Batteries lead the charge in the June issue of Splash Extra

Just how far can batteries take shipping around the globe? Including ships on order, the number of vessels equipped with batteries has recently hit the 1,000 mark, and yet even the leading manufacturers concede there remain significant shortfalls in batteries’ power to sustain deepsea trades. In the June issue of Splash Extra, this month’s in-depth feature looks at the pros and cons of batteries and gives readers a realistic timeline of how this technology might progress. 

The lead story this issue maps where are the hotspots for Russian oil ship-to-ship transfers, identifying surprising locations in the Middle East and East Asia to go alongside well-known destinations in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. 

Elsewhere in the subscription title there’s regular markets commentary, the latest from the sale and purchase scene, the pick of the month’s best analyst commentary while our columnist reports from his first trip back to Greece in 18 years. 

Published on the last Wednesday of every month and priced for as little as $200 a year, Splash Extra serves as a concise monthly snapshot, ensuring readers are on top of where the shipping markets are headed. For more details on Splash Extra subscriptions, click here.
