Electric narrowboat powered by DBS Leoch


UK battery company, DBS Leoch, has supplied 24 2V lead carbon batteries to Mothership Marine to store energy for its new solar electric narrowboat.


The ten solar panels onboard the 57ft Shine narrowboat can provide up to 1.89kW of power per hour which is stored in the 28.8kW bank of batteries supported by the DBS Leoch batteries.


Henry James, DBS Leoch MD said that electric power is an innovative technology for the UK marine sector. “Mothership Marine’s brilliantly-designed solar electric and hybrid narrowboat is leading the way and we’re


delighted that Mothership Marine has chosen our range of Lead Carbon batteries to power the narrowboat aptly named Shine,” he said.


The Mothership solar electric narrowboat is a purpose-built solar powered boat with a 10kW electric motor and 6kW back-up generator. The boat incudes upcycled timber throughout and William Morris-inspired interior designs.


Humphree launches larger stabilisers


Swedish company Humphree has found an expanding market for its fin stabilisers that were developed from experience with interceptors. The range of fin stabilisers was developed to take advantage of the fast-acting electric servo motors that the company had developed to operate their interceptors. The speed of response of the motor is a vital element in any automatic stabilisation systems and Humphree quotes a response time of 0.7 seconds for their servo motors.


Currently the range of stabiliser fins available from Humphree extends to 1 sq.metre and for larger vessels the fins can be doubled up. The new fins planned to be introduced to the market in the next few months will be sized to meet the requirements of larger vessels and in the workboat sector one of the main applications is likely to be for survey and diving vessels which require a stable platform for their operations. The fins can operate to stabilise the vessel when underway as well as when stopped or operating at slow speed.
