Charging systems for hybrid and fully-electrical ships
Innovative quick-charging infrastructure and onshore power supply for ships
The hybridization and electrification of ships is now firmly established and is a large step towards more efficiency and sustainability. Baumüller is also actively shaping the future of shipping. Baumüller can already supply drive systems with batteries, hydrogen and methanol units.
We have continued to develop the products for the marine industry over many years and are now one of the leading suppliers of modern ship drive systems. The electrification of ships is accompanied by a demand for high-performance charging infrastructure.
Baumüller closes the gap between the drive system and the charging station and offers the complete charging technology, not only for quick-charging systems but also for the onshore power supply.
Baumüller customers benefit from:
- Our own broad range of products and services from the converter through to the energy management and battery management system
- Know-how: High-quality and reliable products for charging stations
- Continuous engineering
- Fast and customer-focused decision-making routes: The experience and advantages of a worldwide operating, successful and innovative family business with tradition
- Worldwide service
Baumüller is a partner of shipyards, system integrators and ship owners and is itself a supplier of complete systems.
Charging points: Precise-fitting system architecture for quick charging
We offer the charging infrastructure you want for nighttime charging and periodic charging: Innovative charging solutions for hybrid and fully-electric ships.
We support you with precisely what you need for your order and undertake projects, not only for the charging technology alone but also for charging and drive technology, and work with you to close the gap in your existing technology.
Charging stations at ferry berths
Source: ZinusAre you looking for an innovative charging system? In a DC quick-charging system, the mains inverter from AC to DC is located at the ferry berth. Additional battery storage can reduce the mains connected loads and thus enable cost-optimised supply.
The necessary infrastructure on the ship is therefore small and the battery capacities on the ship can be reduced due to the availability of higher charging capacities. This saves weight and optimises the usable space on the ship. With this concept, the charging stations make emission-free shipping even more appealing.
Our know-how extends from manual charging stations for nighttime charging with plugs and a maximum charging capacity of 22 kW, to manual charging stations with CCS2 standard and a charging capacity of up to 425 kW per plug through to automatic charging stations, either via a tappet with plug or a crane solution with up to 4MW of power.
We also demonstrate our flexibility in the different charging solutions for hybrid and fully-electric ships.
We offer the following standard alternatives:
- Autonomous telescopic charging via loader crane
- Tappet charging system
- Manual charging stations
The charging period depends on the number of plugs. We offer CCS 2.0 sockets up to max. 500 A, depending on the drive dimensioning and charging time. In future, this will be extended to up to 3,000 A per plug by the MCS standard.

Charging point, passenger ship MS Ceresio
Baumüller, together with the Società Navigazione del Lago di Lugano (SNL), electrified the MS Ceresio that was built in 1931 with a diesel drive, and also planned and implemented the quick-charging system.
The ship has an 840 kWh battery and is fully charged in only 20 minutes by a manual charging station. A 2 MW transformer was installed at the charging point for the quick charging.
Onshore power supply: Emission-free and cost-effective during laytimes
Source: ZinusUntil now, diesel generators had to secure the power supply so that the on-board system also functioned during laytimes in the port. An environmentally-aware alternative for the power supply is the onshore power system. Onshore power systems use the onshore electricity system and thus enable emission-free power supply for onboard services.
Onshore power supply systems are located directly at the berth in a port or even on a landing stage and are also more cost-effective to operate than units run on marine diesel.
