How much would the battery weigh to power a container ship?

I might look that up

Edit: Holy crap

quote:

On July 26 2023, COSCO Shipping launched a 700TEU electric container vessel at COSCO Shipping’s No.1 Heavy Industry Shipyard at Yangzhou. The 120 meter long ship has a fully electric drive with 1,800 [kW] of total installed power. It is able to swap battery packs en route, enabling it to covering over 600 nautical miles of routes on the Yangtze River fully electrically without having to moor and recharge.

costs for the battery pack are estimated at €16-€25M,



But here's the best part
