Reliable onboard power for inland vessels

WEstack is a modular marine battery system that provides reliable onboard electrical power for inland vessels. Designed for demanding maritime environments, it stores and supplies energy safely and efficiently.

Its compact, scalable design allows easy integration into a wide range of vessels. The system reduces generator runtime while improving comfort on board — with a predictable payback time of approximately 3 years.

~3

Years to payback

Based on typical vessel operating profiles, driven primarily by optimising generator use and reducing overall fuel consumption.

Built for the demands of inland shipping

Every aspect of WEstack is designed to perform reliably in maritime conditions, with minimal disruption to operations.

Fast installation

Designed for fast and straightforward installation on deck. The system can typically be installed and commissioned within one day, minimising downtime.

Modularity

The modular design allows the battery bank to be expanded as energy requirements evolve. Additional units can be added later without major modifications.

Safety

Combines passive and active safety features. Integrated fire suppression provides passive protection, while multi-sensor monitoring continuously manages the system.

Status LED strip

360° light indication provides real-time visual feedback on system status and battery level. Active ventilation ensures stable performance and long-term reliability.

What WEstack does for your vessel

Reduced generator runtime

Enables extended periods of silent operation for improved onboard comfort and lower generator maintenance costs.

Lower fuel consumption

Optimises generator use, reducing overall fuel usage across a wide range of operating conditions.

CO₂ emission reduction

Directly lowers emissions by reducing engine hours during normal vessel operations.

No shore power needed

With WEstack onboard, shore power is no longer required during port stays.

Configuration options

Available in five configurations from 96 kWh to 480 kWh. Width scales with capacity; depth and height remain constant.
