Powership

Overview


The connection between the producing the electricity on the ship and the trading of the electricity become significant due to the new technologies and new aspects concerning maritime and energy industries. As a consequence of the need of the renewable energy and the threat of nuclear energy to the environment, the distance concerning producing electricity has been losing its importance.

Besides, the reasonable loss arising from the transmission cables give rise to the fact that authorities regarding the international market of electricity tend to amend the traditional way of trading and transmitting electricity. The new technology of shipping construction enables the governments to commerce electricity worldwide through “powership”. Hence, where there is an international trade relating to electricity between overseas parties, it is likely to be carried and produced by the vessels on the sea. In the light of this information, a new type of commerce of the electricity on sea is likely to need update rulings being able to provide and embody the issues, which may result from the conflict of interest between maritime, and energy industries.
