Ship Universe Maritime Tool
Marine Swappable Battery Container Sizing, Swap Time & Port Inventory Tool
Estimate battery containers required per vessel, usable energy per container, port swap time, charging bays, charging MW, charged staging inventory, containers in the charging cycle, total battery-container fleet and high-level infrastructure cost. Advanced mode models multiple vessel services sharing the same battery-swap port.
Currency selector changes display only. No exchange-rate conversion is performed.
Vessel Sizing
Energy per leg, usable container MWh, reserve and available deck positions
Port Operations
Swap lanes, berth occupancy, charger bays, staging stock and turnaround time
Infrastructure
Grid MW, battery inventory, annual charging energy and capital exposure
Vessel Energy Between Swaps
Simple mode converts average battery-supplied vessel load and time between swap ports into energy required for one operating leg.
MW
Include propulsion and hotel loads intended to be supplied by the swappable battery system.

Battery Swap & Port Infrastructure Results
Single vessel-service analysis
Enter vessel data
Enter vessel energy demand, battery-container specifications and
port charging assumptions to estimate battery inventory and swap infrastructure.
Planning estimate only.
Actual swappable marine battery systems require vessel-specific
electrical load analysis, route energy modeling, reserve philosophy,
structural and deck-strength review, securing arrangements, lifting
studies, electrical interfaces, cooling, ventilation, fire protection,
isolation, emergency response, battery management, charging controls,
grid studies, port traffic analysis, weather limits and applicable
flag, class and regulatory approvals. Swap duration depends heavily on
container geometry, crane or automated handling equipment, connector
design, access and operating procedures. The port-inventory calculation
is a planning approximation based on average daily throughput and does
not simulate individual vessel arrival times, charger queues, failed
containers or weather disruptions. Use detailed operational simulation
and approved engineering studies before procurement or deployment.
