Electrifying
the ocean.
The scope and scale of electric shipping is about to change.World-leading marine batteries. Future-native ships, designed from the keel up for electric and autonomous operation. From cell, to ship, to seamless trade.
Battery systems, type-approved and on the water.
Marine-grade. Class-approved. Plug-and-play. Large-energy capacity — delivered from our factory in Norway.
Above Class. Subsea-grade.
Watertight modules with direct liquid cooling and full water-immersion survival — safety characteristics above industry standard.
World-leading energy density.
High volumetric energy per m³ — more MWh fit into less hull, leaving the ship to carry cargo, not battery.
Low cost at high performance.
Priced for operators, not prototypes. The delta per hull exceeds most other cost levers on the ship.
Plug-and-play. Battery-room classed.
Delivered in a container classified as a battery room — lifted in, bolted down, plugged in. Weeks, not months.
A ship radically simplified.
Electric propulsion removes most of the mechanical complexity of a conventional ship. What remains is a compute platform that happens to move cargo.
Deploy Tier 1. Design Tier 2. Architect Tier 3.
Every Zen voyage is fully electric. Your cargo crosses the ocean with zero direct emissions, on the most advanced short-sea platform in operation today — and gets quieter, cheaper, and more predictable with every ship we add.
Reduced crew with remote support.
Zen deploys here today. ≤7 aboard, shore support in the loop.
Remote operation, minimal onboard crew.
Economics designed for this state. Shore-based watch; skeleton crew aboard.
Fully unmanned open water.
Shore multi-vessel supervision. Architected now as a software upgrade.
Full autonomy, no per-voyage supervision.
The endgame. Uncertain timeline — certain destination.
Charge at every port we call.
Zen is building dedicated high-power charging at the ports we operate from — fast, scheduled, and reliable. The same network is opening up to third-party electric vessels and supporting the local grid when ships aren't plugged in.
For Zen vessels
Dedicated high-power berths at every port on the route. Fully charged on schedule, every call.
For other operators
Book a slot for your electric vessel. Same speed, same reliability, pay-per-kWh pricing.
For the local grid
Idle capacity feeds back when vessels aren't plugged in — stabilising the port's electricity supply.
Electric proves the point.
Autonomy ends the game.
We design the future we want to experience, beautiful, efficient and inspiring.
Simple and seamless trade, creating value for our customers.
Electric and autonomy is like yin and yang, in perfect harmony.
