D6.4
Impact of hyper chraging on shipping and maritime net-zero strategy
Deliverable D6.4 evaluates the potential impact of high-capacity (“hyper”) charging infrastructure on maritime business models, operational practices, and the shipping sector’s net-zero transition. As part of the Business Model and Stakeholder Engagement work package, the study builds on prior analytical tasks, combining technical reliability assessment, stakeholder consultation, and quantitative modelling to provide a comprehensive overview of opportunities and challenges.
​
The assessment employs a structured methodology, integrating Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) with Markov modelling, scenario design, and key performance indicators to capture both technical and operational implications. Expert input gathered during workshops, including one in Norddeich, validated assumptions and helped refine reliability risks, mitigation strategies, and dynamic operational behaviour over time. The study also evaluates the influence of different maintenance approaches and operational choices on overall system performance.
​
D6.4 applies the analysis to the Port of Gandia as a case study, examining how hyper charging can improve efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance air quality, while also considering social impacts such as workforce requirements and effects on port communities. The deliverable highlights how hyper charging could accelerate decarbonization in short-sea and regional shipping, optimize operational performance, and enable new collaborative business models between ports, shipowners, and energy providers.
​
The findings emphasize the strategic value of hyper charging beyond technical feasibility, recommending targeted policy support, coordinated infrastructure deployment, and integration into long-term maritime net-zero strategies.
D6.5
Full Hypobatt and hyper charging business plan and scaling strategy
Deliverable D6.5 presents the final output of the HYPOBATT Business Model and Stakeholder Engagement work package (WP6), focusing on defining commercially viable and scalable business models for high-power vessel charging in European ports. Building on prior analyses of technical feasibility, use cases, and regulatory frameworks (Tasks 6.2–6.4), this deliverable translates simulation results and stakeholder inputs into actionable business plans for port authorities and operators.
​
The study evaluates different business models for fast, multi-megawatt shore-to-ship charging, considering energy infrastructure, on-site renewable generation, and integration with stationary battery systems. It identifies key drivers for cost reduction and operational efficiency, including the timing of vessel charging, energy tariffs, and optimal sizing of port microgrids. Geographical and infrastructural factors are analyzed to ensure replicability and scalability across diverse European ports.
​
D6.5 provides structured guidance on financial, operational, and environmental aspects of deploying hyper charging systems, including revenues, costs, risks, and profitability. The deliverable serves as a practical business plan for port authorities, demonstrating how electrifying port operations and integrating high-power charging infrastructure can create economic value, reduce environmental impacts, and support the broader maritime net-zero transition.
