From October 10–12,

the 2025 China International Battery Application Conference

and the 3rd China International New Energy Storage Development Summit

themed “Unbounded Energy · Empowering the Future with Chips,” took place in Shenzhen.

Shanghai Universal, a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Development,

was invited to exhibit at the event.

The company actively engaged in high-level technical exchanges,

and showcased its latest advancements and engineering capabilities in energy storage equipment.

At the Ship Electrification Forum,

Shanghai Universal delivered a keynote

titled “Design and Practical Exploration of Marine Containerized Mobile Power Supplies.”

The presentation covered the company’s standardization work, key technologies,

and risk control measures across the full lifecycle of

design, manufacturing, and operation—

drawing strong attention from experts and industry peers.

Driving Growth Across the Energy Storage Supply Chain

Since entering the energy storage battery enclosure market in 2022,

Shanghai Universal has achieved three consecutive years of rapid growth in both production

capacity and global market reach,

building what it proudly calls “the strongest armor”

for next-generation energy storage systems.

The company has been honored twice at the China International Energy Storage Conference & Exhibition

and received an award at the 7th Central SOE Quality Control Circle Competition.

Mobile Power for Ships

A standout achievement from Shanghai Universal’s R&D efforts is its contribution to the 700 TEU battery-powered container vessel launched in 2024.

The ship’s battery modules were fully designed and engineered by the company as part of its independent mobile power system project.

To date, the 48 battery units developed by Shanghai Universal

have successfully supported 63 round-trip voyages,

delivering an estimated 2,300 tons of carbon emissions reduction compared to traditional fuel-powered vessels.

These operations have provided valuable real-world performance data and maintenance insights,

laying a strong foundation for ongoing product upgrades,

safety standardization, and lifecycle optimization.

Pushing the Boundaries of Energy Storage

As China advances its national energy transition,

COSCO SHIPPING Development remains committed to investing in R&D

and driving collaborative innovation across the energy storage value chain.

The company is developing a containerized energy storage system

defined by high capacity, superior safety, exceptional reliability, lightweight design, and cost efficiency.

Shanghai Universal is also expanding the application scope of its containerized systems

across electric vessels, port energy storage hubs, and renewable energy integration,

delivering replicable, scalable, and sustainable green power solutions

that continue to create long-term value for customers and partners.

Through these initiatives, COSCO SHIPPING Development demonstrates the commitment of central state-owned enterprises to advancing China’s “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals.

The China International Battery Application Conference, hosted by the China Battery Industry Association, serves as a global platform for advancing collaboration in battery technology and applications. The event highlights cutting-edge innovations across sectors such as new energy storage, electric ships, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, heavy-duty electric trucks, and specialized engineering vehicles—accelerating the green transformation of industry and society worldwide.
