Paris Welcomes Bleu Seine: First 40-Meter All-Electric Dining Vessel on Seine River with CALB's Advanced Battery Technology

PARIS - A new chapter in sustainable maritime transportation has begun as construction commences on Bleu Seine, Paris' inaugural 40-meter all-electric dining cruise vessel set to navigate the historic Seine River. Chinese battery innovator CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery) delivers its advanced liquid-cooled lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery solution, positioning this project as a global benchmark for green navigation.

Capable of hosting 130 passengers, Bleu Seine will offer daily lunch and dinner cruises upon completion, requiring robust energy solutions for high-frequency operations. CALB's marine battery system rises to the challenge with:

• High-Power Output enabling continuous daily operations

• Extended Cycle Life exceeding 4,000 cycles

• Distributed Thermal Runaway Management through pack-level safety architecture

• Space-Optimized Design overcoming vessel space constraints

• Full Compliance with ES-TRIN 2023 maritime standards

The battery system features dual-layer functional protection and adaptive thermal management, successfully addressing critical maritime challenges including compact battery compartment configurations and intensive charge-discharge cycles. This technological breakthrough demonstrates CALB's leadership in developing solutions for premium global markets.

"Bleu Seine represents more than sustainable tourism - it's a floating showcase of next-gen marine electrification," said a CALB spokesperson. "Our LFP technology delivers the perfect balance of safety, performance and environmental responsibility required for urban waterway applications."

The project underscores Europe's accelerating shift toward zero-emission maritime transport, with CALB's participation highlighting Chinese battery makers' growing influence in shaping global green transportation standards. As cities worldwide implement stricter emission regulations, Bleu Seine's operational success could catalyze similar eco-friendly initiatives across international waterways.
