German shipbuilder Meyer Werft unveiled Project Vision, the world's first fully battery-electric cruise ship concept capable of carrying 1,856 passengers on a 902-foot vessel. The ship would use existing maritime technology and recharge at shore-power stations in European ports, cutting emissions by up to 95 percent compared to conventional fuel-burning cruise ships. With Norwegian battery specialist Corvus Energy providing the power system, the first ship could enter service by 2031 if orders are placed this year.
