AYK Energy to Supply Battery System for CSL Australia's Bulk Carrier Under Construction

en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to a statement from AYK Energy, the company will supply a 6,758 kWh battery system for the MV Yampu. The vessel is an 11,000 dwt diesel-electric self-unloading bulk carrier currently under construction in China for CSL Australia.

The system will form the core of the Yampu's hybrid diesel-electric configuration, with approximately half of the vessel's energy needs expected to come from shore power and onboard energy storage. The design leaves room for a future conversion to fully electric operation. The Yampu will be used in the limestone trade in South Australia, replacing the MV Accolade II. Operated by an Australian crew, the vessel is owned and operated by CSL and is currently under construction at the Jiangnan Nanyang Shipyard in China.

CSL and Adbri named the vessel on March 12. The name Yampu was selected through a vote by all Adbri employees and originates from the Narungga and Kaurna languages of South Australia, meaning dolphin. AYK Energy is a marine battery system developer founded by Chris Kruger in 2018. CSL Australia is part of The CSL Group, providing bulk shipping services along the Australian coast.
