Electric ships

Electric ships are vessels powered primarily by electricity instead of traditional fossil fuels like diesel or coal. They use large batteries, fuel cells, or renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to generate electricity, which then drives electric motors to propel the ship. This approach reduces emissions, noise, and pollution, making ships more environmentally friendly. Electric propulsion systems can also improve efficiency and allow for quieter operation, which is beneficial for activities like research or wildlife observation. As technology advances, electric ships are becoming a sustainable alternative, especially for short trips, ports, and specialized maritime applications.
