#Summary: CATL expects pure electric vessels to be capable of ocean voyages within 3 years
CATL says **pure-electric ships will be able to cross oceans within 3 years**.
The company, already dominant in EV batteries, has been expanding into marine electrification since 2017 and now supplies batteries to almost **900 vessels**, giving it about **40% of the global electric-ship market**.
CATL’s marine systems are already used on inland and coastal vessels, and the company now believes full **open-sea electric navigation** is close. Their first pure-electric coastal tourist ship, *Yujian 77*, began operating this year, proving the tech viable for real maritime use.
They’re also developing electric infrastructure such as a **battery-powered waterborne vertiport** with Autoflight for eVTOL operations.
CATL remains the world’s largest EV battery maker, with **355.2 GWh installed** January–October 2025 and a **38% global market share**.
Nice. A lot of folks will be surprised.
The whales most positively because decarbonization will reduce freight traffic by 40% and I expect the electric ships to be quieter
This is fantastic news, marine transport is the dirtiest around, bunker fuel is super gross and polluting and a lot of waste just gets dumped out at sea too.
