D5.1

Report on site preparation & insallation of the charging system

This report describes WP5 Task 5.1 of the HYPOBATT project, which focuses on preparing testing sites for the installation and demonstration of automated charging systems for electric vessels. The task covers detailed planning for site preparation, logistics, safety, and regulatory approvals, ensuring the demonstrator components from previous work packages (WP3 and WP4) can be properly installed and tested.

​

The primary testing sites are FRISIA’s ferry docks in Norddeich and Norderney for the fully electric catamaran “Frisia E-I” (EKAT), with a secondary test environment in Haren, Germany, at a shipyard vessel. Site preparation includes construction setup, procurement of vessel- and site-specific adapters, and coordination of seasonal challenges such as storms and flooding.

​

The testing phase, scheduled from October 25, 2025, to January 2026, will follow seven sequential phases, covering installation, demonstration, technical validation, and operational assessment, including docking operations, automated connection and disconnection, and emergency procedures. This work lays the foundation for demonstrating the technical and economic viability of battery-electric shipping in real-life port conditions.
