At sea, reliable power must be always be available, when it is needed and for as long as it is needed. Battery failure is not an option. Mariners, safety services and search and rescue teams know they can rely on Saft batteries.

Having the right capability and expertise to help ship industry answering future challenges on reduced ship emissions, Saft proposes advanced battery systems for electrical propulsion (full-electric, hybrid-electric) as well as for auxiliary systems.

What is more, many modern marine applications like solar and wind energy systems and underwater vehicles require efficient, autonomous battery power, optimized for low maintenance and capable of storing high levels of energy, in a small installation footprint.

Reliability you can count on

Saft batteries have been providing reliable power in offshore and onshore marine applications for over 100 years. Their rugged design can be relied on to deliver crucial emergency power in even the toughest marine conditions – in corrosive, humid environments, extreme temperatures, and vibration and remote locations – with very low maintenance.

Saft has the right primary or rechargeable battery technology to suit virtually any marine application:

• Boats and ships – including emergency systems back-up, lighting, engine starting, electrical propulsion and auxiliary systems
• Personal safety – including life jackets, emergency location transmitters and life rafts
• Equipment on board ships – including lighthouses, buoys and beacons, UPS (uninterruptible power supplies) for onshore and offshore installations and satellite positioning systems
• Propulsion and auxiliary systems - Electric power mode (full or hybrid electric) for passenger ships (ferries, shuttles), leisure boats (yachts), workboats (harbour tugs...) and underwater vehicles
