Comprehensive Guide to Safe Shipping of Lithium
Maritime filing is mandatory for lithium battery energy storage containers (Class 9 UN3536) shipped from Shanghai Port, as oversized units preclude Dangerous Goods Package Certification.
View DetailsBattery energy storage systems (BESS) are the most common type of ESS where batteries are pre-assembled into several modules. BESS come in various sizes depending on their application and their usage is expected to rise considerably in coming years.
According to the International Energy Agency, energy storage systems (ESS) will play a key role in the transition to clean energy. Sometimes referred to as “energy storage cabinets” or “megapacks”, ESS consist of groups of devices that are assembled together as one unit and that can store large amounts of energy.

However, a challenge with such systems is how they can be connected to the ship's system so that the crew will know which container is of concern. A combination of measures may be required to contain or bring a lithium-ion battery fire under control.
Standard ISO containers, even the larger 40ft models, have inherent size limitations. This restricts the total energy storage capacity that can be transported in a single container. For large-scale BESS projects requiring high capacity, containerised transport might not be feasible.
BESS with lithium-ion batteries is classed as a dangerous cargo, subject to the provisions of the IMDG Code. In the IMDG Code, there are multiple descriptions and shipping names for lithium cells and batteries, depending on their chemistry and whether they are stand-alone, within equipment, contained within vehicles or cargo transport units.
