

yeah uh… im also kind of unsure what OP meant here. there is no direct battery analogue to an LNG tanker because there’s nothing to tank. ships that run partially or entirely on batteries are absolutely a thing, but they’re not doing it in order to move the energy around.

Battery runs the ship, running ship charges the battery.
Profit?

I found that page too but I don’t think that is what OP was talking about

Of course it is, very effective for forcefully replacing LNG tankers!

It’s a ship that carries electricity instead of gas. When it docks it hooks directly to the grid instead of a gas power plant.
