Скачать или смотреть Battery-powered vessels: the surprisingly risky green maritime tech

From electric shocks to toxic fires, there are a lot of new safety risks in the rapidly-expanding sector of battery-powered vessels - so maritime trade unions need to fight for training and safety standards to keep their members safe.

Odd Rune Malterud of the Norwegian Union of Marine Engineers is on the front line of this work. He's the chair of the ITF Maritime Safety Committee and speaks up for seafarer safety at the International Maritime Organization.

In this interview, he tells it straight about the risks of battery power and what to do if you don't feel safe on your vessel.
