ECHANDIA MARINE UK LIMITED

What ECHANDIA MARINE UK LIMITED does

Echandia Marine UK Limited is the UK operating entity of Sweden-based Echandia Group AB (publ), a developer and supplier of maritime battery energy storage systems built around Lithium-Titanium-Oxide (LTO) cell chemistry. The company's product portfolio comprises Echandia Core (cost-optimized system launched June 2026), Echandia Robust (heavy-duty platform), the next-generation Echandia Ultra (launched March 2026), a proprietary Battery Management System (BMS), a Design Tool for system integrators, and Service & Support offerings. Technical differentiation centers on LTO chemistry's cycle life, thermal safety, and cold-weather performance relative to NMC/LFP alternatives used in EV and stationary storage applications.

The company serves a diversified customer base spanning commercial ferry operators, harbor tugs, naval and coast-guard vessels, icebreakers, and offshore platforms. Named customers and programs include Copenhagen-area ferry operators, Molslinjen, Scandlines, Gotlandsbolaget, the San Francisco REEF ferry (WETA), Incat (Tasmania high-speed ferries), India's Green Tug Transition Program across multiple ports, NATO naval frigates, and Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers via ABB. Approximately 100 battery systems have been delivered globally.

The business model is project-based system sales with long aftersales service revenue tied to vessel lifecycles of 15–25 years. Go-to-market is indirect-to-direct: systems are integrated by tier-1 maritime electrical and shipbuilding partners including ABB, Siemens, Kongsberg, Damen, Austal, and Cemre, while larger naval and government programs are engaged more directly. Operations span Sweden, the UK, the United States (Marysville, WA — Buy America-compliant production), Singapore, China, and Denmark, with active market development in India and Australia. Pricing is contract-specific and tied to vessel class, certification scope, and system capacity; revenue is lumpy by nature of large multi-year vessel programs.

Core offering

Echandia develops and manufactures heavy-duty lithium-titanium-oxide (LTO) maritime battery systems for fully electric and hybrid vessel propulsion. The company sells a portfolio of three battery systems (Core, Robust, Ultra) plus a Battery Management System, supported by lifecycle services and an online design tool, serving commercial shipping, defense, and offshore operators worldwide.

Product overview

Echandia offers a portfolio of marine battery systems built on lithium-titanium-oxide (LTO) cell technology. The product line consists of three core battery systems (Echandia Core, Echandia Robust, Echandia Ultra) differentiated by performance characteristics and use cases, supported by a Battery Management System (BMS) for monitoring and control. Core serves energy-demanding operations with cost optimization (5-10 cycles/day), Robust provides maximum safety and durability for military and harsh environments (up to 150,000 cycles), and Ultra delivers maximum cycle life with lightweight compact design (30,000+ cycles). The portfolio is complemented by Service & Support for lifecycle management and the Echandia Design Tool for system sizing. All systems support ultra-fast charging up to 12C, operate without thermal runaway risk, and are certified by DNV, Bureau Veritas, and Lloyd's Register.
