INTRODUCING

Although Marine Battery Consulting was recently launched as a brand, it is the result of over 25 years of experience, led by Carlos Freire Trigo, in the field of maritime battery systems and onboard electrical and electronic technologies.

Carlos’ expertise in technology, innovation, and business includes the creation of an electronics and electrical engineering and systems integration company, the development of a lithium battery manufacturing corporation, and independent business and technical consulting, among others — with projects spanning high-performance racing yachts, superyachts, and commercial vessels.

The path of batteries in the maritime context.

Marine Battery Consulting has been created as a natural response to the growing need for a neutral technical and business guidance in an increasingly complex market—under a clear and battery-focused identity—, helping shipyards, naval architects, owners, and battery manufacturers navigate the fast-evolving maritime battery landscape.

Carlos’ personal vision and goals in this field.

Carlos knows first-hand that the maritime battery industry requires a specific approach to address the challenges and diverse applications that set it apart from other more mature battery industries.

The strength Carlos brings through Marine Battery Consulting lies in providing clarity in many areas that remain overlooked within the sector:

— Specifications Guidance → Understanding the different technologies, key performance indicators, quality standards, and safety features that must be considered when selecting the most suitable battery system.

— Strategic Catalyst → Improving technical to business communication and fostering mutual understanding between manufacturers, clients, and stakeholders — acting as a liaison among them.

— Tech. Support & Management → Providing technical and management support across multiple areas —from product design and project management to safety, regulatory compliance, technical assistance, commissioning, and systems integration.

— Optimal Investment → Ensuring fair economic conditions, identifying potential hidden costs, and offering pricing guidance.

— Time to market → Guiding companies from other industries into this sector with a solid and focused approach — shortening time to market and ensuring a smooth, well-planned market entry..

We believe in adding capabilities to offer you the best technological solution.

Carlos leads this business initiative, operating independently or in collaboration with selected partners, depending on the scope of each project.

Over time, he has developed an extensive and solid network that ensures an agile, smart and effective response to market requirements.

«This approach allows me to be the single voice for my clients while providing the broad resources and expertise of a large organization».

Expanding the Maritime Battery Industry.

Carlos is driven by the idea of broadening the industry’s perspective, analyzing the wide range of battery solutions and helping others discover safe, optimal, and competitive solutions for diverse marine applications.

As a true marine battery enthusiast, he’s always on the lookout for what’s new and exciting in the space.

«I’m constantly exploring and analyzing new players, product specifications, tech trends, and market shifts — so I can bring valuable insights to my clients.”
