On Friday 12th June Zen Ordered the World's Largest Electric Container Vessels to Launch a New Category of Maritime Infrastructure. The two fully electric container vessels will form the first nodes in what the company describes as the world's first electric trade corridor network. The vessels represent more than a fleet expansion. They represent the beginning of a new operating model for maritime trade. For over a century, shipping has been organized around large diesel-powered vessels. In this special announcement to the industry at Advanced Maritime Technology Expo Fridtjof C. Eitzen, Co-founder & CEO of Zen will describe why he believes that electric propulsion is the first step toward a future in which trade corridors become software-defined infrastructure and how Zen is building the maritime infrastructure of the future through integrated electric vessels, marine batteries, charging infrastructure, fleet software and autonomous operations.
