Shift partners with Stadt

Importer
STADT is partnering with Canada-based battery manufacturer Shift to use its lithium-ion battery-based energy storage systems (ESS) in its hybrid or fully electric propulsion systems.

STADT Lean Propulsion® delivers efficient, reliant and noise-free propulsion systems designed for the lifetime of the vessel. STADT propulsion technology can be interfaced with future and new power-sources of any kind. STADT has supplied electric propulsion and own drive technology to more than 150 vessels in their global operations.

Shift’s lithium-ion battery-based energy storage systems (ESS) are used for hybrid or fully electric propulsion systems for marine, offshore and inland waterway applications. Shift employs a patented integrated cooling system, with each battery cell encased in its own cooling channel. The company is responsible for some of the first electrified vessels in the market, including the first electric ferry in southern Europe in Aveiro, Portugal, and a pilot program to electrify harbor vessels at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.

Earlier this month, Shift received Type Approval from both the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) and Japanese Marine Standards (NK) for its energy storage system. In March 2022, it received approval from ABS.
