A handout photograph taken on September 17, 2025 and distributed by Zero Emission Service on September 24, 2025 shows a battery being charged in order to be used on the vessel MS Den Bosch Max Groen, an emission-free container transport on inland waterways, at the port of Rotterdam. At a windswept container park near the sprawling port of Rotterdam, a crane slots a 30-tonne white battery into a transporter vessel, enough to provide eight hours of zero-emissions freight. The ship, the MS Den Bosch Max Groen, will ply the waterways between the ports of Rotterdam and Den Bosch using a pioneering system of swappable batteries, hailed as the world's first commercial deployment of the technology.
