Singapore, March 28, 2024 – Chinese battery giant CALB emerged as a key disruptor at the 2025 Singapore International Maritime Week (March 24-28), unveiling groundbreaking technologies poised to reshape marine electrification. The company's showcase drew industry attention with three strategic innovations targeting operational efficiency and sustainability in global shipping.

1. High-Speed Charging Revolution

The newly debuted L173F163 2C battery cell combines low-expansion graphite with high-kinetic electrolytes to deliver unprecedented 2C continuous/4C peak charging capabilities – a critical advancement for minimizing port turnaround times. Scheduled for Q3 2024 mass production, this solution addresses a longstanding bottleneck in electric vessel operations.

2. Unmatched Longevity

Concurrently showcased L173F320 marine cells leverage high-compaction architecture and defect-minimized graphite integration to achieve an industry-first 12+ year system lifespan. Industry analysts note this represents the world's first complete development cycle from concept to production-ready marine battery technology.

3. Modular Power Infrastructure

CALB's containerized megawatt solution introduces robotic automation to marine energy management. The 20-foot container system features:

• 5-minute automated battery swapping via proprietary robotics

• Dynamic load management for mixed fleet operations

• Scalable deployment for vessels ranging from cargo ships to luxury yachts

"These innovations position CALB as more than a component supplier – they're delivering turnkey electrification ecosystems," commented maritime energy analyst James Wong during the exhibition. With over 40% of global marine battery patents now held by Chinese firms, CALB's SMW showcase signals accelerated competition in the $27B marine electrification market.
