Abstract
The few existing all-electric cargo ships were analysed. Their parameters and efficiency as profits were compared to fuel-powered vessels at different ranges and speeds. Electric ships were shown to be more profitable at short routes and less profitable on long routes. The reasons behind this result were explained and discussed. Some electric ships design guidelines were derived.
